The CM7 is actually protecting the values of ALL Singaporean assets.

Actually, I do not wish to say one, but now I decided to say as there are very obvious evil presence jealous of our asset values in this forum out to demoralise the Singapore property owners!

YOU NEED only single POST-CM7 foreigner transaction this month and the fate of our GREAT RICHES will be sealed ! Yes, ONLY ONE.

How so?

This will mean foreigners are willing to pay more than 20% above local Singaporean buyer for our property here. Once the first foreigner buys, many shall follow. As they will have NO CHOICE come MARCH 2013.

bro, different opinion doesn't mean evil, people do differ in opinions from time to time.

The last round ABSD had this effect on foreigner:
"foreigners who were not Singapore PRs accounted for just 6.2 per cent of the 23,312 caveats lodged for private homes excluding executive condos in the first nine months (2012) - down from their 17.5 per cent share in full-year 2011."

So why are we still talking about foreigners flocking into Singapore? There was perhaps a little increase of the percentage in 4Q2012, but with the new ABSD, the percentage of foreign buyers is going to stay low for a considerable amount of time...

there is a difference between being socially awkward and presenting a different opinion on a discussion topic.. and again to over-analyse a particular topic whilst potraying a distorted extreme view again is not something that is particularly constructive to a discussion..

hence i have decided to boycott certain threads as well, for fear of giving a wrong impression to the general masses. lol..

BUT here again is sifu BJ21, thank you so much for the update on Shanghai situation.. really terrible to see the blanketing smog over the cityscape..

If I were living there and have the means to migrate, i'll definitely do it without a second tot.. business can still be run out of the country but my health and safety is still the utmost priority!!

Gahment has already said it quite clearly this time round - don't mess around with the property prices or we'll step in again.

The things for certain after this CM:

1) Vol will drop

2) When vol drops, prices almost always will fall based on historical trends. There will always be people looking to sell, esp when interest rates rise. When they can't find buyers, they'll dump at a lower price. The cycle continues.

3) If foreign buying interest continues, and I'm not disputing that, we might see another round of CM targeting that segment. This gahment won't allow foreign buyers to make the prices runaway.

My 2 cents.

Why I say this is because the first post CM7 purchase will be the affirmation of the value of our Singaporean asset. Thereafter, more and more will follow suit as they realised, just like buying branded goods, you have to PAY A PREMIUM.

Very good sharing by brother indomie.

Did you realise SINGAPORE is the only Asian country that stood amongst the Western nations?

What does this tell you when USA decides to re-absorb all US currency in March 2013 ? What do you think will happen, for example to RMB?

Many of us here admire the West: Freedom, Free Market...and what have you.

But the West forgotten what their forefathers set out to do. The situation there is the exact reverse of what their great great grandfathers intended.

Let me explain: Freedom is just an illusion in the West: You tell me, carrying a gun to sleep to protect yourself is freedom?

Free Market in the West is also an illusion: Free indeed, free for the powerful to setup barriers of entry for equal competition.

Of course there are still many good things we can learn from them. We can learn from their mistakes as we are lucky to have someone making the mistakes before us.

The human ideology cannot be too right or too left. A balance in the middle has to be struck. And here in Singapore, we can work towards finding this right balance together as One People, One Nation, One Singapore.

Let us not forget our very own Singapore Pledge.

OUR VERY OWN SWISS in the YEAR OF THE DOUBLE HEADED SERPENT 2013.

I saw a Swan black in color landed on the lake.

On the opposite of the lake, throngs and throngs of golden heads and some black heads scurrying to swim across the lake.

A Mighty Lion stood guard before the City Gate, watching the crowd converging.

The first few climbed out of the lake, carrying bags and bags of gold ingots .

They stood before the Lion,pleading the Mighty Lion to let them enter the City.

On the first strike of the Gong, 32 taels of gold ingots equal 100 Lion coins.

On the second strike of the Gong, 64 taels of gold ingots equal 100 Lion coins.

On the third strike of the Gong, 128 taels of gold ingots equal to 100 Lion coins.

One of the late river crossers exclaimed, " Of what use is my gold? When I can't even enjoy it outside the Lion City?!! "

With that, the Black Swan flew over the man and snatched him away.[/I]

Hahaha.. To be frank.. Singapore property is not really attractive for investment... They can get 3% interest with FD and 5% return for captial gurantee investment. And those r only short term investment rate like 3 month. If u can place longer, higher interest rate will be offer. In the last few years, our property is still cheaper than cities like Shanghai and Beijing. That is why when china have the cm that totally retricted people from buying. Singapore is the place they come. But now our price have go above shanghai and beijing so logically they are looking at other place like USA or third line cities in china where the CM is not so strict. The above are just what I see. And also china investor are smart and is constant looking for worthy investment... And from what I gather from them, our property is not longer worthy for investment. That answer the drop in them buying property in Sg

RECESSION? FISCAL CLIFF ? ECONOMIC COLLAPSE ? ......

