Geneer is so proud of this thread he's actually gone over to CC to tell them all about it.

Osessed or what?
Oh I think this one will run and run clownbumbles.
Glad do see you, Hamish, Fubra and Pimerne1 have all made it to the party.
Not like I planned it that way or anything.

Yes, you returned to CC to let hem know you've spent all day on a forum of more interest to you. Is this your forum of choice now?
If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -
Edit. Geneer is now up to 62 posts one MSE on one day on MSE (he has made an additional 5 since 9.56pm). Plus posts on other property forums. A solid 10 hours work on a Sunday !!!!!!!!!!!
You go girl !!! Let it all out.:D
What triggered this Geneer? Did you exchange contracts today at 2007 prices?????:eek:

Wrong thread PG. You want to be on the thread you created to discuss me discussing house price predictions on a house price forum.
In your giddy excitement you appear to have gotten all turned around.0 -

Well no. They generally don't care all that much about what happens on other forums. Pretty much in the same way as the MSE members heap derision on the HPC obsessives here.
But there appears to be the odd Global issue thats worth flagging up for all parties.
For example, they were most amused at your "Evils of moderation" thread was uncerimoniously deleted here.
Forum of choice? Well in a way it has been for some time.
But I do retain a fondness for my pals at CC.
As opposed to the large amounts of white noise generated here.
You see not that you have finally comitted full time you and pimp are now just small fish in a big sea.
You shouldn't be jealous that I saw the opportunities for entertainment on MSE before you did.0 -

He admitted that problems in the US can impact the UK, but stated that the differences between the markets would protects us to a large extent.
And he was absolutely bang on correct that the UK supply shortage would shelter our market from the worst of the storm. US prices are down 38% from peak, whilst UK prices are now just 10% or so below.
Because the differences of supply and demand have created a completely different result.
UK = QE, bank bailouts, ZIRP, help for homeowners.
USA = QE, bank bailouts, ZIRP, help for homeowners.
But their prices have fallen off a cliff, whilst ours dipped slightly and then recovered most of the losses in short order.
The main difference is supply and demand. We have a 3% vacancy rate, they have a 13% vacancy rate.
SO whilst JD was banging on about 50% nominal falls until the end of last year, (only now revised to a smaller amount), Boulger has every right to be smug. He was far more right than JD.
You are simply blinded.
I have no real allegance to any of them. I've simply said no one got it right. But to say one person is correct, when they quite specifically stated falls would not happen (and the credit crunch may actually be good for house price growth), and another is wrong because he said falls of up to 50% is just outright nonsense.
Your view though, so thats up to you. I'm just stating your view is heavily biased.0 -
Hmm.
Davis is clearly stark raving bonkers. His foaming-at-the-mouth outbursts don't do him a great deal of credit. He's a fairly knowledgeable/clever type but is so hopelessly biased on this issue that it's hard to take anything he says overly seriously.
Boulger is a shameless VI who invariably uses his public voice to try and 'talk up' houses sales, I suspect properly understanding very few of the things that he's commenting about and not really caring about that - his only objective is to put the most positive possible spin on things.
I don't think that either deserves all that much credit.
Oh - and Rinoa's surely an estate agent or similar. Blatant, mindless, disingenuous, VI. One really has to wonder about Hamish too despite the contrary background he's described. I don't think it'd be even vaguely normal for anyone in any other line of work to be quite so obsessed, one-track, and, again, disingenuous.FACT.0 -

He does have an interesting presentation style. I tend to imagine he mixes up the VIs with the clown shoes who used to riot their way across HPC back in the day. Before they were all punted over to MSE.
But even you have to admit.
April 2005. Predicting a house price crash in 2007.
Predicting it would be caused by a debt crisis, set of by increasing interest rates. Thats a pretty good punt.0 -

oh yeah - I mean, as someone who is capable of understanding the real underlying causes of things and tries to make honest predictions based on an understanding, davis is worth ten of boulger, clearly. but [just my opinion] he comes across as a rather troubled individual these days.
what boulger said in 2007 was risible, well, sh1te really - how could a 'credit crunch' possibly drive prices up? and his prediction that prime London would be hit worst very seriously underestimated [to the negligible extent that a clown like RB could ever understand such things] the city's ability to grab itself an ever-larger slice, even with a shrinking overall pie.FACT.0 -

I must admit that had crossed my mind also
And you don't?
I have at times wondered if you actually were JD.
