So. Thread degenerates to embittered nonsense when bulls realise that yet another of their sacred cows has been butchered.
Who could have predicted that.

Clearly the Bearish record of prediction remains infinitely more accurate than the Bullish efforts.

Its just because those pesky bears have a better understanding of "cause" and "effect".

The bulls find themselves quite effected cos they haven't got a leg to stand on.

Geneer says he's won another argument. But Edinburgh prices still £50,000 higher than when he joined HPC. :beer:

Here's him thinking that buying in 2006 he would lose him £34k (turned out to be the other way round):

Actually quite impressed that my thread on the tumbleweed site attracted 558 views even though a bear mod moved it off topic. Hopefully this year's celebration will at least stay on the forum.

Well done you.

If 19 comments is "next to no comments" then, of course, you are correct in the same way that losing £50k by not buying in 2005 is like losing "next to no money". :beer:

But how could that be? - I thought the bears were correct in their predictions?

One you, one Heathcote/Fubra and of course me, Highlighting what a massive success you're much anticipated, obsessively discussed "anniversary" thread turned out to be.

Better luck next time eh :rotfl:

I'd rather be correct and have £50k in my pocket rather than be sort of correct about the number of comments on an internet post.

Horses for courses I suppose - money isn't everything. At least you can count to 19. (It was the average age of a combat soldier in Viet-Nam don't you know).

You're correct if 19 is next to zero. (but I say again, if a £50k loss is next to zero then I concede).

Its a lot closer to zero than 560+ innit. :rotfl:

The £50K loss and zero are closer than you think, given that neither actually exist.

We still have to wait until this worldwide crisis comes to a head. They keep kicking the can down the road even further.

When the !!!!!! really starts to hit the fan, we will see house prices fall even further.
