The Finance Thread....

[The Proper Chap]

I'll get the ball rolling:

House prices - With furlough coming to an end very soon what do people think is going to happen to the housing market and house prices. Estate agents keep banging on about how busy they are however is this a mini boom before some kind of bust or will the stamp duty deal which runs through to March 2021 underpin the market ?

Any thoughts ??

Above my pay grade Chap.

What do you think ?

Logic would suggest the market should take a dip post furlough when the $h1t begins to hit the fan with more force.

 

[Alistair20000]

FWIW I tend to agree.

 

[The Proper Chap]

Any other finance professors out there ?

Willy Nilly was a prolific poster on these matters.

Did you bump into him in Burford and get an opinion ?

I believe Willy is locked down overseas.

Paul Tisdale used to consider himself a bit of a financial guru, now he's posting on Exeweb perhaps he will contribute some of his wisdom.

I believe Willy is locked down overseas.

I used to like reading Wilson's reviews of all those different places he had visited.

Sods Law...After closing a couple of accounts & putting the money into NS&I in July they cut their bond rate from 1.15% to 0.01%

MY YBS 2 year bond has matured(1.5%) the new 2 year bond is 0.55% !
Into days climate I imagine that is good.

I’m sure one of you clever financial posters will be able to answer the question.
Is Quantitative easing a good thing or bad for the average taxpayer ?
