"although we did wonder how they could do it so cheaply"

I think he might be.
Max now has a BBC show called the "The Oracle".
His personal youtube channel is here:
Maths IS a thing of beauty.
http://anutshellreview.blogspot.com/2006/1...or-and-his.html
'A Beautiful Mind' is not the only film that looks upon mathematics in this way - great film.
Maybe a bit nerdist, but to see an equation or a mathematical prediction coming true is, in some way, beautiful ... even if it does mean financial armegeddon in the process. Drat - I'm getting all emotional ...

Bradford & Bingley said ... “We have a reserve price, which is the same reserve we placed with agents. We did not know about the buyers’ commission; it is a bit cheeky, really.”
"We didn't know abou the buyers' commission". Oh dear. Is this the same due diligence that directors Christopher Rodriguez, Rod Kent et al. exercised as B & B went bust - oops - were given away to Santander to prevent bankruptcy, leaving their shareholders (including one johnny5thumbs - ioops!) with zilch !
(1) Are they still not reading the small print?
(2) Are they even capable of reading the small print?
(3) Would they like a panel of HPC'ers to read the small print for them. We won't charge too much, and we may not even ask for a £700k p.a. pension pot.
(4) Don't even think of asking Lord Myners ...

I have to 'fess I have no idea what that ginger-haired sons quote refers to. Some cultural reference or thread with an in-joke?
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/ind...howtopic=110006
The thread has now been cleaned up, but was completely offline for a day or so whilst cleanup was being carried out. Gingerwinger had started trolling about hippies and tree-huggers, p!ssed everyone off, and then claimed that he'd left his computer on - password enabled, and his kids had gotten in and started posting abuse. Mods intervened, and we now have a clean thread. Ethel and cashinmattress were there and many others. Gingerwinger's kids seemed to have a thang about ginger hair. The thread was probably worth a short mini-chapterette in the 'one-of-these-days-it-may-be-written' book - "HPC - The Early Years"

Busted?
Ginger-haired sons got loose on the PC. (City of London Riots)
Can't link because HPC mod deleted the entire threads, and another thread which referred to it.

The speech has hit 2 million views this evening.
Quite an achievement in lless than 2 weeks.
Good evening, Mr. Hannan. Shouldn't you be in Brussels instead of promoting your speech in chatrooms. BTW, what happened to Mr. Barbera? Does he still do Yogi bear cartoons? And would he mind if I nicked his avatar for a while?

fucking hell
Blimey - that was nifty, SM. I never realised that HTML was THAT powerful !
-
Is everyone in here just a bit dim or what?
His sig doesn't quote 'Realistbear'
it quotes a 'Realist Bear' as in a one time bear who is now realistic.
i.e. himself.
Nope - he quotes from "Realist Bear".
Not the same thing

Are you Rinoa, Columbo, RC or nerd who has hacked Renterbob's account after he posted this the other day?
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/ind...=109839&hl=
and the 90% drops thread on the 20th?
No - but do ask if his sons are embarrassed by ginger hair, or if they hate tree-huggers ...

I repeatedly said last week it would be -1.9%, I was just in bed with the wrong analyst!
One of the nice things about upward 'blips' is that they usually get corrected next month's figs. IG index for the brave.

Maybe he means:-
Gordo is unleashing inflation upon us >>>>> a flight from cash into assets >>>>> a bull market in equities and property - anything not directly and unequivocably tied to sterling.
ergo ... a forthcoming bull market. Maybe not today, but next Tuesday latest.
Tell me if I'm totally wrong renterbob ...
B*gg*r - these threads move so fast, by the time you post, the point you were answering has had its last rites read, been embalmed, laid out in its shroud and the first shovel of dirt thrown on it. Like answering a phone call with a 2 second delay. Oh well - back to the expenses claim forms and the porn ...
-
I'm really not getting this. Renterbob has gone bull yet posts about financial armageddon. Realistbear is alleged to have said the crash is over according to Renterbob's signature.
I knew I should've gone to the pub tonight, I'd be better off dealing with some of this weirdness when drunk.

Do you have big t1ts really
No - he just wants to 'correct' you

Cheapskate !

He is bang on the money with this.
Prepare for financial armageddon in the UK.
"For those of us who have been talking about the U.K. pound losing virtually all of its value ..."
This is really a scary domesday scenario, and I just hope the fk that Keiser's completely wrong.
I didn't sign onto HPC to see the end of the world unfold. Like a lot of other HPC'ers, I just wanted house prices to come down to a less stupid level - not this kind of outcome. These kinds of "The End is Nigh" predictions are scary, and I pray that they all turn out to be so much hot air. Mind you, they probably said similar prayers in the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe too.

1976, Sterling crisis, 2.3 billion pound bail out of the UK by the IMF, the largest loan the IMF had ever made up to that point.
FTSE-100's fall from grace in the last 2 years is much less severe, so far, than the 1975 stock market crash which PRECEDED the 1976 sterling crisis. I remember it well (yes - my clubbing days are done
), and the feeling in the markets ate the time was 100% doomsday / end-of-the-world - just as much if not more than current sentiment.Talk about bear porn - every headline was bear porn.
http://www.affinity-consulting.com/Graphs/...5-Log-scale.pdf
FTSE-30 (now largely superseded by FTSE-100) dropped from 540 to 159 It lost 70.1%
In today's terms, FTSE dropping from a peak of 6730 to ... er ... 1981.
Anyone out there waiting for the first golden cross of spring ?
-
Will accept 1940 was bad - and we're not facing nightly bombings, but 1976? I just remember a long hot summer - how bad was that?
FTSE collapsed to a much greater extent than we have yet (so far). hang on - I'll go and get some data to prove it.
-
Yes but how much is owed to the UK?
It's a valid question. How much of this is due to bi-directional trades of one sort or another because of London's eminence in the financial markets?
And how come Moodys haven't downgraded UK to AA+ neg yet? Spain, Portugal and Ireland have been downgraded. Have Moody's missed something blindingly obvious?
Maybe we are f****d, but I suspect these figures don't tell the whole story ?

The dozy bint still hasn't noticed...
It's 4.30pm, and still up there. Maybe she's too busy what with the Easter dead cat bounce and all that ...

The PIF gives grounds for redress because it is incorporated into the contract negotiations. It is simple to fix your objection. Buyer's solicitor requests/gets HIP as part of the contract negotiations, which gives the PIQ the same status as the PIF.
Hmm ... Ok - seems obvious enough. But strangely, I don't remember my solicitor doing that 3 months ago when we were buying - unless he automatically incorporated the data without even mentioning it as a 'given' ...
I'll ask my solr. next time I have £35 I don't need
-
Nope that was my understanding since they came out from reading various news stories and discussions so I apologize if I am wrong.
The thing is, at the moment, with a P.I.F., any false info would def. give grounds for legal redress. But if the current P.I.F is replacved by a H.I.P. based P.I.Q, then if any porkies are treated in the same vein as the small print at ther foot of every EA's particulars (eg: "the descriptions contained herein are used in good faith as an opinion and not by way of a statement or fact and may in fact be complete porkies for which we will definitely not be held responsible".
And that would be a pretty severe downgrading of the current right to redress, if true. Shurely not !
