Jobless benefits declined to 320,000 the lowest level in 6 years (October 2007).
Retail sales of motor vehicles rose 9.5% which is attributed to slower growth in retail shopping as consumers are presently spending more on big items which had been put off over the previous 5 years. Even so retails sales of clothing and accessories increased 3.8%.
Despite your claims most economists say the US economy is accelerating unemployment is falling the property market is growing strongly even if it did miss expectations.
The US economy is strengthening despite massive cuts to Government spending and congress doing all it can to derail the economy. I notice how bears no longer talk of government cuts derailing the economy anymore, just as I said it would not. You also over play the importance of the Fed QE policies, its affects will be temporary and short lived when fully withdrawn. In my opinion the sooner the Fed withdraws the QE program's the better, the economy no longer needs it.
Have you heard about the ageing nations and the unfounded liabilities? Our own future fund is only $130 billion short and most in the EU are in far, far worse shape.
Basing anything on the past, with favourable demographics, is mad as batpoo.
None of that alters the fact that you falsified the claim of another poster.
I will continue to expose your dishonest attempts to totally misrepresent innocent people and present lies to this forum.
Unlike yourself (with your hypocritical ID) I am interested in truth. It doesn't matter a jot how much you wish to censor exposure of your lies. I will continue to expose your lies whenever I choose to.
Misrepresenting others and then trying to ban corrections will not bring you a cheap house.
Just write the truth if you don't wish to be exposed. 12.7% so far since your doomer talk, where you live.
What? like housing costs to income havent changed since 1994 you lying astroturfing prick.
How do you explain this then?
Property acquisition as a topic was almost a national obsession. You couldn't even call it speculation as the buyers all presumed the price of property could only go up. That’s why we use the word obsession. Ordinary people were buying properties for their young children who had not even left school assuming they would not be able to afford property of their own when they left college- Klaus Regling on Ireland. Sound familiar?
The evidence of nearly 40 cycles in house prices for 17 OECD economies since 1970 shows that real house prices typically give up about 70 per cent of their rise in the subsequent fall, and that these falls occur slowly. Morgan Kelly:On the Likely Extent of Falls in Irish House Prices, 2007

Nothing in that post is relevant to the post to which you were responding, and nothing in it has any relevance to this thread.
But I'm not surprised you are using diversion to hide and refusing to face up to your deception of misrepresenting another poster and then trying to ban exposure of your deceitful action.
With regard to your complaint above you are merely repeating a post with which you opened a 14 page thread four months ago. You were thoroughly demolished in that thread in which even the meaning of LVR had to be explained to you. The ABS data, which you continue to reject without grounds, was explained and seen to be fully supported.

It's a pity he doesn't apply the same high standards to his own posts. But whenever you pull him up it's always some vague words to the effect of - 'oh I don't know why the figures differ - I got it from a trusted source - you can't hold me responsible if the sources figures differ from yours'.
The man is the slipperiest eel in the eel pool. Upholding the truth my arse.
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'

Strindberg, you are the one with the sig claiming that housing costs havent changed to income since 1994.
What I posted is the census data which as you know quite well shows the that claim is total bullshit.
So don't go round accusing me of being dishonest you prick.

So basically Mike what your trying to say is you believe in the recovery... so gold will tank.
This will cause the gold industry in WA to keep unwinding like it is currently while the mining investment boom reverses.
US consumer sentiment ebbed in August and residential construction rose less than expected last month, potentially dimming hopes of an acceleration in economic activity in the third quarter.
Seriously most of the news out of the US has been pretty positive economy-wise the past couple of months. You can always pull out some bad numbers out of the volatile series, but most of the leading indicators are consistent with a modest but accelerating recovery. The concurrent indicators just show an exasperatingly slow recovery but a recovery nevertheless.
How the stock market reacts is only of secondary interest on that front, but I do take the slow creep up of long-term bond yields as a positive sign.
The wildcard, as ever, is Europe and for the first time in a long time that is looking a bit positive as well. China's exports to Europe has a surprise jump last month, even though the Eurozone's trade surplus increased at the same time. (imports and exports both rose).
One indicator that I watch carefully which is advising caution is the YoY %change of the NFP. It has stalled out at 1.7%. If it turns over and goes down below 1%, then look out!

I see you are learning well from Veritas at the art of misrepresenting the statements of other posters. You just made up that shit which you maliciously attribute to me. But of course, I'm not surprised you are reverting to dishonesty - you lose every single discussion and your lies are true to your form.
As I pointed out to Veritas, being dishonest will not get you the Armageddon which you hope and crave for and that cheap house in Perth at others' expense of which you are both dreaming.
You said you were going to ignore me and that's fine, but if you are going to continue to abuse me as above I'm happy to respond in kind to dishonest fuckfaces like yourself.
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.
