    Do the maths and see what I have saved, if you can.

    If you look back through my posts you will find the proof but as you didn't seem to understand or couldn't bring yourself to, I don't think you will now.

    I won't do the maths , but I will post the result, of your cash rich, (chuckles) assets poor strategy, to buy a house now, you would need the market to drop by 120% to be ahead of the game, that's right, you need someone to give you a house plus around £30k..... God you're so smart being so cash rich and all :T

    Won't make much difference to me if it does I'll still be living rent free and you will still have wasted the money you have spent waiting for a crash.

    How do you explain the more than 25% increase in your target area since you started looking just over a year ago? I wish my shares had moved so slowly over the same period!

    i've told you before!
    stop making things up!
    because people that make things up forget what they've made up and then make up more things that don't match up to the things that they made up before!
    just go back to your desk and make up something to say to your vendors when they ring in to ask you why their house hasn't yet sold for the price that you made up.
  • But you can call the market after 2 weeks.... You're funny, so much so that you should condsider going to a psychiatrist. Your logic is mental. :eek:

    you're right, acorn
    the market is about to shoot up again.

    like a said a few months ago
    cash is the only asset not declining in real terms

    I've never once asserted such an opinion, I'm feeling like questioning your mental state was probably wise.... By saying you are wrong about one assertion doesn't in fact mean I believe the polar opposite is true, but then you're not one for logical consistency.

    Next you'll be telling me that rents aren't at record highs, because if you don't own property you generally have to pay rent, its also likely that rent payments will be considerably higher than the mortgage payments for the last 7 years....... But you can do the maths. :)

    I'm afraid it is we are not in deflation yet.
