my actual predictrions were:
no recession for australia - correct
slight recession in USA - wrong (it was severe)
no crash in our house market - correct
2.5 out of 3 while you were predicting depression in USA, deep recession here and 40% drop in house prices. thats 0 out of 3
It aint over yet, baby......by a looooong shot!
Enter the great recession/depression, it's a comin'
You can't tally the scores until the game's over.
and the game is over when exactly??? and i mean that sincerely. tell me exactly WHEN you consider it appropriate to tally the scores?
We can predict when a recession/depression is on our doorstep, but no one can predict when it will end. If you think that this GFC that we are still very much in will end on a certain day, you shouldn't be talking economics.
Nations will try their own methods along the way, like America, they have had no effect so far, but they'll keep trying with one thing after another, so it could go on for a decade, maybe two, no one knows.
Steve Keen predicted the housing bubble collapse, but he couldn't predict the
government intervention, so the game changes according to austerity/stimulus measures. Government intervention caused the bubble to stay inflated somewhat, but rest assured stimulus will run out, then watch the debt.
America is up to QE forever, so the effects of that has to be taken into account.
One thing for sure, the debt is mounting, the can is being kicked a little further each week and the economy does have a breaking point.
Goodbye growth fairy.
Somehow longloser has a piece of his brain missing which can't comprehend the idea of market manipulation and he purposely completely ignores it in any discussion on house prices as though it had absolutely no affect whatsoever when any real estate guru worth his salt will tell you otherwise !!
1.3 trillion over invested in non productive assets and longloser wants to tell us that prices can only go up !!
