You keep asserting people are mocking, but this at least on my part is not so. What I feebly try and do is raise your consciousness such that you might end up as one of those people able to raise up above thier robotoscised instinctive brain imprints and thus see the world in a more balanced manner.

What's that if it's not mocking?

If it's your simple view on others, should you not be looking at your own advice?

Why are you so concerned people think this way? You go to lengths to show others peoples downfalls over many threads. Why? Theres only one reason for it...it offends your personal view, as you think your personal view is the right view and there is no other.

I'm afraid your personal view has been, like everyone elses, including mine, totally blown out of the water. When it comes down to that, you are no better than anyone else on this forum. It seems THAT bothers you, and therefore have to go to lengths to put others down in other ways, making you look superior.

As I said, you like psycology, and all this is about is making others look inferior against yourself. The only people who need to do that, are those feeling inferior.

Wotsthat does the same. Finds someone with an alternative view, and instantly labels them, instead of having to challenge their views with his own thoughts. Far easier to label someone than it is to challenge them.

Have a nice day

You've been telling us since 2008 that we're doomed... not happened yet...

Next leg down is still underway.

You were wrong then and were even happy that the economy and people were struggling, it looks like you were wrong here too old bean...

and then you posted this that was so far from the truth it was laughable..

I'm wagering 50-70% from peak.

The BOE has yet to put interest rates up, and boy are they gonna go up

carry on with your hypocrisy wanting people to be thrown out of their homes if house prices did fall, maybe you could get one then... at least you provide good entertainment though.

A few pessimists would have stopped missold US subprime debt? How does that work?

The pessimists would have questioned the value of the CDOs etc and stopped them being bought and sold.

All these threads trying to mock others with groups of people huddling together to have a pop.... getting a little tiring in all honesty.

Hmnn, interesting point about mockery. :think:

How many times have you told us the economy is turning? You were on who stated there wouldn't even be a downturn.

Oh dear, hoisted on his own petard. In the same post, no less. :cool:

Relax my friend, it's only an internet forum

For some it seems to be more than a forum.
Racking up tens of thousands of posts, checking who thanks who, desperately trying to 'win' the argument, you know who I'm talking about.
Day in day out surrounded by posts of doom mongers announcing financial armageddon, currency collapse and mass reposessions. It rubs off and they end up in a downward spiral of self-inforced negativity and misery.

The rest of us carries on with life, go to work, pay off the mortgage, feed the family, grab opportunities, take risks and reap rewards.

There is a big difference between pessimism and being realistic. Unfortunately the economy is a mess and not improving.

Is it getting worse?

How can you say the next leg down is wrong, when we have just entered back into recesssion and house prices are indeed falling (even by not much?).

As for the 50-70, as stated, over and over again to you chucky, and I even had JohnnyBravo backing me up on this the other day, I have since changed my outlook based on the data and policies put in front of me.

You keep banging on about 1 thing said years ago, but won't accept anything said since. I've said I was wrong, admitted it. I'll say it again if you like. But you keep on dragging the same things up, as if I'm still holding onto those thoughts.

You have issues.

Back in recession. Negative growth. Inflating prices. Worsening Eurozone. Faltering US recovery. UK AAA rating under threat. It is unsustainable.

So what are you doing about it?

You've listed six things there as examples of why things are bad, getting worse, and, presumably unlikely to get better. Do you notice that you don't have any control over anyone of them.

I don't spend too much time worrying about any one of those things - what's the point?

Much better to influence the things you can rather than worry about those you can't.

Hang on - are you saying incessantly spamming internet forums isn't a useful plan of action?

Good lord.
