  1. NINE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX POINTS.
    936.
    BOYAAAAA!

    No not nearly a recovery. But not the Armageddon these assclowns have been wallowing in schaudenfraude over.

    You know who you are.

    As I stated on Thursday or Friday last week:
    “my oh my, looks like the chickenlittles have come home to roost, catch you on the other side.”

    While cellar dwellers were poo pooing in their pants and stroking their monkeys over fear and loathing, some were busy buying Morgan Stanley and other battered beyond recognition financials.
    Thanks for doubling my investment in 2 days.

    That’s all folks.

  2. Sebb – that’s not true, plenty of naysayers discussed the thread about this one Park Slope apt that went over ask (and probably went into contract several months ago, prior to the crisis). I think it’s a waste of of breath (or typing) to try to change your viewpoint, since you seem chronically over-optimistic. I just hope you aren’t making bad decisions based on your optimism – if you are, you will likely suffer.

  3. Sebb – why on earth are you rehashing a thread we already discussed? Again, let’s see what time will tell. You need to look forwards, not backwards.

  4. fsrg : Maybe you guys missed these? or maybe you are taking to much Vicodin . SOUTH SLOPE $850,000

    Despite the meltdown on Wall Street, inventory decreased in Brooklyn last week and prices went up. According to home listing Web site Trulia.com, the average listing price for a Brooklyn home rose 1.4 percent to $701,779, from $691,857, between September 24 and October 1. Listings decreased during that time to 4,625 from 4,725.

  5. Sebb – I’m not the slightest bit bitter. I am poised to buy when I think the moment is right, and am fortunate to be in a position to do so without needing to sell. Why on earth would I be bitter? I don’t deny that some properties may hold up better than others, and I also don’t pretend that I am some kind of oracle that can know exactly what will happen – nor are you. But history, and many experts, seem to be on my side in terms of predictions, whereas your predictions seem to be based on a rather unrealistic optimism. Why don’t we just agree to disagree and keep on posting as we wish, without it turning into personal attacks?
