You want to compare my opinion of Elizabeth to your sustained vendetta? Amusing.
I know Elizabeth. She has a great sense of humour.
C'mon Shad, keep going through my posts...
I don't have doubts that you are sucessful person & made the $ but you do come across as arrogant & stick your nose up @ some of the posters on this forum. I really don't know why you have a need to do that?
Btw, You do show evident personal vendetta against a poster in your signature.
SO I'll agree with Margs...on this You ARE a hypocrite.
I don't give a shit about MB I'm not interested & I certainly don't post anything there ..never have & never will.. I don't agree with the Strindberg & Margs saga ith MB , it's their fight & it has nothing to do with the rest of us .
I choose to be anon because it's SAFE & I do not have anything to hide..it's your perogative to believe me or not. The Internet can bring out the good, bad & ugly in people.
Property can either provide wealth or it can destroy..don't ever underestimate it. You need to respect it like ..the ocean.

lol, so who was in for that drink?
I put it down to the stress in Adelaide...things should calm down in a few minutes
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.
David Llewellyn-Smith is blogging today on Macrobusiness claiming they deserve an award because they got so many things right, while he claims the MSM got everything wrong.
The sad thing is, I think he actually believes this.
He even claims Leith predicted the current housing boom.
Perhaps he is referring to some other Leith, and not the guy who said this...
'an Australian house price crash is inevitable and cannot be avoided' - Leith van Onselen, Macrobusiness, 2010
Macrobusiness have been wrong on everything... house prices, iron ore, unemployment, China, the Ashes...
But especially house prices...
'it is a near certainty that Australian housing will lose value in nominal and real terms for the next decade' - David Llewellyn-Smith, 2011

Catweasel say there the problem with mouse and mouzealot understanding of universe, particularly when face with anti-narrative. and it a pschological weapon for weapon for gurus and master.
it modern incarnation of medieval the society and focus on heretics.
it like ultimate victory against a science and rational the think.
and a alive and the well in a Australia in a 2014. not a very positive represent of mouse ability to a think.
I don't have a link but I can recall Leith predicting the boom in Sydney.
Before it actually began? I very much doubt that.
He said a crash was inevitable and could not be avoided. He left no wriggle room for himself - he totally ruled out the possibility of any event that might prevent the crash.
He said the crash could not be avoided.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his tune later, after it was obvious Sydney was already in an new upcycle.
But it sounds like Macrobusiness have successfully re-written history in your mind, so I'm not surprised their other followers fall for it too. I suppose if they keep claiming they called everything correctly then eventually their fans will come to believe it and keep donating money to them. It's a form of brainwashing.
Here's Leith in 2012 talking about Sydney house prices... headwinds, slow melt, blah blah blah...
'Given that the NSW stamp duty concession expired on 31 December 2011, there is a high likelihood that demand from NSW first-home buyers will recede over the first quarter of 2012, creating headwinds for Sydney home prices and, by extension, national prices as well.
Tuesday's release of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) credit aggregates data also signaled more headwinds for the Australian housing market. Despite the recent 0.5 per cent cut in mortgage interest rates, Australian housing credit growth slumped to fresh 34-year lows, suggesting that households are becoming increasingly averse to mortgage debt (see below chart):
Without a sustained increase in the growth of housing credit, the housing market in 2012 is set to resemble 2011, and the "slow melt" of Australian house prices is likely to continue.'
Here's Leith again in 2012 predicting Sydney to fall by up to 3% over the following year...
'Over the next 12-months, Sydney's home prices are projected to perform slightly better than the national average, experiencing a price shift of between minus-3 per cent and 1 per cent'

The tone of his post today is jocular or at least that's how I interpreted it.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt — Bertrand Russell
Heck, even Peter now believes that Leith called the boom!
I am amazed at just how easily people can be deceived...
Yeah I found it fairly self congratulatory.
I don't know what's with MB and the commenters. They claim to want housing affordability, yet they mostly vote Green(Getup flatly refused to back removing negative gearing years ago, and the leaders of the Greens live in expensive, nimby controlled suburbs), they want to spend lots of taxpayer money propping the economy up and employing people in useless government departments, they wanted these really low interest rates, and they want mass immigration.
They say humans were dumb 1000 years ago. Their minds clouded with religion and superstitions. Seems not much has changed.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.
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.
