That's not quite true Marc. The many posts i've read on here over the last couple years of people nearly going under and having to sell assets/houses to keep afloat etc and some people in a lot more trouble than that are mostly caused by over optimism and ignoring the reality of a situation(s)...

Yes, yes you've told me its only my belief 3 times. :eek: Well, if that's the case why don't they have the presses running 24/7/365. Just print more of the stuff. If its only an abstract creation of man that wont hurt right?

I'm not sure thats consistent with quolls initial post. As follows: "I'm still adamant that there is opportunities in all climates you just need to change your strategy."

Sorry Bill, having a bad day mate? I'm all ears if you'd like to go to the trouble to correct me.

Hypothetically, what strategy would be a suitable one if property prices were trending downwards over a few years. Considering current rental yields.

I'm no expert (especially on your existential philosophical post about where money comes from) but predomiantely taxpayers.

Just as it gets annoying to read the unending rose colored glasses, blue sky, blind optimism and were all going to be rich in 5 years stuff. Pretty much based on inexperience and hope. What else? Extremism at both ends is equally annoying, no?

Any minor sign of escaping the recession causes jubilation and hubris on here. people have to realise that if the market was left to deal with the GFC we would be up ***** creek without the paddle. Every western country has had to drop rates drastically, pump billions (trillions?) of dollars...

Good point. Maybe thats the divide between the bulls and the bears. Its not hard to be blindly optimistic when you don't have a lot to lose. Of course i realise its not always the case but a very good point with some validity.

If you are referring to NR's posts, you need to look at his time frame. He said it will happen in late 2010 i think. Still, i think his calls were brave but a bit extreme. But who knows whats around the corner, now is not the time for hubris mate. In fact it never is.

Or what are you really scared of?