SO ?

I recalled back during 1978-1997 in my grandmother's jewellery factory (RICHER THAN HOUR GLASS) , the same shouting had been going on for donkey years by our business friends. They shouted in 1978 until in 1990 when we finally bought our own buildings.

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s297/blackjack21trader/Copyof14220003_zps62890b78.jpg


After we bought our buildings, the prices continue to climb and climb until in 1997, when interest rates edged up to 9%. Property prices dropped indeed, but never to the prices we paid.

Drop in Singapore property can only come when interest rates reach 12% or above. But interest rate at the moment is:IN American JAIL la.

BTW, brothers here can recall how many recessions between 1978-1997? I was too young to remember. :P


1978, Uncle Larry, our business friend to my uncle:

" wah...property prices drop liao hor? next year will be worse."

1985 Uncle Larry: " wah..recession hor, property markets cham liao lor."

1990 Grandma bought our first Freehold 7 storey Industrial Building for S$7million.

1992 Uncle Larry:" wah recession hor, property drop liao lor ."
Bank valued the Industrial building at S$12million. We bought our second Office Building in Orchard for S$20million.

1994 Uncle Larry:" wah...property price drop liao hor."
industrial Building: S$18million
Office Building : S$25million

1996 Uncle Larry: " wah...si liao hor...recession coming ."
Industrial Building: S$22million
Office Building S$50million

1997 Uncle Larry:" FINANCIAL CRISIS LAI LIAO LOR...SI LIAO ARH ! PROPERTY CRASH BIG TIME."
Both valuation stagnant

2011 Uncle Larry passed away.
Industrial Building: S$140million
Office Building: S$225million

HE DIED ALREADY MY GRANDMA STILL HAVEN'T DIE ARH WOAHAHAHAHAHA

I haven't even start to tell you about our Hong Kong properties.

When my flithy rich family were buying properties, half of the developers probably did not exist !

and of course, our long term property holding strategy does not work in all economies. Only economies with the following trait will enjoy the unstoppable rise in asset appreciation:

1) GOOD GOVERNANCE ( Well managed economy by government ) that ensure continual city and urban redevelopment and advancement.

2) PROPERTIES ARE BOUGHT by a Fully employment population ( In US recent crash, the property crash resulted from properties bought by many unemployed or low income population )

3) TINY ( AS reminded by brother3C)

even with a major recession. i doubt Singapore property will drop. maybe no price increase or just drop a little. the demographic of the current buyers just show that they are not uneducated and ill informed like last time.

last time, there were just one segment ( indonesian and singaporean) of the population in the market. now, there are many segments ( prcs, indians, etc ) of the population staking in property here now.


to crash the market. u need to increase interest rates to 12 % which i doubt anyone dare to do it, since big brother already warned the rest of the world liao. those rebellious ones all kena sued one by one u can see not?


interest rate will only go up when liquidity in the system subsided. or when usa makan back all her us$. at present moment, she will not risk that for the middle class. because that will cause a major inflation in the US and destabilises the forex. i bet on the brother with the biggest gun.


brothers and sisters here noticed something? That when USA prints, nobody dare not to print especially Japan. This is to make up for the exchange rates difference and to stabilise domestic currency and interest rates. There are however, a few exceptional economies, for example, that will not print:

1) Singapore
2) Hong Kong
3) China ( China is being watched by USA, so she cannot any-o-how print)
4) Germany
5) Swiss
6) England
7) European Union

brothers and sisters know why? Well, the answer is simple. The first 5 economies have low unemployment rates EXCEPT for item (7).

if an economy has high unemployment rates, and you do not print, it will mean prices will go up. This includes social welfare costs will also go up. And see what happened to Greece when it is pegged to Euro?Of course it is no fault of Greece since her currency is Euro and not under her control.


And if you dun print, what happens?

So clever: ANS: INFLATION.


And if you have high unemployment and still dun print what happens?

So clever again !

ANS: GREECE.


And if you print and print like USA, what happens?

ANS: You will need to take care of the REVENUE side which is either:

a) Do away with welfare and risk rebellions.

b) Tax the rich and make Skywalker happy.


And that is exactly what Obama is trying to do now, to take care of the REVENUE side and you know what is so unique about Singapore CCR properties, OCR Condos or HDBs in all districts (except I explained before, ONLY LANDED WILL DROP)that I am so confident that prices will not drop?

HINT: No, nothing to do with inflation, safe haven or strong GDP. something else, so obvious that even the professors,analysts,bankers, stock brokers,property developers, world leaders and phds in economics CAN miss it when it is staring right in their faces.

I will share with you this in this forum later :)

How so?

This will mean foreigners are willing to pay more than 20% above local Singaporean buyer for our property here. Once the first foreigner buys, many shall follow. As they will have NO CHOICE come MARCH 2013.

