Did Bertie make a big blunder?

[colc1]

Has anyone else noticed that since Bertie mentioned that house prices would keep rising that everyone who seems to have a house seems to be for the first time talking negatively abut house prices rising. I suspect (IMHO) that the fact that Bertie felt a need to say this at all means he's worried the rises arent going to continue at the same rate at least. A lot of people on this site seem to be thinking about a house price slow down at least now! The fact that Brian Cowen came out with a very different opinion a day or a few days afterwards makes me doubly suspicious of Bertie's motives!

His comments were code to the Industry to flog as much as they can in the next two years, or else
