    And tell you what dude, why don't you find me some of these bulls who were saying a recovery would be well underway in 6 months from Jan? Because I certainly didn't see any.

    Pay attention Julie ;)
    The economy is turning around fast - you won't percieve this as your mind filters out upswing evidence and only files downside evidence.

    I can't be @ssed to go into the evidence this time as it will fall on deaf ears.

    All I'll say is, remember these words - by summer this year the new prosperity era will be underway and plenty of green shoot (ah yes those shoots) will be visible by then.

    OK dude, so WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. Have the balls to make a prediction.

    Mine is simple: no discernible effect of the stamp duty rise by August, 3-4% YoY rises by December. Oh, and rents rising.

    All you do dude is to look for negative indicators and construct lines down via confirmation bias. And you'll get it wrong dude. Because you always get it wrong dude.

    But hey, dude, let's go through your facts.

    1) High street in ruins. So where do you buy things? Mostly I buy things online now. That's the trend you're seeing. Fact dismissed dude.
    2) Estate agents having heart palpitations? Not a fact. A few estate agents arguing for an extension of the stamp duty holiday. Why? Because it accelerates their pipeline.
    3) Stamp duty holiday ending. So how does a 1% one off increase have a long term effect. Tell me in your own words dude.

    One fact for you which is more telling. Shortfall in supply over demand for housing of somewhere close to 100K annually. That cold hard fact is far more important to prices for accomodation than any of the things you've brought to the table. You'll figure it out eventually.

  • i knew one of them was that dude conrad but for some reason the search function wont work for me!!

    Lots of bullying and sarcasm here, very little in terms of predictions.

    I rest my case really.