Volume will sure drop but prices will not drop..... Coz interest rates low, full employment, no crisis... If you sell what are you gonna do with your money? Put in bank deposit? Or the bond bubble waiting to be burst?

Property prices don't drop because of Hugh interest rates.... They drop because of crisis and unemployment.... If neither of the two happens, where is the push factor for people to sell?

China alone produces more than 10 million graduates a year. After they graduate, they tend to look for greener pastures elsewhere. Those that are good at ang moh will go europe and US, those who want to feel more at home but be out of China will consider singapore. Indian foreigner also like to live in singapore, don't ask me why, reason is obvious. We are already in the phase of transformation into a vibrant global city, all these CMs are preparation work before the huge influx of foreigners. Govt will slowly ease the measures depending on the need for future housing by these foreigners and the government will not be easing the measures for us, singaporeans can tan gu gu. Foreigner's status almost becoming on par with singaporeans, sad but true...


bro, different opinion doesn't mean evil, people do differ in opinions from time to time.

The last round ABSD had this effect on foreigner:
"foreigners who were not Singapore PRs accounted for just 6.2 per cent of the 23,312 caveats lodged for private homes excluding executive condos in the first nine months (2012) - down from their 17.5 per cent share in full-year 2011."

So why are we still talking about foreigners flocking into Singapore? There was perhaps a little increase of the percentage in 4Q2012, but with the new ABSD, the percentage of foreign buyers is going to stay low for a considerable amount of time...

i saw many posts that says volume precedes price movements.

This is certainly true.

But you all forgot TWO THINGS :

One is volume is NOT dropping, again, if you are hardworking and visiting showflats, you know that volume has not decreased. In fact, sadly, buying interest has increased. Many read CMs as government way of helping them buy a PC. And knowing Singaporeans, if got advantage, quickly take! Go visit some showflats in Punggol/Sengkang/Tampines, you will know how many people in their twenties/early thirties cheonging now - coz they scared one more CM and they are forced out of the market.

Second, volume precedes price movements is more elastic on the way up and more inelastic on the way down. Dont complain, life is not fair one. The reason and theory behind price inelasticity, I shant explain here to insult all the smarties. I believe if an Office Boy can understand, many ,many sure understand.

Volume will sure drop but prices will not drop..... Coz interest rates low, full employment, no crisis... If you sell what are you gonna do with your money? Put in bank deposit? Or the bond bubble waiting to be burst?

Property prices don't drop because of Hugh interest rates.... They drop because of crisis and unemployment.... If neither of the two happens, where is the push factor for people to sell?
this year is the year of structure unemployment. With the tough stance of less FT , they are shifting people away but the headcount is park under SG.

Can share with us the reason behind "this year is year of structural unemployment" this statement ? Are you seeing retrenchments coming in some sectors ? My Office and offices of other friends are employing quite big time, even give staff incentives if we intro new people into the company.

This is a true story. A story that I saw it with my very own eyes when I was 6 years old and live to recount it.

You will find my story very relevant to property investment at the end of it as it details how my family became very rich under the governance of grandfather Lee Kuan Yew.

Of course we are not related by blood in any way to this great man. But his policies and strong will to bring stability to Singapore had given my family the opportunity to enter the elite circle.

It was 1974. My grandfather was a bunker boat business man and my father was working in the then Malayan Bank. We stayed in the then Beach Road 2 room HDB.

I just came back from Kindergarten and was eating in the kitchen. Suddenly, I heard my aunt screaming at the kitchen window. I rushed to the window and saw a group of gangsters surrounded my father who had just returned from work early that day.

My aunt and me was on the seventh floor. But we can see clearly my father on the street below surrounded by a group of gangsters. Then, I saw my father fell on the road in the middle of the group of gangsters.

One, Two, Three...... Fourteen. I counted, 14 stabs in all rained on my father's body who by the last stab, had already fallen onto the ground. My eyes were already filled with tears and what I saw then was a bloody body lying motionless on the road. I had forgotten how to scream. I tried to scream, but no sound emitted from my throat.

My grandfather and my grandmother, who had just returned from their business was at the door, rushed back to the lift lobby. I wanted to follow, but my grandfather locked the gate leaving me and my aunt weeping in the HDB.

(TO BE CONTINUED )

blackjack21trader
23-01-13, 14:19
According to my grandmother, the gangsters attack was the result of some bunker boat parking dispute in Kallang River.

Although my family are Taoist and pray to many gods. I am a Christian by birth and I prayed to GOD. GOD answered my prayers and my father miraculously recovered. But the story did not end here.

My grandparents and my third uncle then decided to move the business away from Kallang River and started a small jewelry shop in Victoria Street.

By now, it was 1976 and my family received many threats from the gangsters. It was then still a very unstable place for doing business in Singapore. I can tell that doing business then in Singapore was a mammoth task. However, we can see the police was trying very hard to overcome these evil forces in the country. There were many raids by the police into the gangsters dens.

