Seriously though, when did Jon Boy call the peak of the market? Was it 2002?
That's got to hurt

It was the end of 2002 to be fair. I expect the good Professor is thinking that if he met him 10 years ago he would have said "Don't sell to rent Jonathan, its a bit of a Catch 22 situation".0 -

Is it true that Jonny has actually now capitulated and bought a house?
I wonder how much he lost waiting for the crash that never was ?
My heart bleeds for him.

Love to see a linky for that.0 -
It's very easy to have a pop a J Davis, but if my memory serves me correctly, back in the days of "house prices went up again last month by 2%" (circa. 2005/6), "you can't go wrong with bricks and mortar", J D was one of the only commentators who we heard saying "this will all go wrong". Now his exact predictions may have missed the mark, but I think I'm right in saying that most pundits, post credit-crunch, said "nobody saw that coming". It's arguable that J Davis did see it coming, and his forecasts that property prices would fall fairly heavily were not exactly outrageous, and came very close to being spot on.
Why not have a poll "Who is the WORST predictor of gold prices ?".
No need, I suppose, Hamish wins the prize.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
Maybe you should include Assetz on that list.0

JD joined HPC in November 2004.
In spring 2005 he predicted house prices would crash....in 2007.
Not to shabby.

No. Apparently it is not true.
It is in fact nothing more than a bull talking unsubstantiated discredited nonsense.
Who could have predicted that. :rotfl:
In some ways I don't care if I'm renting for ever. No-one is going to create wealth from housing for the next generation.0 -

, yes bitterness would appear to be a key driver.
As GD has correct cottoned onto, this discussion is more about the spurious obsessions of certain posters for a specific individual rather than about the individual himself.0
