    No, he was whinging about house prices while others were quietly selling their accumulated loot.
    Maybe he was/is holding a short position and is trying to talk down the market?
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      I was advocating banning shorting before it actually happened - yet another prediction that came true

      No I wasn't shorting - that's bad practice that I don't follow.

          Briefly, as a knee jerk reaction to a crisis that wasn't borne out by the evidence.

          Do you work for the Daily Mail or <<insert other sensationalist newspaper here>> ?

              Didn't he regularly take the moral high ground with the City money men and stock market practises though?

                When the full extent of market manipulation by hedge funds (top short sellers) is understood then you will see much harsher reaction

                    Well if you are an unsuccesful "entrepreneur"/doley in a bedsit in Brum, you need someone to feel superior to.