Slowly but surely, under the strong willed of grandfather Lee, a very stable and safe business environment was created in Singapore. By 1979, there were few gangster threats or fights save for a few nuisance disturbances. It has become a land full of future and opportunity. A land of gold indeed.

Singapore property in 1979 was so cheap. Cheap because it was still on the verge of transformation. Urban redevelopment was just about taking off in Singapore, and I could see the then OCBC building was still sparkling new.

We like to joke that the OCBC building looked like a giant calculator whenever my grandfather took me for a walk from Victoria Street to Boat Quay.

My grandfather told me on one occasion, and I can still remember vividly that he has great confidence in grandfather Lee and told me when I grow up to squat a place in Orchard Road or the Singapore River.

I was still very young then, and could not really understand what he meant.

But now, many years after his passing, I realise the true meaning behind his words.

23-01-13, 14:54
Singapore property in 1979 was dirt cheap because few were like my grandfather, who can visualise the future Singapore taking place then.

Many of my friends now complained to me, Singapore so expensive, property so expensive, this and that. But they all did not realise one single important point.

I believe the 1976 misfortune of my father is still re-enacting in many parts of the World now. For sins is part of human nature. Without the first vital social stability of a nation, there can be NO asset appreciation. And some of my friends wondered why in their foreign property investment, they never did quite gain lucrative returns.

The second attribute is Urban Revitalisation/Redevelopment. Without the resources of a strong and responsible government , one can NOT expect also any returns in their property investment.

Whether property asset can appreciate within a country is therefore greatly dependent on the style of government, the leadership and the will of the policy makers.

Our World is now a very much complicated place. It is a globalised one.

Just like what my grandfather told me on the walk to Boat Quay. I am telling my children the same , watch:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TUMxDhEZB4

In PM Lee Hsien Loong, I see the same man my grandfather saw, albeit PM Lee is a modern version of grandfather Lee.

I told my children in my car while driving to Gardens By the Bay ( See above youtube ), to squat any buildings in Marina Bays when they grow up and have the means.

I now see what my grandfather's very eyes saw, the same man transforming Singapore and taking her to the next level.

Lest not forget, there exist an UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE BANKS AND REAL ESTATE.

You can see this happening all over the advanced economies of the World. Few managed to tame it, but many have failed like in the West. The bankers had become banksters.:doh:

It is a balance. Too tight you break it, too slack and you will let all hell broke loose.

But you know why I have no fear about this regarding Singapore property?

We have a President TONY TAN who was a practical banker. Not just any banker, but a banker that have actually been in the seat together during the first transformation of Singapore property. :)

Now, do you see all the puzzles started to fit in now?

The horror of seeing my father's misfortune in 1974 must have somehow rearranged the chemistry in my brain.

For the most part of my childhood, I was inflicted with many episodes of brain seizures. The doctors could never quite identify what was wrong with me. It could also be then medical services was not very ample or rather, adequate in Singapore back in the 70s-80s.

Then, one day, I began to notice something special about myself. I developed the ability to discern the "thoughts" of others. Not really as reading the minds of strangers, but rather, the ability to tell the "righteous" or "evil" energy of a human being. I began to discover the greater World out there, and believe this is GOD's gift to me.

You may be wondering, what has this got to do with property investment. Well. read on :)

Gradually as I grow up to adulthood, my close friends began to notice this ability in me. One by one, they were so horrified of my ability that they started to shun me. I mean, who wants to be read like a book ? LOL

Because my family are Taoists and they were against me from mixing with the Christians, I had to secretly attend church gatherings without the knowledge of anyone, even my very close friends. The church goers have also no idea who I was the strange kid that appeared in the midst of prayers and disappeared before the end of it. Needless to say, I was beginning to attract attention. And that was the last thing I wanted.

Then when I was in Victoria Junior College, met this uncle at the church. Well, he and his wife actually waited for me before one of the church sessions ended. He is a very patient man, for he actually watched every of my strange behaviors for more than 3 years before he approached me.

As I can discern a person's energy, I knew this couple are good people.

I never knew who they were or what they do for a living until one day, his children invited me to their Christmas party......

Nobody in my family ever celebrate my birthdays for me. My parents had become compulsive gamblers ever since finding their new found riches after my grandparent's business took off as a result of a vibrant tourist industry.

A tourism plan and strategy carefully crafted out and successfully implemented by grandfather Lee. And my grandparent's business took off as a result of massive influx of tourists during the 1980s, we became very rich. Very very rich indeed.

My uncles and aunties were all very busy with the business, and nobody noticed that I have found a new family outside my own blood family. LOL

My first birthday was celebrated in the church uncle's family when I was 17 years old. And as if like magic, this uncle revealed to me that he has this same "mind reading" ability as me. But he told me that it is a TEST from GOD to see how I am able to use it wisely. At least that was what he believes in and I have to respect his point of view.

