Unless, that is, you bought into the FTSE 100 December 30 1999 when it was 6,930.2.
Currently it is 6083.1. That's 850 points less than it was almost eight years ago. Ok it's dropped a few hundred points lately, but IIRC the FTSE 100 has only got within a few hundred points of its all-time (last century) high, and it didn't stay there long.

I thought this was going to be a post from somebody else who has discovered Doom again, thanks to Xbox live.
Could I have been more wrong?

What is my point then? Well if the housing market were to follow the same trend we can look forward to 50% falls, with a near 'recovery' in seven years' time, though house prices won't fully recover their peak value for at least eight or nine years.

I absolutely agree.
As the book says "Don't Panic".
Now that you are all relaxed and understand property is still fantastic value and a brilliant long long long long term investment, anyone want to buy five BTL properties from me. Good price, must sell this week.

see its the buyer's fault panicking and dropping their asking prices unnecessarily when they easily conclude the deal at a much higher price.
That's like Phil Morris saying that smoking is good for your health.

Try to keep stuff on trend.
