And next time you pop me a negative point for a comment I make, have the balls to sign your name. I can look at the time I got it, which correlates exactly to your response, and know you did it. Or better yet, don't pop me a negative point at all or call me a liar again.
Sorry, my bad. I'd be happy to sign my name next time

Cite for your evidence?

Yes, it always pays to get in early on any Ponzi scheme. Ira Fuller (forget exact name?), SS #1, paid in only about $20-30 into Social Security and got tens of thousands in checks from the gubmint. Just like SS won't be there in the next 20-30 years, current homeowners will pay (and already are paying) for the returns the predecessors happily received.

You should be happy. Didn't you note that my comment was since 2004, most millionaires made their money in the stock market at 37%.

I have never said Ponzi Scheme so again, don't put words in my mouth.

Keep on being a baby and giving neg. reps when someone proves you wrong and keep on trolling. As for me, I'm done ever responding to your posts. I hope others take my cue.

Again, there's no cite for your statistics. Just making it up as you go along?

Whether you say it's a Ponzi scheme or not, much of what entails a Ponzi scheme applies to the last 5 years in the housing market.

As for giving neg. reps, I'm very sorry that you're so frustrated at not selling as many houses as you once were and/or that someone else is getting a better deal on a similar house than you did. If taking it out on folks like myself helps, it sure beats other alternatives.

So I'm not the only one that's getting neg reps from him, huh?

I like it when people deflect from the original topic and make up stories or complain about negative reps. We all get them, deal with it.