Many called him having the "MIDAS TOUCH", as anything that he invests in seemed to turn into gold. Especially in real estate. Even property facing a rubbish dump can also turned into gold !

I was amazed.

On the other hand, I have seen many ideal systems of government fail............

But the societies did not have the leaders who could work those institutions... The leaders who inherited these constitutions were not equal to the job, and their countries failed, and their system collapsed in riots, in coupe, and in revolution."

And allow your handsome brother to add. Let's look at the chart together again :

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s297/blackjack21trader/3rdeye-Index_zps514d5407.jpg

The red zones are the falls while the green ones are the rises.

In between we have a period of slow growth in prices which I used blue color to denote.

Now, did you realise the rise can be as long as 10 long solid years ? e.g 1987-1997. For the cooling period or slow rise years after a spurt, it can also be as long as 6 years. (e.g 1975-1980; 2001-2006 )

However, do you know why the graph behaves as it does?

Of course, we have to be careful to base the prediction of the future on the past. However, there are significant economic events and policies happening in these periods/zones causing the chart to behave like it did.

This, I shall explain after I complete my story this weekend.

Meanwhile, feel free to share your views as you may be able to point out any flaws in my analysis.

Good Luck.

"Americans believe their ideas are universal- the supremacy of the individual and free, unfettered expression. But, they are not- never were. In fact, American society was so successful for so long not because of these ideas and principles, but because of a certain geopolitical good fortune, an abundance of resources and immigrant energy, a generous flow of capital and technology from Europe, and two wide oceans that kept conflicts of the world away from American shores.

Brudder bj, let me contribute just a small portion. You have articulated this chart very well..... Let me share with you what I see as the major event for all the drops and what I have been trying to share with all.

1981 - US stock market crash

1983 - Major Recession followed by Pan El

1996 - the "worst"property curb followed by 1997 Asian Crisis

2001 - Dot-com bust followed by SARs

2008 - Leman bro

If you look at 2008, it was the shortest because recovery FROM RECESSION was the "FASTEST".

Name me a drop when there was no recession????

So drop in property prices will definitely happen when
1. recession is sharp and long or
2. if the curbs are too much like in 1996 when it dropped before the Asian Financial Crisis.

So, watch out for recession or very "MAJOR" property curb.

Now, can anyone tell me the fixed deposit rate and the housing interest rate in 1995????? Now, tell me if you saw prices dipping in 1994 or 1995.

Hahahahahahaha

Well from a technical analysis point of view.. You have a point there. Induce small correction and cause future price increase to be more stable.. From the graph I see right before crash the increase in price was too steep in a short period of time.. This give rise to higher probability of crash as price was stretched up too far too fast.

So from the example that sifu showed, the first crash in 1983 was small crash as mkt has started to cool off before crash comes.. Then after that come long period of good growth.

On the other hand in 96 and 07 when price increase too fast, decline also becomes very fast and 'very steep crash' happens!!

So maybe to prevent this from happening, CM7 introduced to temper the quick growth and prepare our mkt for a long period of good growth!!

Hi Ricade

Yes I concur with your Technical analysis

Price stretched too fast up...impulsive.

Usually when a resistance is broken..px or index tends to "throw back" or come down to test the resistance turned support before resuming upwards.
In this case it is around the 180 marks which was broken sometime in Q2 2010.

In worst scenario 1996/1997
the "throw back" broke the resistance turned support (140 mark) and went down to test the 2nd support which is in Q1 1999 at the 100 mark and slowly recovered all the way to 2008.

So in each of the last 3 Phases of recovery, there is a "throw back"

This time is no exception ?

Time will tell :)

I think the answer is obvious right ?

Singaporeans (generally) are brought up in the KS manner.

People still know that without the ruling party, we wont be where we are today.
However, people also know that if left unchecked, ruling party is left uncontrolled and may implement anything they want.

We want the system, we also want the checks to be strenghten.

Ask most Sg people if they can envision WP being ruling, and the answer is --> not in the near future (ie 10 years). But whether support for them will increase, answer is Yes!

suffice to say the general sentiment would be (a wild guess) of stabilising or slightly lower downwards trend for the next 10 years. Not a crash mind you. Coupled with higher interest rates with the recovery of the US economy and potentially still high foreign investors as the rich gets richer in China etc

You have been trying too hard to talk up the property prices, are you so afraid of price declining? Even weak statements like "bonuses around the corner" can be used as an argument. I can find people with loads of bonuses every year, this doesn't make much sense, in my humble opinion. And talking about population white paper without talking about pace of increment against upcoming supply is also quite misleading.

I doubt the govt is going to allow property prices to go up in 2013 or up till the next election. After the PE by-election, CM 8 should be around the corner not to suppress rising prices but to make sure they decline a bit and remain there until they have presented their report card at the next elections.

I say this because I visit many showflats and see what is happening.
How the regular folks who may not know as much about property as some people here.

