    The one certainty is that there is no certainty.

    Are you certain about that?

    Roger Bootle is more often right than wrong when it comes to forecasting.

    Really?


    Is this the same Bootle who has been predicting double digit price drops every year since the article above in 2003?

    The only time he predicted a price rise was in August 2007!

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Pretty impressive record, eh?

    Thank goodness for that. He'd look awful on the court

    Ha!

    He doesn't seem to be doing much on mainstream media either.

    And then withdrew their forecast in mid 2007

    a stopped clock is right twice a day. Sadly Capital Economics can't even claim that!

    :eek:

    This week they predicted house prices to fall 30% over the next four years, which is reassuring.

    I will start to worry when they think house prices are going to rise!
