Yeah being such a calm collected dude, you're not big on words are you fubs.
No doubt this inner peace is why you flounced out of HPC to join CC, and flounced out of CC to join MSE eh.
just like you did geneer? your lack of self awareness is amazing, with your bear meme and hypocrisy!

Some of you guys are absolutely fruitloop. Believe whatever makes you happy.
so speaks the craziest person on here, trying to hit the 1M post count so that at the end he can state, hand on heart, "I really have wasted my life, neglected my wife and kids and got no where in my career but at least I posted one million posts to a bunch of weirdos on a forum."

:rotfl: You said it.
They clearly don't want to believe that JD didn't even join HPC until November 2004.
And that in spring 2005 he predicted house prices would crash....in 2007.
This is what the bulls call "revisionist history".
No doubt because there is clear irrefutable evidence confirming the same.
Well thats another tiresome meme pulled apart.
Can't be many fall back positions left. I wonder what wonderful examples of tortured logic they will come up with next.0 -

Oh Dear. Even I am bored with you now.
For the sake of (hopefully) my last post on this thread, JD sold his house so that he could rent and come into the market when prices became "reasonable" again. I can't really be bothered but I could find the YouTube clip where he showed us round his house if I wanted to and where he explained his "logic".
I therefore take his prediction that house prices were too high and would fall to be when he sold his property - ie 2002.
Incidentally, I see that JD was paying rent of £1200 in 2006, he must surely be paying more than that now. How big a mortgage would you need to have at the current low interest rates to be paying that much?

If he is still in that house, and it is now worth less than £400k, isn't £1200 a lot to be paying rent (when a mortgage could be as little as £300 with a good tracker)?0 -
Not only was Jonathan pretty poor at predicting house price crashes he was also pretty poor at predicting rent crashes. This little beauty from 2005 "Rents will crash 30% to 50% in the next five years".
Oh dear.

well I think this thread has run its course so I will summarise what we have all learned. JD prophisied a housing crash every year from 2002 onward and was finally proved correct in 2007. JD sold his house in 2002 and lost out on tens of thousands of pounds. geneer is an uneducated prat who has a list of words that he tries to work into a post without really understanding their meaning, resulting in confusing posts that look randomly generated.
nothing more to see here, move along.
oh and graham devon is a spineless bear a rse licker.0 -
:rotfl:A fairly high education background I would say.
I am sure you would, but that's not what I asked.Which is why I see the benefit in buying after a significant house price crash, and putting down as big a deposit as possible.
your education didn't cover maths then did it?For some reason this escapes your big brain.
that's because I can count.0 -

I'm sorry Graham if my basic analysis still went over your head, but at the end of the day your limited abilities are no one's problem but your own.
I doubt a school child would be confused by such a simple and clean analogy.0 -

You seem to be suggesting there was no house price crash.
You are also unaware that large deposits earn preferential rates.
Which does rather suggest a distinct lack of credibility in your arguments.
But hey, why don't you just continue to throw the toys from the pram and attempt to insult everyones intellects.
That won't make you look like a fruit n nut sore loser in any way whatsoever.0
