These Bulls are being awful cocky. Reminds me of those videos I watched on Youtube where those ultra cocky realtors were outright laughing at the Guy who said the market in unsustainable and will fall. I have to check those out again (priceless). He who laughs last laughs best..

Uhh, I'm still pretty sure it's going to prove accurate, as I said nothing in my prediction is false yet because I didn't predict down to the month what would happen, I said "give or take a year". So stick it where the sun don't shine, sit down and shut up until you have something useful to say. And here's a prediction where I can just throw caution to the wind. You will still be a jerk tomorrow morning and people still won't like you. Maybe that's going out on too much of a limb? Nah.

@Time Machine: As Yogi Berra once famously said..."It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." He also once opined that "it was like deja vu all over again." Here are some other Yogi Berrisms: --"You can observe a lot just by watching." --"If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else." --"The future ain't what it used to be." Something tells me that Yogi is a closet Vancouver housing bear.

You seemed pretty sure of yourself at the time. Use caution before making predictions.

My prediction was that it would be falling again by now, but I didn't expect such strong governmental support and I gave myself a window of time (6 months to a year). Also, timing is next to impossible to accurately predict as I've said many times in the past. So if it's falling by spring/summer next year it's still well within my predicted zone, just outside the point where I could claim 100% accuracy.

I'm not sure if that first link will work properly, I just signed up for the Flikr account just now and don't really know how it works yet. Sorry for the triple post. If the above link doesn't work use this one

"I predicted about a year ago when I first composited those two graphs together..." -Drachen Can you post it again? I would love to see it.
