All the thanks are from the usual clowns you would expect, you see them posting logged onto this site at any one time you decide to visit, it could be months and they will be logged on spouting the same old rubbish day after day after week after .....................(well you know) :-).
Here are the facts, you have a dozen or so sad little trolls, half the time pretending that they are anything but. They constantly post on here 24/7 year after year in their vain attempt to control what cannot be controlled, house price crashes.
They pretend they are unbiased and like racists they pretend to really have "a black friend", but in this case they pretend they are sat on the fence when deep down they have a hate of anything that is anti property price growth.. WE ALL KNOW IT, and will ONLY attack those type of ppl and posts.
Now for whatever reason these usual sad little men, and they are all sad little men, get their self esteem from their house alone, and who knows why, one got lucky with a right to buy, another few are mortgaged up to the eyeballs and in heavy debt, but the rest you can only guess.
Now many are obviously obsessive and control freaks, hence why they are logged on here 24/7. These are the type of people who must control things if they can, fronting up to a real person though is out of the question:) A bunch of Mr Beans with attitude.
Now here is one of the biggest facts that we ALL know about these guys but none of the more sensible posts on here will say for fear of 24/7 attacks. They want to somehow control events, the biggest enemy on the internet and to their cause is HPC which they are all banned from, the anger and pain that they cannot shut them up is clear to see, so they rant on here instead day after day after day after week after week after week after month after month after month after year after year after year........ will come back in a few months maybe and the same muppets will still be here(logged on without a doubt)attacking anyone against their cult and posting the same BS.
p.s LOL LOL as i post on this lovely sunday morning the usual suspects are starting to log on already, for goodness sake get a life.
Deary me.
I think you need to get off internet forums and get out in the real world for a while. Rebalance your perspective on life.0 -
Why should prices crash at all? What if prices simply corrected very slowly over an extended period.
It doesn't work like that though, just like it doesn't on the way up.
If prices start to fall (they are reported to have done so in London) then some people may hold off. This means those at the margins that have to sell, have to drop their prices, further drops which undermines confidence e.g. fear.
On the way up the opposite happens, people fear prices may get out of reach so they feel pressured to buy and we get bidding wars.
A gradual correction might be a good scenario for the majority without hurting too many (because those who bought can adjust over time by repaying their debt), but it's unlikely to happen.0 -

.... surely some mistake? Trolls logged on 24/7 don't need to log on, on a Sunday morning or any other time.
However, your bigger mistake perhaps is to believe that the attempt to control house price crashes by a dozen of us is "in vain".
On the contrary. Our last attempt, in 2008 worked perfectly. The twelve of us actually sign on at different times to avoid being linked, but behind the scenes we arrange all financial aspects and not just house prices. I thought our last ruse was rather clever. We arranged the crash at a time when none of us was moving......
We let the prices crash to just within the range of the great unwashed, but rather cleverly masterminded a complete mortgage famine. Raising hopes, only to smash them at the last minute is a wonderful form of torture I always think.
However, our trump card has been to give it time for people to put together their deposits/mortgages while at the same time instructing builders to hang up their wheelbarrows for just enough time to get the prices ramping up beyond the means of the young and hopeful. A masterstroke of "Double Whammy" if you ask me.
I would ask you to keep this to yourself, but our next rollicking ruse is about to happen. Having all got our house prices back up where we wanted, we will all cash them in by downsizing. We have controlled the Stock Markets up to almost record levels and are ready to liquidate all our cash and buy gold. Then our masterstroke happens on May 7th when we will install a true left-wing socialist government (Labour) [Graham's on board].
Hence the markets will fall through the floor, alongside house prices. Prices will be temptingly low, but as the whingers will find out, they will buy their house at a song, but then lose their jobs and not be able to pay the 15% mortgage rate. Once evicted, we plan to reach for our substantial cash and buy all these houses up at quarter-price.
I plan to bulldoze all mine and build a palace that will make the Taj Mahal look like a garden pond by comparison.
I look forward to supping my very large gin & tonics while watching all Mr Bean episodes in HD 3D.......:rotfl:0 -
I particularly like how we arranged a crash followed by lower interest rates but then made sure only we'd be able to benefit.
I do sometimes feel bad thinking of those who got excited about lower prices and lower interest rates discovering the MSE DHPE crew wouldn't let them have a mortgage. Talk about a 'here's what you could've won' moment. The guilt soon passes - last thing I needed was competition when buying my second home.

They won't be able to afford their rocketing rent either. Many will be forced into humiliating male prostitution, forced to give handjobs to top-hatted laughing BTL landlords round the back of the railway station, in return for the price of a cardboard box to sleep int middle of mortorweeeeeh.0 -

I deliberately expressed confidence in a variety of online polls over the last few years so that the economy would pick up and survivalist crashtrolls would find they'd wasted their benefits burying food in the garden.
It was also me not Gordon Brown who sold all our gold to make its price tank. I did this knowing full well that the trolls were long gold. Many have explained cogently to me how the right price for gold is $80,000 an ounce so I have conspired against them to keep it cheap.0 -

One of the crashtrolls on here bought several sacks of rice to protect himself from the financial apocalypse but found a few weeks later that rats had eaten it.
I kid you not, this is real. :rotfl::rotfl:0 -

One of our visiting urban foxes does that with the food we leave out.
When he comes round tonight, I shall shout "You are a survivalist crashtroll" at him and see if he agrees, or attacks me.0 -

They did him a favour, old rice can give you beriberi - a very unpleasant tropical disease:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriberi
Historically, beriberi has been endemic in regions dependent on what is variously referred to as polished, white, or de-husked rice. This type of rice has its husk removed in order to extend its shelf life...Dry beriberi causes wasting and partial paralysis resulting from damaged peripheral nerves. It is also referred to as endemic neuritis. It is characterized by:
- Difficulty in walking
- Tingling or loss of sensation (numbness) in hands and feet
- Loss of tendon reflexes[4]
- Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs
- Mental confusion/speech difficulties
- Pain
- Involuntary eye movements (nystagmus)
- Vomiting.
that could be very nasty if a crashtroll got it simply because the mental confusion and the vomiting would not look much different.0 -

I bow to your far superior knowledge of what the poor do these days to earn a few more shillings. I feel ashamed to ask, but did you learn this first hand?0