They get their bonus, got money to place a down payment for a car or condo, they just go ahead and grab it!

Forumers here are experts (me not included) about properties, but when you go to the showflats or visit some resale units, you will know that people who are buying, the first timers, second propertiers, etc are just layman whose situation is simple and not much choices.

They cant do derivatives, hedging, buy overseas properties (because totally dont know).

So I state again - getting bonus, then go and buy a condo is a common happening in the showflats.

Higher population number will increase our property prices because with the demand stated upfront, the government will then calibrate the supply factor - this is a formula for stable price increases, unless there are external factors like Lehman Brothers collapse.

Again - I HATE people who always trying to provoke personal comments (eg "afraid of price declines", "desperate", etc). But I wont counter such statement anymore. I stick to my principle of stating Observations, Facts, and figures.

For investors who are buying their 2nd or third property, bonuses may not even cover the absd. If their bonuses is that much, they should be financially savvy to look for other avenues.

So in my opinion, bonuses more likely to be directed into luxury goods, cars and stock market.

I dont think we are "save the cheerleader - save the world" group la!

We here to state facts, share observations and analyse figures.

Some examples for you :

Share observations - there are only so much time each of us have, so if we visit showflats, get invited to investors preview, etc. we can share such observations and information here so that we can learn more than by ourselves.

State facts - If we see stack 1 of a condo got a hidden advantage, we share it here so that those who are buying get to benefit from it.

Analyse figures - when the goverment announces the 6.9 million population, we share our analysis of the impact of that on the property market objectively. If we think that at the current speed we are building, we will have a shortfall, we share with others to make informed decision.

These are (hopefully) the objective of our time investment in this forum.

Certainly not here to scare people, provoke personal matters (eg, you sell all properties already - then you die, prices will increase 50% by 2015!!!), all these should stop.

just following the PM forums advice to buy physical, since paper cert is just paper. if you read UOB gold certificate, it is stated UNALLOCATED gold, meaning bank can sell as much paper as they want, and you are last in line to get your physical.

so how many months bonus did u get? :D

High 5 digits announced but actual disbursement end march early April. And I agree with the theory that with bonus in bank many will buy property and then work hard for next year payout. We dun have the time to watch shares and do such investments. Spare time after work is to catch up sleep or fill in more billable hours. Buy house pay with what we have then rent out and then continue to start with parents and work harder for eventual partnership appointment and then more pay.

This is not a cool story. This is real and what I see my seniors, colleagues and probably myself doing. Not the best course of action I know and definitely not net the best investment returns. But we are conservative by nature of profession and typically risk adverse and know not the time and knowledge in other safe and yet can withstand test of time investments other than property.

Worse come worst no one rents we can bring GF go house and quickie haha. No cash flow issues with mortgage even if no rental with our monthly well covering it. Property remains the default choice for us to invest thus.

High 5 digits announced but actual disbursement end march early April. And I agree with the theory that with bonus in bank many will buy property and then work hard for next year payout. We dun have the time to watch shares and do such investments. Spare time after work is to catch up sleep or fill in more billable hours. Buy house pay with what we have then rent out and then continue to start with parents and work harder for eventual partnership appointment and then more pay.

Many turn into legal in house after a few years when partnership is not provided for work life balance. Alternatively go offshore firm for a change of environment. In any case root remains in Singapore and a property investment will still be made. While young can work hard then pay off property.

Constant struggle for health inevitable as we sell time to clients so hours are just long. No choice. Makan dinner and lunch at room no choice in return for going home slightly earlier. Other than good bonus nothing much to envy really

To our lawyer friend : Take care. Money is earn not finish one. One has to know where is the enough point. Singaporeans sometimes quite poor thing, we were never thought what is enough by our government because they cannot afford to let u know what is enough.

Just think this way, how much rice can you eat ? How much happiness can a Farrari bring u compared to a normal car, so that you are willing to give up your xx years of life for it ? Office Boy also learnt the hard way, after giving part of my young days for money, decide that my life is more than that, so decide to be Office Boy... hahahaa!

Confirm you can la!
Let me share with you the steps :

1) Determine the amount u need a month - for me $7K is good enough for me.
2) Build a property portfolio to give u 75% (higher or lower its ok) of that (in my case $5K) of that. By this I mean net profit, not gross rental income.
3) Send resume for any Office Boy job which pays for the the remainder amounts you need (in the above example, $1.8K). With your capabilities, I am sure most company willing to pay u this amount one.

Note : Dont all go become Office Boy ok ? Other similar jobs also give u the kind of time and flexibility to go out visit showflats during office hours. They are : Office Admin supervisor, Procurement ka kia, etc etc. I am sure u all can find one.

Good Luck!

