A bull victory

Dan:_4

It seems that the general advise to 'wait for buying' is just going round in circles. I for one have had enough of the nonsence on this forum - it can just go on forever.

Jan 2008 - 50% down by xmas 08
Jan 2009 - 50% down by xmas 09
Feb 2009 - One months rise does not mean nothing
Apr 2009 - It's just a spring bouce - the crash will continue next month
Sep 2009 - Wait till the winter for the crash to continue
Jan 2010 - Wait till the Torys get in power for the crash to continue
Jul 2010 - Wait till the winter for the crash to continue
Jan 2011 - Interest rates will rise this year, wait till then.
Sep 2011 - Wait till the winter for the crash to continue.

Is it time to close down this forum?

You forgot unemployment and no wage inflation, that was supposed to bring prices crashing down too.

You've missed quite a few other clutched straws scenarios such as CGT changes, Housing Benefit changes, unemployment etc etc etc

After a tentative and exploratory comeback yesterday Dan, it seems you are quickly growing in confidence and vigour!

Please dont close down the forum though, I need somewhere to go in my coffee breaks and they banned me from Mumsnet.

Being bearish or bullish doesn't have to follow whatever will make you better off y'know.

Base it on what you think after taking into consideration all the factors and then make up your mind. I can't see anything that's going to lift prices in any substatial way. But I can see lots which weighs down on prices. Therefore, I'm bearish.

True, but most that are openly bearish about anything are usually trying to talk down the market for personal gain.
Investors do it all the time.

Is there anyone bearish on houses on this forum that is not looking to personally gain should they fall?
Wanting them to fall just for such a simple thing as being able to buy is personal gain, as it relies on someone else losing money/equity.

The same can be said from those that openly wan't house prices to rise.

No need to close the forum. Just drop "house prices" from the title will be sufficient.
