Ok MR and you are da po po. 😉
Biff and Muffy;
I think Aussie has a point. You have to define “the spread” before teams can be chosen up. If the over-under line is a 20% decline in Brownstone Brooklyn’s average selling price, then put me on Sebb’s team.
Point, whiners.
Great so now that we have teams here are the rules:
Anyone on a team is obviously there because their strongly held beliefs are so well known that none of the rest of us really want to hear it anymore.
So if you are on a team and see something that you think underlines your point don’t post anything except “One for bulls” or “Point, bears”.
That way the rest of us can avoid your postings all together and people with interesting, new, or relevant information won’t get crowded out.
What a relief that will be.
No, SnarkSlope – was thinking you were a bear, hence on my team…
Who pays $925/sq ft in BellTel? Seems high for the building/area.
“Hmmm, I’m not sure if SnarkSlope, Aussie and i disagree are bulls.”
I might fling a lot of bull, but I don’t count myself as one.
G’day Biff + Muffy. If a Bull is a person who doesn’t think that 40% (average) declines are coming then put me on Sebbs team. Just to be clear that dosen’t mean Muffy wont be able to buy, at a 40% discount to original list price, a distressed home from some poor bugger going under. I’m talking about, as I think most people are, a 40% average price drop peak to valley.
Anyway I will be the Brownstoner Asian conection from next week. I’ll be keeping a keen eye for the next couple of years from there.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Hmmm, I’m not sure if SnarkSlope, Aussie and i disagree are bulls. The bulls are getting harder to find. Maybe DIBS? benson? sam? I’m reaching here…
It might turn out to be 5-on-1 after all!
