BBC Economist admits property market is inflated
The Times: Property prices
Evan Davis corrects The Times for wrongly quoting his opinion, and doubts "investing" in property is a good bet anymore. Please see also the bullish caption to the article, which otherwise conveys some balanced opinions, http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/article1554085.ece
One wonders if The Times journalist had in fact understood Davis' points

Poor Evan,that's got to be bloody annoying. He's certainly sailing close to the wind at the BBC though with his 'controversial' views on the frothy market. BBC Thought Control Dept are probably polishing the genital cuffs as we speak!

Congratulate him on taking the time to correct the VI at evan.davis@bbc.co.uk

Of course because the regulators have a sensible policy in place nobody is allowed to comment on a market like that without first stating their position in the market.
So we know what the people putting out these articles have in their portfolios correct?

btw .... on the other matter earlier GBP/USD is of no interest or at least only of transient interest.
That's like measuring Andrex vs. Sainsbury's own brand. They are both toilet paper.
Monitor GBP versus EUR or GBP versus CNY or GBP versus in XAU in the future as suggested by others.

Good old Evan - he's one of us really (though he'd never admit it).
