The HAMISH_MCTAVISH 2012 Predictions Thread

My only prediction is that there will be a financial crisis based on something no-one has thought about before.

Soon as I saw your name I thought here we go again, just another troll post from someone who is now starting to worry me with his stalking like behaviour. And of course a post where there is zero content.

Rather than give constant lip, why do you not destroy my opinions with good solid debate. Unlike you I want to know if I am barking up the wrong tree.
But the truth is that you are probably a very scared man that has over extended and probably put all his egss in the one basket,,, silly boy.

You can lash out as much as you want, while you are ranting at the world I will be making the best of the circumstances that are given to us, not screaming at the moon.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

How can you expect a 'good solid debate' with your ridculous predcition. Try and make a serious post first!

Anyway, thanks for the laugh sweetheart.

Silver peaked at $50 an ounce, and today is trading at $28. That's a decline of 44% from peak.

Now 'truthfully', can you really call that anything other than a "crash"?

Yeah, that's a crash. I'm just saying that over the last year it's down around 7%. So all depends when you bought it. Your comment was that gold and silver 'crashed' in 2011, which is kinda true, but they also rose highly as well, and ended the year pretty much even.

House prices are down around 10% from peak. Would you say that's "volatile" too?

I would say that something that goes up and down a lot, over a shortish period of time, is volitle. So I'd agree with Graham in that silver has been volitle. House prices haven't been 'volitile' just because they've fallen.

And as usual nothing to contribute, just personal insults, so pathetic and childish.

Like Aberdeen house prices you mean.

QE: Mostly depends on the Euro crisis and it's effect on bank lending, although we could also see it if inflation looks likely to fall well below target. I'd say a 50/50 chance we'll see another round in 2012.
