Catweasel say it a interesting.

Mouzealot and various the rapscall love a failed predict of what it not want to a believe.

That a psychological tonic for the emotional well the being.

But,

from a scientific,

how can it react in a negative to vision of universe,

simply because of what it perceive,

and not what it have ability to understand or quantify itself?

So for mouzealot and assorted rapscalls,

naughty blog a very the important,

or else it live in world of cardboard cut-out.

But this expand a Hegelian,

and sandpit view is similar to its fate is totally dependent on its master.

And turn economic,

into some the kind natural phenomenon,

is a strange.

Margaret, Veritas might offer a compromise. He will admit that MacroBusiness is a troll pit if you'll admit to posting on Property Observer under the name "MacroBusiness".
I will.

Then Shadow might tell us what he sees fit to troll the propertyobserver website under the handle "macrobusiness"
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.

The bearish stance on iron ore was something of an editorial position taken at MacroBusiness and Becker toed the party line. It cost his portfolio dearly. David has a very good record with predicting interest rates but his iron ore predictions have been found wanting time and again. There is a danger when predictions are driven by emotions. I think they will both learn from the experience.
it has always been my criticism of macrobusiness that they don't get experts in their fields opinions on such things.

you don't need to be a industry expert to trade shares in a given sector, but it sure fucking helps.

I have no knowledge of the internal machinations of Macrobusiness, but I do know that Chris Becker is a decent guy.
Chris Becker is a dirty conman who immediately prior to the launch of MacroInvestor repeatedly falsely claimed to personally make a 50% to 70% annualized return (far in excess of Buffett's or anyone else's performance) on his trading with the obvious purpose of getting gullible idiots to part with $500 for a scam whereby he sold his trading tips.
That accusation clearly prompted him to seek legal advice about action against me which no doubt came back as "we find all that has been written to be true and you have no case".

Nice to have the last laugh with these conmen like Chris Becker and the biggest loser of all - Bullion Baron (who illegally attempted to induce Telstra employees to illegally reveal my identity from IP records).

1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

Catweasel say it a interesting,

because a naughty blog engage a general the public,

and then a mouzealots proceed to rip its pants off and another will snarl and a vicious.

Naughty blogger not really understand a nature of a internet,

particularly if it try the engage.

But there lie a problem,

with a internet,

where it can become mozealot or rapscall with impunity.

But it something a deeper,

because its the reveal of inner troll,

in itself reflect of mouse frustrate,

and make sandpit sanctuary,

for aggregate of scallywag.

And perfect for Catweasel to observe.

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.