I forgot to comment on this one where u say work hard to pay off properties. This formula is not correct, in investment, we use money to pay off money. Office Boy's properties pays itself and my own house off. I dont need spend too much time to "pay". Use other people's money.

uncle office boy, that is when you pocket big big. most of us still need to work hard to fund the investment, which will EVENTUALLY pay for itself but not yet.

on the ppty thing, you have at least 1 ppty at any one time, so tat's a roof over your head. then you can afford to time the mkt. our other fren sold ALL his pptys. now that's risky unless you have like 10m on hand, which no matter what can still buy you a house regardless of where the prices go.

Once u settle the deposit, your properties should bring you $1-3K a month net cashflow. Then in the longer run, it will pay itself and pay for your bills too !

None of my properties are fully paid - I dont believe in fully paying up.
Use the money from this to pay for that and that, so that at the end of it, properties income also pay for your lifetime expenses - cool ?

Yeap this is what I am aiming for as an eventuality.

Start by buying the first one lor...

I assume u already have one, so this one is the second one.
Guess u missed the no ABSD deadline.

Buy one at 50% downpayment, earn some rental income and some cap apprecciation. IN time to come, government will retract on the deposit requirement, then either sell your property and buy TWO to earn rental income.

Once the TWO matures, take profit, sell the TWO and buy FOUR.

Thats how the lowly Office Boy got started with 4-5 years savings from uni times...

haha, i reckon you are older than me, that makes you uncle to me.

but yes, i dun believe in full payment also. of coz, i dun have the luxury to choose yet. but having some loan is good tax planning as well. and allows u to grow your portfolio. my philosophy is no over-leverage nor under-leverage. must balance.

You sell when u find the buy!

Tell u a closely guarded secret by many investors. Took Office Boy years to learn.

There is no perfect time to sell, but there is a near perfect time to buy.
So always base your selling on buying.

What is the point of holding million of cash with nothing to buy ?

With some hard work, it is always possible to buy. Some of my office folks Huat Big Big already in the last 3 years after getting 1-2 tip off from me.

So, work hard, read more, study more floor plans, prices, etc. Soon you will be able to find something that you can tell yourself - "Wah Piangzzz! This one MUST buy, even if need to sell off my (find in your property name), I also MUST BUY!"

Then u know its time to sell!

with reference to your sell 1, buy 2 and sell 2, buy 4 explanation earlier.

or are you referring to sell 1 landed and buy 2 mm?

also with your post much earlier than you are holding cash prior to Lehman, doesnt seem to match with this post, selling based on buying.
at that time, prior to lehman, no properties you like but after lehman, suddenly got properties you like :)

Totally agreed with you! The key here is you must be able to gain from your sale to buy. Let the money roll!

This is a true story. A story that I saw it with my very own eyes when I was 6 years old and live to recount it.

Watch:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhaA9fZgYFc

You will find my story very relevant to property investment at the end of it as it details how my family became very rich under the governance of grandfather Lee Kuan Yew.

Of course we are not related by blood in any way to this great man. But his policies and strong will to bring stability to Singapore had given my family the opportunity to enter the elite circle.

It was 1974. My grandfather was a bunker boat business man and my father was working in the then Malayan Bank. We stayed in the then Beach Road 2 room HDB.

I just came back from Kindergarten and was eating in the kitchen. Suddenly, I heard my aunt screaming at the kitchen window. I rushed to the window and saw a group of gangsters surrounded my father who had just returned from work early that day.

My aunt and me was on the seventh floor. But we can see clearly my father on the street below surrounded by a group of gangsters. Then, I saw my father fell on the road in the middle of the group of gangsters.

One, Two, Three...... Fourteen. I counted, 14 stabs in all rained on my father's body who by the last stab, had already fallen onto the ground. My eyes were already filled with tears and what I saw then was a bloody body lying motionless on the road. I had forgotten how to scream. I tried to scream, but no sound emitted from my throat.

My aunt suddenly remembered me and quickly used her palms to cover my eyes. I could hear her screaming and I cried out in the darkness :” Daddy get up and run, daddy get up and run ! “


My grandfather and my grandmother, who had just returned from their business was at the door, rushed back to the lift lobby. I wanted to follow, but my grandfather locked the gate leaving me and my aunt weeping in the HDB.

According to my grandmother, the gangsters attack was the result of some bunker boat parking dispute in Kallang River.

Although my family are Taoist and pray to many gods. I am a Christian by birth and I prayed to GOD.

As I prayed, I suddenly felt how Mother Mary must have felt watching her son being nailed one nail by one nail on the cross. I closed my eyes and prayed even harder.

GOD answered my prayers and my father miraculously recovered. But the story did not end here.

My grandparents and my third uncle then decided to move the business away from Kallang River and started a small jewelry shop in Victoria Street.

By now, it was 1976 and my family received many threats from the gangsters. It was then still a very unstable place for doing business in Singapore. I can tell that doing business then in Singapore was a mammoth task. However, we can see the police was trying very hard to overcome these evil forces in the country. There were many raids by the police into the gangsters dens.

