Bearback Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 For what we are receiving, may we all be truly thankful... I assume you were on the pre recorded program? I hope you gave 'em some stick FP. Quote
christhpc Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 And can I request that in future posts are left to circulate normally for a few hours before being pinned? I'm sure these threads will get more exposure that way. Right now this thread has only had 249 views - it should have had far more than that. I won't be able to listen to this 'live' but I'll be listening later: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/moneybox/default.stm Quote

Slumpmonkey Returns Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Guy speaking now that it is a good thing that we will be able to borrow less in the future! Inflation rising.... Quote
Slumpmonkey Returns Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 FP on now..... "BTL 'flocking' to exit" Presenter - "You've been predicting this for years - (YAWN)" Presenter - "Housing surplus - (YAWN)".... Well done - You held up well! Quote
Slumpmonkey Returns Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Bulger: "5 per cent drop then it will pick up." VI kn@b!!! Quote
Bearfacts Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Great work FP - well done. You countered all the blows from the interviewer very confidently - you are clearly very well versed in this now ! Nice to hear even VI Boulger admitting that prices are coming down and will continue to do so - even if he did spoil it rather by suggesting that rate cuts will spur a revival. When can we look forward to hearing you next ? Quote

enrieb Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Good solid points made by FP, same old discredited arguments from the VI side (housing shortage?) I think that over the past five years the points made the HPC lobby have always been solid. It's just that now people are starting to believe us with the evidence of what is happening in America and our own housing market hitting all the same branches on the way down. Sentiment is slowly turning, there are fewer bulls around and the bears are beginning to be treated with a little more respect. Quote

Bearback Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) Maybe we could suggest some replies to the same old VI mantra. VI says "Shortage of supply means house prices will continue to rise" FP's reply to be "If you ignore the 840,000 empty homes, then I agree, there is a shortage of property" If FP says one of your suggested replies in a tv or radio appearance you get a big pat on the back.

notthereyet Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 For what we are receiving, may we all be truly thankful... At least they all agreed prices will fall, if not all agreeding on the amount of the fall. Well done. Quote
The Ayatollah Buggeri Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Fantastic interview just now! JD gave clear and reasoned evidence for his prediction of a 40% drop (e.g. America), followed by Boulger, who simply asserted his belief that the credit crunch would ease off sometime next year and then, after a rocky few months, everyone will live happily ever after. Interesting change of tone from the BBC. A few months ago they wouldn't have given anyone from this site the time of day. For a while they occasionally interviewed someone from Priced Out, but she was clearly out of her depth, incoherent, failed to press home relevant arguments and was always followed by a slick and well-rehearsed VI. The boot was certainly on the other foot this evening. Quote
RJG18 Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 My thoughts exactly. There was once a time when anyone on the "doom-monger" side of the fence was portrayed to be a complete nutter by the media. Now, everytime JD is given an airing he gives the public the impression of being slicker, better informed and well-argued than whatever VI is rolled out to counter him. Well done FP. When all of this has played out to it's conclusion we'll use some of the piles of money saved by HPC'ers or STR'ers to build a 200ft gold statue of you in Trafalger Square. Quote

Or we could have a monument of a big cliff with Rosie Millard about to run off the edge of it. Kirstie Allsop could be standing there encouraging people to run off it too. Quote
RJG18 Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 anyone got a link? http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio then go to Radio 4 ..... Money Box ..... Listen Again Quote
