I'm glad you asked.

This is all about accuracy of prediction. His prediction, in 2005, that house prices would crash in 2007, turned out to be quite accurate.

The "timing" game part is when some embittered so and so starts banging on about selling houses in 2002, instead of just admitting that
the Guy who made the prediction actually nailed it.

I would have thought that the embittered one would be the person who sold in 2002 :eek:

It's all about accuracy of prediction. How then, is it only about a prediction made in 2005, and not about all the other ones that he has made over the years? What about the article from 2008 that this thread is about?

One prediction when viewed in isolation means nothing.

Yet you simply cannot bring youself to admit that he was right in that one prediction. :rotfl:

Which suggests you're not aware of the bullish posters who regularly tie themselves in knots trying to "prove" a house price crash didn't occour, when its widely accepted by everyone else that it clearly did.

oh lulz.

I didn;t realise that 2008 bit. I assumed it was from 2005 when he made his 'prediction'.

So the headline could have been 'jd tells reporter 3 years after the event, that he made a prediction that almost came true?'

Have a got it now?

This is incontrevertable evidence.

Well actually, inrelation to the article I posted, he would be saying that close to 7 years ago he made a prediction that actually came true.

I have done... see my previous posts in this thread. What does this prediction from 2005 have to do with the article from 2008 that this thread is about?

Well its hard to deny given the incontrovertible evidence.
Yet there are those still compelled to try.

I thought that it happened in 2007, as predicted by JD. In which case, selling to rent in 2002 would be pretty daft really.

Not sure why the two have to be interconnected.

Actually, I am. :rotfl:
You guys really really hate to just admit he was spot on in his prediction.

I have no idea why you think that applies to me.

Why is that prediction relevant? What about all the other incorrect ones?

He was right in that one prediction, but has generally been wrong. Why won't you admit that? What does the accuracy of one prediction demonstrate?
