Allslop & Spankher Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 summer of 1990, I remember it well, just bought my first house for £43k, then went to Florida for three weeks and was getting nearly $2 to the pound, thought that was great, unfortunately my house was still worth £43k five years later and couldent afford to go on hoilday for a while. I'm sure its just coincidental that these two economic factors, the weak dollar and peak in the housing market are a pure coincidence.. does seem like we've been here before, and guess what most commentators argued that there wouldent be a crash, then and now.

zzg113 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 most commentators argued that there wouldent be a crash, then and now. That's because most commentators are vested interest lapdogs(the media included). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
