TwentyOneEleven Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 World economy hits the high street ... wallets could feel the pressure ... MK suggests house prices and economic markets here might be affected by goings-on abroad ... when Merv speaks you should listen ... interest rates may have been too low in recent years ... cheap borrowing = high house prices ... higher interest rates = more expensive borrowing = lower house prices ... we've had the good half of the football game, now we're in for the rubbish second half (lol!) The message is coming through the mainstream media much more quickly now ... Joe Public you have been warned!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unexpected Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Same as the Mervyn King speech reported on BBC News 24 earlier? Will find out in a few minutes... LOL Excellent! "The UK economy is still in good shape but things are not so good in the rest of the world so interest rates will have to go up". Unfortunately some poorely informed people will probably try to blame Gordon Brown and the Bank of England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzMosiz Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Who dares go into an EA and make a point of offering really low based on what the BBC said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Darker Law Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I caught this report and I'm afraid it's another HPC first. Many have said on here that they'd finally start to condition us for higher rates. Then they'd blame it all on "global issues". That was the exact gist of the BBC story. Another pat on the back for HPC! NDL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmer Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 As ever I think we can assume the Gordon Brown blame apportionment method will work. If it works - "Due to my prudent management of the economy" If it doesn't - "Due to global pressures beyind my control" Let's watch him do the wiggle....

Sledgehead Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hilarious how Evan Davis spelt things out so that even a child could understand. Then he alluded to cycles. "It's like a game of two halves. We've had the godd low interest rate half. Now we have to accept the rubbish higher rate half." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two year gilts are already yielding ~5% and interst rate futures are also reflecting tougher times. There are a huge number of short positions in market sboth in th eUK and the US. Yes some BTL diversifiers may well sell into this, but what is needed is a loss of confidence in PROPERTY. That may only happen when higher rates are a de facto, on the ground reality. Share price weakness in the meantime will only make property bulls more smug about the wiseness of their "safe as houses" investments: ie be careful what you wish for. Most folks here would be disappointed with real-falls. They want nominal-falls. It would be a shame if we only saw real-falls due to people propping up their BTL portfolios by selling equities.

I'm having a week of annual leave this week and had the delight to watch day time TV house renovation trash... it really seems like everyone is into this property thing at the moment. I guess the thing is that developing property is like free money, i.e. the bank finances it for you on cheap IO mortgages, whereas for equities, you actually need something to buy them with in the first place. It's all good so long as there is captal appreciation, but when that stops it doesn't look so attractive anymore. Just how many Beeney shows have there been where BTL'ers / property developers have spent too much, only to be saved by capital appreciation. I believe that when these shows actually start showing people loosing money, then that's when we know the market has really turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Are you guys lying to me here? Did this really happen? You bunch of bug gers better not be lying. I'm off to watch the telly in a bit.

I also think that most of these folk wont have anything in equities. In my limited experience the not-so-greta British publich remain extremely suspicious of stocks whereas they still mainatin that property never goes down. The only people I knoe with stock investments either work in the money markets or were introduced to them through their fathers (who had experiences of the markets themselves). Very few people.
