Yes, i am in the north west and they say on the news sales are down - as bluekipper says - because of the weather:frown: A lot more houses have come on the market so lets hope it starts the ball rolling:)

Jim Rogers, billionaire investor, is saying the GBP £ could collapse within weeks. :eek:

He denies making such comments...

He has highlighted the growing currency crisis for over a year now though.

Perhaps is already short GBP and wants to see it lower? Who knows but in a few weeks or so we'll finally see.

Did he predict the GFC?

If not then you might as well believe Roy Rogers.

Financial experts, ha!

Well there's plenty going up for sale with reasonable asking prices, whether they achieve that price is another matter! We're going to put ours up in April - when in theory the weather should be better and the garden more presentable;) Where abouts in north west are you bluekipper?

I would be very wary of making predictions at the moment. We are in uncharted territory.

There are a scary number of financial "stress lines" all over the world - including Australia: huge debts by individuals and countries, breakneck printing of money - which is devaluing currencies as we speak, artificially anomalous interest rates which can't continue yet can't be moved for political reasons to name a few.

If it was just one country a dozen economists could probably come up with just eight or nine projections, but I think the whole global economy is so intertwined and fragile that a dozen economists no would come up with thirteen answers - all of which would be wrong.
