Full Version: Are There Any Bulls Left.
Now, that is a coincidence.
I was litterally just saying to a colleague of mine that when I started looking at this website 6 months ago there were lots of bulls but now they have all disappeared. Have they turned away from the dark side ?

The likes of Richard Branson and Joseph Lewis are suggesting this is the moment to be buying into the battered financial sector.

Are they right? Probably. For anyone with the money to withstand a turbulent stretch, there are fortunes to be made. When a market goes haywire, it is always worth watching what the wealthy are doing with their money.
Last week, we learned that Lewis had boosted his stake in U.S. investment bank Bear Stearns Cos. to 8 percent. He has now spent $1 billion accumulating shares in Bear Stearns since the subprime crisis broke. That is serious money -- even for a man who ranks among the top 400 in Forbes magazine's 2007 billionaires list, with an estimated fortune of $2.5 billion.

Its not a permanent condition but it can come back at any time.
I'm bullish on property over a ten year period, but for now I'm expecting price falls or at least stagnation in the UK. No idea how long this will last. But ten years from now prices will be higher.
I'm also expecting inflation so a lot of the price rise over ten years will be inflation (in my humble opinion). But that beats the underside of a mattress.

I guess BTLers are more busy hunting for remortgages and attending accountancy crash courses to work out their losses...
Have a look at Singing Pig, it is just dead. You hardly get a post a day in each topic... :-)

I am certainly bearish about property at the present time...who would not be? Having said that, there is bound to be an upturn in the future...so that a bear now is a potential bull!
Any guesses as to how long for the next upswing?

Patience is a virtue.
We've not really had the downswing yet. Only the anticipation of it, and the start in some areas.

Believe me, this is HPC's gain because ttrtr and CO are still spouting the same old cr ap they always did.

I have it on good authority that CO was an early prototype of the Flirtbot.
Obviously improvements have been made since the "Stuckrecordbot 2000" (to give the CO bot it's official title) was developed. The charmless, pedantic droning of the SRB2000 would not be conducive to flirting online.
The SRB2000's references to its "son" were in fact coded references to the BATTY2005 ("Bought At The Top, Yikes!") which has now been

RIGHT.
The former mad-bulls are now the scared-bulls.
And they are too busy trying to shore up their wobbly property portfolios, or offloading the most-geared properties
before we move into full "crash cruise speed."

Members of this forum are congratulating themselves on successfully predicting this downturn. Am I impressed...most definitely not!
The boom/bust cycle is a constant feature of capitalist economies...the only variables being the intensities of the boom/bust and the respective time lags. Hence, the prediction of a bust is a total no brainer!
I suspect many forum members enjoy being permanent bears...anyone predicting cannibalism on the streets if things get really bad? There is nothing like a really frightening scenario in order to keep one's spirits up!
