Here are some dictionary definitions of anecdotal which pretty much say its "useless"; Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis containing or consisting exclusively of anecdotes rather than connected discourse or research conducted under...

Agreed. But for my own understanding what is subjective about what I am posting? The main thrust of my posts have been that hobo-jos' self made formula and anlysis for interpreting the housing shortage is wrong or at the very least so simplistic that its illogical to think that such a straight...

Wow I admit I was wrong referring to my own experiences (anecdotal evidence) and you keep pushing the issue?!?!? lets compare my mistake to yours which was to invent your own way of interpreting housing shortage supported by absolutely no-one and I am the deluded one? The size of units are...

Huh??? U mean the comment I wrote, 200+ dwellings I have built? Granted perhaps I shouldnt have used that as an example despite there being a small difference between 200 units and what perhaps you have invested\built particularly given your forte isnt even property? It is beyond well known...

The thread is about Keen, his views, statements, predictions. The fact that the very suburb he sold out off went up 25% virtually from the point of time he sold is just amusing... If it was a discussion about the market I wouldnt refer to one suburb but I suspect you know this and were just...

You keep going out of your way to prove my point that anecdotal evidence is useless... because its my word against yours... frustrating isnt it maybe next time you will refer to publicly available information, stats etc rather than your own experiences to justify your reasonings but I doubt you...

thanks for proving my point, anecdotal evidence is useless! And you couldnt even tell I was being coy with that last statement (sheesh you walked into that one). My super did drop - fact. See how frustrating it is??? You feel like saying but my super has nothing to do with your own investment...

Anecdotal evidence is "your fact" and no one elses, debating a point with evidence specific to your experience, verifiable only by you is completely useless. Its comparable to me saying "The property market is crashing because I sold my house yesterday for a big loss" and then someone else comes...

Cant be bothered finding it but in another thread some time back you claimed to have put me on ignore, so no assumptions beyond assuming you were speaking the truth. "I'm making a motza.." these type of statements usually come from people needing reafirmation or need to "convince" people of...

The Sunfish ignore list is long and varied so dont worry your in good company I assure you :D However I do take pleasure in knowing that the likelyhood is that Sunfish hasnt ignored us and actually does read our posts. His problem is that having said he has ignored us means he cannot reply...

Thanks for the anecdotal evidence, as always highly valuable and useful. Next time I do my market analysis and make my investment decisions I will base it entirely on this fantastic post.. cheers.

Ok ill try again. Median price does not equal valuation. Just because the median rose by 25% doesnt mean that Keens specific property rose by exactly 25%. However median shows the direction (as best we can) as we cannot possibly value every property sold year on year for an exact figure...

In order for this flawed logic to work all low prices, median priced properties would have not NOT sell at all. If they sell for lower prices it will bring down the median price. Median price is not an average. It also assumes the type of dwelling being sold in Surry Hills changed...

StefanA you cannot simly select a particular month in the year that suits your view. As you can see median price jumps up and down between months given the number of sales for that month can have a large impact on the median. Its just just as easy to pick a month that shows a rise. Why not...

ignorance is bliss.

sorry evand but your demigod is still a muppet... nice to see how quick you come out running at any sign of some actual fact supporting Steve Keen.. unfortunately StefanA is wrong, dont know how he came to those figures so I have attached the screen shot to remove any doubt... awwwww better...

Sorry mate. I retract (if i can) the tone of that post then. I just go out of my way to not talk about my developments (which personally I think is at the forums loss) however I have no choice because I will simply be attacked as being bias. Which I find absurd given this is a property forum...

lol. I think the property market is crashing yet I hold out for a "higher" price.. lol. You dont see the contradiction in views? You dont see the stupidity in claiming a crash yet holding out for a higher price? The cherry on top is the fact prices then proceeded to rise a further 25%...

talk his own book? Are you making the implication that I do? Do you honestly think that I beleive the readership of my posts on this forum is that great as to alter the real estate enough to benefit anyone of my developments none of which I ever ever ever ever mention on here? If so please...

Oh evand you are by far one of the more deluded posters here.. He decideds if the property is passed in so he "held out" for a better price. Thanks for rephrasing what I said. How can you not see how stupid this is, he thinks prices are crashing but he doesn't take the highest bid in an...
