There are a few that can only see problems. Must get quite depressing after a while.
Which is a shame, because those that see problems might be able to do something to prevent them. I mean, nobody saw the credit crunch approaching (apart from a few, who were mostly dismissed or laughed at), and it did happen and has caused a spot of trouble.

You really believe it:rotfl::rotfl:
You really do believe that one months data is enough to convince you, well thats another nail in the coffin to serious debater Hamish's reputation.
You may say that today, but when Halifax fell 2.3% in April (after a 2.2% rise in March) your views on just one months data were slightly different...homelessskilledworker wrote: »
It has now broke the £160k barrier.
That is all the major indicies showing red this month, still early days, but with further tightening of lending and more regulation being introduced over the next few months I now think there is a good chance things are going to get a lot worse.

Too true. May as well live for today if you can only see problems ahead. What would be the point of planning for the future?0 -
Prices rise by £340 in one month and you spunk yourself? The true rise, taking out seasonal adjustment is 0.2%HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »Prices rise by the most in over two years, on top of all the other positive indices lately, and you still typed that with a straight face....
Well done!
Epic propaganda effort! Brit would be proud...0 -

There may be a point.
Let's say you see that there is a leaking tile on your roof. You know there will be problems ahead. Do you "live for today", and simply ignore the leak. Or would it be best to address the minor problem, and avoid future trouble ?30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -

what i hope is that halifax shows -1.3% for the same period, if that happens i will get a box of popcorn and come here. i reckon we will see some of the most bizarre arguments from both sides of the fence that have ever been tabled in the epic history of arguments on a small internet forum that no one ever vists or takes notice of.0

Thanks Rinoa for proving my point and producing one of my many posts where I make the point that you cannot read too much into one months figures (-:0 -

What "bizarre arguments"?
There are no bizarre arguments since everyone knows that 1.3% in a single month proves total recovery on the house price front. That's almost 17% a year! So house prices are set to double in 4½ years. Large gin & tonics all round.......0
