    i would imagine they would like to respond by pointing out that prices have increased by x amount in such and such period of time so some falls are therefore inevitable.

    Only a complete fool would suggest there was a direct correlation between house prices and the share price of one particular company... this probably explains why "the bulls" don't have much to say on the subject while the HPC crowd are wetting themselves with excitement. ;)

    Foxtons share price dropped 20% in one day yesterday, did house prices do the same?

    Exactly, so by your own admission that's proof there is no direct correlation between house prices and the share price of one particular company.

    I'm glad the penny has finally dropped. :)

    There's clearly an awful lot of things that you don't understand. :rotfl:

    So nice try but you have just proved yourself that there is no direct correlation between house prices and the share price of one particular company...

    TWO particular companies
    countrywide and foxtons peaked at the same time and have been declining ever since
    both profit from rising house prices

    Countrywide's share price has dropped 33% since March, did house prices do the same?
