So you take all your advice from movies?
Stage play for the more culturally addicted of us. One of the more important depictions of how society has elevated and engulfed salespeople. Superb exploration of the suburban psyche.

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.

Almost as surreal as mortgage brokers as barometers of economic prudence. In reality, their driving motivation is the set of steak knives. Similarly, in property bubbles, real estate agents believe they're seers, when all they've done is stump up for a license that that any old chump can get.

Yep, and what is even worse is that any old anonymous hack on the internet can offer their entirely uneducated opinion.

I don't know about that. I would suspect that some anonymous hacks are vastly more educated than most mortgage brokers and real estate agents. MBs and REAs are not really much more than the characters depicted in GGR. They harbor no special ability to interpret the world for the mere fact that they stumped up for a ticket.

You are right, there are some very well informed anonymous people on the internet who give wonderful insight, but you're not one of them.

Well that's your own personal opinion. To suggest that mortgage brokers and REAs are no more knowledgeable about the world than most suburbanites may not rub with you, but I'm sure it's of value to someone. They're not going to hear that opinion from the media, as the media wouldn't exist in its current incarnation without the property industry. The media has a role to pay in protecting the hordes feeding off it over the suburbanites.

Well that's your own personal opinion. To suggest that mortgage brokers and REAs have no knowledgeable about what they do takes an incredibly stupid person. To suggest that anyone doesn't know their own trade and standard of work is idiotic, but that's what you are doing.

If you wish to suggest that they are not providing accurate information to cover up something then that's something that each reader can determine for themselves without an uninformed commentator like you trying to force feed your opinion on them.

Yes and some drunks can still drive a car. You go right ahead and hop into a car with a drunk telling yourself some of them are ok some of the time.

That's what you are advocating for peoples finances.

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. Don't post NSFW content. Racist or ethnic slurs and homophobic comments aren't tolerated. Accusing forum members of serious crimes is not permitted. 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. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads. Any member who believes another member has violated these rules may report the offending post using the report button.
