just watched an interview with that retard peter schif going on about the economy and gold.
someone put the question to him, "what if the economy recovers"
he wouldnt even accept it as a possible outcome, would not, could not happen. GOLD BITCHES (to qoute the zerohedge masses)
what a idiotic way of thinking, to not even take into account the counter argument. big like yourself attilla
You going to answer the question or not?
What level of price increases will you accept as inflation?
As for GOLD - weren't you the one bitching about it dropping like a brick at $900s???
What is the price of gold now dude?
Your speciality subject is - being retarded. I guess retard represents 50% of your vocabulary... I'll have to start calling you Mr Binary see if you can work it out? :cheesy:

I'm sure there are a number of other asset classes that is likely to return higher % than investing in property.
But most people don't have access or the knowledge to trade these instruments.
Mixed portfolio of assets is best. I'd include stamps and wine in that list too. What ever works. I'd make an exception to modern art though. People tastes are fickle - one never knows...

I want to make my point clear. I think there will be inflation, right or wrong, I am preparing for inflation. I just can't fathom how you are so convinced that house prices and inflation are rigidly linked.

This is my point! 'Sheeple' are brainwashed by Governments and vested interests who want people on the debt treadmill, that houses ought to be bought because they are the best.

i cant answer it as i dont give a toss, i can answer it for America though. and there is 0 inflation in America. and thats all that matters!
yes was wrong on gold, still hold same long term view.
regarding bubbles, when a bubble bursts, prices will go lower than equilibrium before returning to equilibrium.
this can be seen in that house prices chart perfectly.
except you say this wont be the case and prices wont fall anymore?
just because you own 3 council estate flats on 95% mortgages and you WANT/NEED prices to rise, doesn't mean they will.

I'm using layman's approach here.
Historical house prices. We (my parents) almost bought an old Victorian house in Stamford Hill around late 1970s for £40K. This was a massive 3 storey house with a basement flat. We looked at it liked it but said it had too many stairs to be running up and down and mum considered keeping the house tidy and some how we didn't.
It looked like this one here -

I'm not going to work out the % sums... My head hurts. :whistling

House price inflation will only occur if the masses are prepared to pay for assets that are inflating through the supply of cheap money and sufficient leverage to finance the purchase of the asset. Retail banking is not providing cheap money any longer commensurate with the degree of leverage it was applying up until '07. Likewise the ability to release equity from the asset back into the economy has disappeared because the housing market has flat-lined. The conveyer has stopped.
Conversely, a huge amount of money has been pumped into the 'economy'. It's only a matter of time before this works it's way from the balance sheet of the banks into the real economy.
So are we likely to see inflation? Probably due to money supply into the economy. Are we likely to see asset price inflation, specifically property? Unlikely as the public can't get cheap money because of the reduced leverage applied to property purchase. Net result? House prices may remain static as the market stagnates slowly but in real terms, property will devalue as inflation takes hold.
Why you guys are having an argument over RPI vs asset price inflation seems a bit odd.

how are people going to pay for these rising house prices? when consumer credit is contracting at its fastest pace in history?
no one has any money.
no one is lending money.

Yes, this is a possibility. I hold 'only' the view that house prices will maintain value in keeping inline and probably on balance based on passed evidence ahead of inflation.
This is the only point I'm making. I may well be wrong. Point made. Period.
I'm not in denial or hoping. Don't get carried away with the wind-ups.

could there be a resurgence of fascism due to the currentl climate?

Very unlikely.
Mind you, the West as a whole is about due for Gibbon to get his quill out and start mulling over "why?".
Bullsh1t can endure for a long time (ask anyone who has lived under communism) but it comes to an end eventually.
One day things have to make sense, whether we like it or not.
