The ability of some of you dudes to be all misery gutted and sad and perpetually focused on potential negatives really IS pretty amazing - I reckons.

Sheesh, as I've commented quite recently my 18 yo niece has just bought half a pretty respectable property - With it being affordable for her. (Including eff all maintenance costs for MANY yrs that I can think of.)

A gen X in the family has recently scored a pretty plumb job - Both in terms of being challenging/interesting/potentially exciting even AS WELL AS pretty well paid.

A nephew will presumably (hopefully) graduate from uni next year; At a time (hopefully) that unemployment remains low; So his employment prospects (again hopefully) will be pretty damn fine.

And hey, we don't have raging inflation - If anything, it's a bit low for the powers that be's tastes even?

The Aussie 'peso' hasn't crashed.

While mining isn't great, it certainly seems it may have stabilised - Well, as much as an inherently unstable industry like mining might ever be able to be regarded as being 'stable'.

Turnbull and Co seem to have budgeted for some pretty big infrastructure projects?

Lordy dudes, there's plenty of positives.

And these statements are coming from someone who sure as shit doesn't regard meself as being ANY sort of a particularly positive Pollyanna type ... :)

Like wot tha f*** is wrong wif youse dudes ('n ya media 'n ya pollies [plus wotever other specific internet sites ya go to for ya daily infusions of misery?]) that ALL ya can EVER seem ta focus on is potential/possible future (and current) negatives about pretty much everything?

Sheesh, my dear ole mum who's all crippled up and my dear ole dad who's got three types of cancer any one of which is likely to kill him off 'soon' plus surely AREN'T rich, both still manage to be WAY happier 'n more cheerful than plenty of youse dudes?

But they are happy in their misery, they enjoy losing, it makes them feel really good.
When it all goes totally wrong they can then say "see I told you so"

We can't all be winners - three cheers for losers I say.
Take risks - if you win you will become wealthy, if you lose you will become wise

Perhaps it's just a whole lot easier to be negative and whinge, than to be positive and work towards real goals.

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.

Negativity is a coping mechanism for bears. They don't want to admit they made a mistake by not buying a house, so they tell themselves house prices are going to crash. It makes them feel better. They've been doing this for well over a decade. It's even worse for the silly bears who sold perfectly good homes believing a crash was imminent, only to see prices boom instead.

By constantly telling themselves that everything is about to turn to shit, they give themselves a false hope to cling to. Some of them would be down a million dollars or more on their bad decisions. So they babble incessantly about bubbles and ponzi schemes and unaffordability and vested interests etc. They convince themselves that their misfortune is all 'somebody elses' fault.

Lying to themselves like this is probably the only thing keeping them from a nervous breakdown.

Consumer protection laws extended to small businesses. Banks not permitted to repossess due to non-monetary defaults (for example, a fall in the property value).

Honestly, I have thought of posting something with the same title on here, but never saw the point. The sentiment, however, would be rather different.

Seriously, what is wrong with you all?

I've been following this forum (once source of info amoing many) on and off for a couple of years, since emigrating was first on the cards for us.

From what I can see the majority of content on this forum, whatever your personal situation and view of the market, is just sniping back and forth with pointless arguments and off topic personal insults. It's like reading something from a bunch of teenagers on a BBs / usenet in the early 90s. Given the content of most posts you could be arguing over anything, like who the best power ranger/spice girl is, trumping each other to validate your choice, and entirely entrenched in that view.

The are occasional glimpses of some reasoned discussion, in between pages and pages of guff. It's not even trolling for the most part (often a thread with start with some piece of relevant news), but you all seem to 'know' each other and just hurl abuse back and forth for the most part.

Honestly I think you all need to reel your necks in and get some proper moderators on here to slap back all of the off topic bullshit. For a forum with such a high google listing, and a fair number of actual users, the content is constantly derailed into garbage.

The sad part is when there are some proper discussions it's apparent a fair few of you actually have a decent head on your shoulders, interesting and relevant experience, varied views and the ability to offer meaningful insight.

Anyway, this will have about as much impact as a fart on the wind. 2c from a long time lurker though.

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.
