    You seem to be more obsessed with defending hpc than any of the posters on here are with commenting about it.

    Straight in there, every time, to defend the indefensible.

    Gosh, I wonder why.....:think:

    Is that what you class as a defence?

    No wonder your house price debates are full of such insanity! :)

    Oh dear....

    In case you hadn't figured it out yet Graham, doire is right in there like a shot accusing anyone who points out that the hpc crowd have been catastrophically wrong of being "obsessed".

    It's a transparent ad-hominem tactic, and the fact he does it so very consistently leads to the obvious conclusion he's got a vested interest in defending hpc.

    We all know why....

    That's what I thought to your original post.

    It's also what I thought to the one I am responding to :D

    As a sidenote, this whole bull bear things is absolute nonsense. The arguing over who was right and wrong and the constant goalpost moving, which means no one will ever have the chance to be right, is mental. Absolutely none of of have been right long or medium term.

    Yet you and Derv seem to spend hours arguing with the "more extreme elements". Leave them to their obsession with self-justifying their decision to buy.
    The longer this stagnation goes on the more desperate it is getting.

    Indeed I forecast 25-35% falls at the start(200/2008) and have consistently been over bearish on my prediction every year since.

    I am still called a bull on here though?

    Probably. Anyone that shows a glimmer of optimism on here is a bull.