Slowly but surely, under the strong will of grandfather Lee, a very stable and safe business environment was created in Singapore. By 1979, there were few gangster threats or fights save for a few nuisance disturbances. It has become a land full of future and opportunity. A land of gold indeed.

Singapore property in 1979 was so cheap. Cheap because it was still on the verge of transformation. Urban redevelopment was just about taking off in Singapore, and I could see the then OCBC building was still sparkling new.

We like to joke that the OCBC building looked like a giant calculator whenever my grandfather took me for a walk from Victoria Street to Boat Quay.

My grandfather told me on one occasion, and I can still remember vividly that he has great confidence in grandfather Lee and told me when I grow up to squat a place in Orchard Road or the Singapore River.

I was still very young then, and could not really understand what he meant.

But now, many years after his passing, I realise the true meaning behind his words.

Singapore property in 1979 was dirt cheap because few were like my grandfather, who can visualise the future Singapore taking place then.

Many of my friends now complained to me, Singapore so expensive, property so expensive, this and that. But they all did not realise one single important point.

I believe the 1974 misfortune of my father is still re-enacting in many parts of the World now. For sins is part of human nature. Without the first vital social stability of a nation, there can be NO asset appreciation. And some of my friends wondered why in their foreign property investment, they never did quite gain lucrative returns.

The second attribute is Urban Revitalisation/Redevelopment. Without the resources of a strong and responsible government , one can NOT expect also any returns in their property investment.


Whether property asset can appreciate within a country is therefore greatly dependent on the style of government, the leadership and the will of the policy makers.

Our World is now a very much complicated place. It is a globalised one.

Just like what my grandfather told me on the walk to Boat Quay. I am telling my children the same , watch:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TUMxDhEZB4

In PM Lee Hsien Loong, I see the same man my grandfather saw, albeit PM Lee is a modern version of grandfather Lee.

I told my children in my car while driving to Gardens By the Bay ( See above youtube ), to squat any buildings in Marina Bays when they grow up and have the means.

I now see what my grandfather's very eyes saw, the same man transforming Singapore and taking her to the next level. And I thank GOD for letting me born in the good hands of good leaders.

After the release of my 2013 Celestial Prediction here and in www.sglion.com,
you will realise why after March 2013, Singapore will be an economic safe haven.

Many predicted a crash in 2012, but I predicted a bull run. Now, have not the Dow ran up more than 16% since Jan 2012? Did it not overshot 14,000 ? I can imagine those that miss the boat, how they bang their marbles :(

The choice is up to you. You can take my predictions as a joke, it does not matter anyway.

Goh Chok Tong, our former Prime Minster is right. That we need a gracious society. You know how I got my flu and was down for a week doing nothing?

Well, last weekend I was in the office lift and just before the lift doors close, a very pretty and tall looking like a model lady asked me to wait for her. As she was very very beautiful like the fairy from the Botanic Garden, I obliged.

Then hor..inside the lift, she began to move closer and closer to me. Wahpiangeh...I must be very handsome, I thought , secretly congratulating myself.

Then hor at the 13th level... she moved even closer and I was wondering the lift so empty she felt very cold meh ???

As the lift started to move from 13th floor, she winked at me and slowly took out a tissue paper from her purse infront of my handsome face....My heart was pounding and sweats began to form on my forehead leh......

And she sneezed right inside the lift, sending her virus all over the confined space. The lift door opened and she rushed out before I can scold her la....

Next day I got flu liao la:simmering:

dear good brother, you cannot google it because it is a whole arsenal of property curbs implemented part by part on the Chinese since late 2008 by the Central Government, including some foreign property purchases. There are currently some speculation from reliable sources that the CCP will remove the curbs slowly starting March 2013.

The curb came soon after 2008 stimulus package by the CCP as mentioned here:

http://sg2.mofcom.gov.cn/article/chinanews/200803/20080305447402.shtml

Bloomberg did a writeup on it, if you are interested, you can read here:

And how so? as during WW2, Japanese Military already sold their trust away when they sneak attacked Pearl Harbor. Not only that, later denial of WW2 brutality in history only made Japan a pure strategic concern to the USA, will never be an ally like France or Great Britain.

In contrast, the Russian or the Iranian never did any sneak attack but were openly against the USA. That is why there is still a chance for them to become allies of the USA.

Many signs can be seen by the US refusal of allowing technology transfer of a satellite chip to Japan in their Playstation.

The only friend Japan can make now is China, friend that can help them get out of their economic crisis.

That is why you see my message to the Japanese on my blog written in Japanese .

I think that is the best I could help send the message to them from my THIRD EYE. Whether they can absorb the gist of my message is up to Heaven and not me.

One must understand the Anglican of the USA, or the Pure Whites. Their mentality and character. Yes, they can be a pusher or seen as a cunning fox at times, but they will never do any sneaky strategy during a confrontation.
