DOWhat you are crazy! You have a highly overdeveloped sense of your own importance and advocate an unfortunate vendetta against your fellow citizens.
Good things come to those who wait—you make it sound macabre. What will inherit if the economy does what you want it to?
DOW I’m bearish on the market… but I don’t consider myself ‘recruited’ by you. You’re trolling someone else’s blog. Did it ever occur to you to instead create your own place for expression? Isn’t that kind of the lesson of the last ten years – ‘if you build it (and you have good content) they will come?’
Not trying to insult, and not trying to join in the bickering and name-calling. Just saying that there are a lot of success stories about people who made a name for themselves by (easily and at little cost) creating a compelling website. If your message resonates, it would likely be much more effective than trolling the Bstoner comments.
And btw, your message might well resonate. I and others are bearish on the market. Look at the recent Times piece about the guy – I forget his name now, but he’s a doomsayer economist whom everyone thought was crazy five years ago, but whom everyone wants to consult now.
Just saying, your insights are diminished by all the invective around here.
“Experts predicted the crash of 1929 and NASDAQ two years prior. Didn’t matter EXACTLY when they were right.”
– DOWhat
Actually, it does matter. Anyone can say anything they like. I think the DOW will reach 20,000. It won’t be tomorrow but in two years ……
If you honestly think you are part of some growing mass of bears on Brooklyn brownstone prices, you are really full of yourself.
If anything can indicate how painfully off the mark you are, your log-in should tell everyone how wrong you are and how wrong you will be.
“I don’t think you have too much power…”
Not as an individual. But as a constituent and “recruiter” of a growing masses of Brooklyn brownstone home price bears, I can leverage power. That’s how asset bubbles get started – the leverage of mass psychology (euphoria and greed). That’s how they get deflated – the leverage of mass psychology (reality and fear).
bridges – Manhattan apartment prices are down. That speaks volumes about where brownstone Brooklyn prices are headed. Visit nychousingbubble.blogspot.com (they even have a link to brownstoner) for more info. Good things come to those who wait. The price implosion is a process, not an event, and is on no one’s schedule. Experts predicted the crash of 1929 and NASDAQ two years prior. Didn’t matter EXACTLY when they were right. Had some taken heed, they would have saved themselves from a lot of pain (perhaps even held on to some wealth). Why catch a falling knife?
Hi, I am new to the forum. Been reading Brownstoner for a while and now seems as good a time as any to chime in. I’m looking to buy, but waiting until prices fall more into line with salaries. I’m certainly no expert, but it seems to me that all free and ez credit bloated prices so it makes sense to wait until prices return to a mean, no?
Also, I’m curious about Mr. What’s countdown that you tease him about — is it 52 (or 63) days until alt-a resets?
I don’t think you have too much power to “catalyze the inevitable and necessary collapse of Brownstone prices” as a blogger here at Brownstoner. Sounds a bit messianic but thanks for the enunciation of your motives. Your Twat persona rarely if ever gives any glimpse into what drives his twisted rantings. And no, I don’t want to own more than one house. No I couldn’t at current comps and no I wouldn’t if the houses were going for half of what they are now.
“What your motives are, I have no idea.”
When not contributing “more postively” (wainscotting, crown moldings, yada yada), my motive is to help catalyze the inevitable and necessary collapse of brownstone prices so I and and the rest of the middle class can hurry up and afford a brownstone in the confines of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene already. Dump and Pump. “Pathetic” but true.
Don’t you want to buy another brownstone or two? Can you at current comps?
That Ludwig von Mises guy was no joke.
I never said anything about investment. I need a house to live in and I bought one. Pretty simple actually. And if you don’t care that we know you and “DOW” are the same people that makes it easier on everybody else so kudos for the lack of denial. Perhaps you are a reasonable person after all.
