I noticed the forums a lot better recently and couldnt figure out what changed until I realised most of the idiot bull spruikers are MIA or not posting much any more.

There's no sign of shadow for weeks, mike & stringberg not posting much, skamy AWOL.

Did they see the writing on the wall and run away before they have to face the music?

The budget and highest debt in history has got them spooked!

A pity, I hoped they'd stick around and take whats coming to them.

They left peter and frank holding the fort??? :bl:

The forum's been a bit quiter lately anyway. Fewer crash-spruikers too, which has been good.

While it's true that those who win never quit, and those who quit never win, those who never win and never quit are idiots.

You can only deny the obvious for so long.

The forum has been much better.

No more cherry picked graphs plastered on every thread

I think another reason they have dissapeared is bull threads are now few and far between but bear threads are coming on thick and fast. I suspect it may of been shadow that made the comment in the job loss thread the other day posting as a guest named Chris, they were basically asking that it be removed.

They need goods to post up or to comment on, bullish news, and there simply hasn't been any. There is no way to credabily spin any of the latest news as good for property investment going forward.

Australia has finally caught up with the rest of the world as far as gfc aftermath and there is no way now to avoid a big recession. It looks too like are likely to get a nasty bout of deflation to boot. That is devastating for any strategy involving capital appreciation and any one with debt they can't quickly get out from under. Property investment is going to prove itself as the greatest scam of modern history and will make the losses on stock markets look like a flutter at the races. It's going to destroy the wealth of 3 generations of Australians I am afraid.

I'd say the main reason the bulls are not lurking here is because they feel that they have won - no need to debate house priced any more.
We all know they are very high and there are no real signs of any imminent price crash.

The delusion continues,just when you thought it was over.

The reality is they know they have lost, and they know the imminent price crash is simply a matter of time now.

Why don't you go and buy a unit in Melbourne for an ip as you suggested the other day sweet dish.

I think this is it. If we were going to have a big crash it would have been 2009/2010, and we all saw what happened then.

In reality, govco could easily stimulate its way out of a another crash if it felt the need.

We're now in the stagnation phase, and it will take several further years to complete. Until then we'll see a few ups and downs but, barring some major catastrophe, little of real significance.

I still maintain that we don't have a bubble, because prices simply aren't high enough relative to purchasing power, yields are too strong and there isn't enough supply in high demand areas.

Just my 2 cents, I know many disagree. But time wil tell...

Is there any data out for Brisbane yet Peter? I know you said it was starting to get hot a month or so ago.

Everywhere else seems to have run it's course. Whether it will fall from here depends on many things. I doubt shadow has gone for long. I didn't see him call the top, and he has stuck around through bear markets before. You need a steak through the heart to get rid of shadow.

Without China it may have, but then a great many things could have happened without China. Who would have thought China would save the world?

Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy.

Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block.
