Thanks.

It honestly sucks. For a 4 or 5 year old development, it looks like it was transported from the 1980's. From the carpark entrance to the sickly shade of red on the building. Honestly, it looks like it belongs in Jurong or Yishun or some place like that. It doesn't belong on Robertson Quay. What an eyesore! Anyone paying $1,000 psf for Robertson 100 has to be out of his/her mind, when a brand new unit at the Pier could be had for little more over $1,200 psf.

Just to revive this thread. I'm now considering a 3 room apartment at Robertson 100 and was just wondering what people think of it now. There was a negative comment on the place some time back but any other views would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Some people feel the exterior of this project is not outstanding. Personally i like the interior in terms of room size and the layout. Not much wasted space and no bay window if i remember correctly. If you are buying for your own stay, the most important critieria is you must like the place and feel good about it. :)

There seems to be a lot of units for rent lately. But the asking is still quite high. No softening of the market?

I was on the verge of buying a unit at Robertson 100 over the last 3 weekends.

The first unit, i got played out by the agent. i made an offer to what the seller wanted, the agent kept asking me to hold on and wait for another unit that is coming into the market at a much cheaper price.

The agent took my check but refused to present it to the owner... That unit finally came up. It wasn't cheaper than the unit i was offering for. I bidded and lost, after that, the unit i initially bidded for raise the price!

I basically got snooked!

I like that development, because of the design of the units. nice and squarish. And the bedrooms are actually quite decent size.

However, i found out that a few ERA agents basically cornered the market there, ie, if i had bought a unit there, when i want to sell next time, i will have to go through these agents again. They did what they did to the first owner i wanted to offer to, there is no guarantee that they will turn honest when i want to sell mine.

Rental there in current situation should be $4000 plus / minus...

there are a group of ERA agents that basically go around collecting sales mandate from sellers. And also because they have almost all the sales mandates, buyers would go to them for viewing, since you are likely to be able to view all at one shot and at a convenient time.

I tried using another agent before, the time slot i got was so bad... 15 mins after i walk into the unit, the ERA agent called my agent and told him the unit was sold....

so basically the owners have given 'exclusive' rights to the ERA agents ..

28-05-09, 10:48
ha ha.. they don't guarantee you a better deal, but because they are grouped together, if i am a seller, my unit is more likely to get viewings, if i give them the mandate.

please don't take my word for it... just go to propertyguru, and search under Robertson 100. Use 2 different names, and try to secure viewings... use 1 ERA agent and 1 from some other company...

then you will know what i mean.

Do not sell in all developments and districts!!! :scared-4:

Propertism Rule No. 1 - Properties should only be bought and not sold. Property prices will always go up in the long term simply because paper money will eventually lose all its value. :scared-4:

It doesn't matter what development or district. Never sell your properties!

Properties are meant to be bought and not sold!!!

Since the beginning of time, anyone who has sold properties has ended up in regrets in the long run, even though they may be happy for a short while.

In 1823, the Johor-Riau Sultanate sold Singapore outright to the British for 60,000 Spanish dollars.

That's $0.000008 psf in Spanish dollars!

Yes, very true. One should try to expand one's property portfolio as a hedge against other more risky investment. If not for my property investment that save my day, I would have become a taxi-driver by now due to the collapse of Lehman Brothers. At least now I have only realised loss of 60% in my total investment. It could have been 90% ! Thank You for your reminder again and Thank Myself for taking a bet on Singapore ! :)

19 October 2009

There is one thing certain in our life: DIT ( Death, Inflation and Tax ). Why do I say inflation is certain ? This is due to the time value of money: A dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future. A dollar in the future carries with it the opportunity costs of today. For example, $1 today can be invested to grow whereas this same $1 in future carries with it the costs of this lost opportunity. This is even more true today in our globalised economy, an interconnected Internet, a printing machine in the US, a rising oil price,the emergence of 3 superpowers and a generally appreciating prices of food and resources.

The assets in our world economy are valued in US$. At this moment as I write, China held about 1.4 trillion worth of US$ bonds, Yes, that is 1000x bigger than the GDP of the richest nation ( by per capita income ) Liechtenstein, and half the GDP of Germany ( richest country in gold reserves ). Meanwhile, the US national debt just reached $11,959,182,970,620.81 ( as at 19 October 2009 10:21am Singapore Time) increasing at a rate of $3.93billions a day.( Don't worry, there will not be any doomsday because of this :) This means that the US has been importing more than she exports; or you can say, consuming more than she produces. Somehow, this imbalance has to be equalised in the future.To understand the implication of all these, we have to first take a look at some background information.

The world is no longer the one our fathers or our grandfathers used to know. The US$ is the only currency in the world now that can buy gold and oil. Although it owes China billions of dollars, this debt is valued in US$.Since the 70s, US has been printing the US$. The faster she prints, the higher the inflation rate.This is only common sense- the more supply you have, the lower the value of the item ( In this case,item= US$). So it becomes more expensive to use this item (US$) to exchange for other items (goods). Hence, there will be inflation. Of course, inflation does not take place over night. Some US$ is usually taken off the circulation in its journey around the economies of the world. It takes about 10-15 years to see the full or final effect. As more developing economies are connected to the global ecomomy in our modern era, the effects could be lessened but most certainly will not be eliminated.

Oil prices, for the next 10-20 years should continue to remain high. This is because, while the world has made great advancement in biotechnology and information technology in the last 10 years, little is done in the area of oil drilling and processing technology. This is also one of the reasons why some countries see the need to rely less on oil for energy. Due to the decreasing economies of scale ( the longer and more something is produced, the less returns you get when adding improvement to it ), there is little incentive for oil companies to want to innovate in this area.

23 October 2009

Oil consumption is highest at 20,000,000 bbl a day for USA, followed by China at 8,000,000 bbl a day and Japan at 5,000,000 bbl a day. While consuming at this rate, USA produce 9,000,000 bbl per day, China at 3,000,000 bbl a day and Japan at a mere 120,000 bbl a day. The shortfall between the energy consumption and energy production has to be imported. It is also not by accident that the more you import oil, the more inflation there will be in your country. Even with new oil reserves discovery, it does not take a rocket scientist to soon realise that high oil prices will be a fact all of us have to live with into our foreseeable future.

As a country progresses, it is expected that energy consumption will go up. If so is the case, what will happen when there are now 3 super economies: China, India and Russia, emerging in our world economy? Indeed, prices of oil, food and resources should be expected to rise in general. That is why you see in daily markets news that as expectation of an economic recovery rises, oil prices increase, and the US$ gets weaker and vice versa.

Even with a strong green initiative, you still require oil to build the green factories,solar panels,electric cars, etc etc. You can have an electric car that runs totally on battery power, but you still require oil to produce the materials for the battery and the car . One way or another, oil gets into the supply chain when producing goods including food.

I am glad that properties have protected you from more extensive losses.

Real Estate (and other real investments like gold, antiques and old comic books etc) are the only true investments that have a long term upside potential.

They have infinite lifespan, unlike stocks in companies, which have a lifespan of only several decades.

I can bet that in 50 years, out of these three companies: Microsoft, Google and Yahoo. At least two will disappear.

Since now it is out in the media. Let your humble brother here tell you what is going to happen in the next 5 years to the River Area. There will be massive shortages of hotels in this area.

For the past 5 years, developers had been too focused on building residential properties around the River. With the confirmed success of the 2 IRs now, travelers volume to this city is confirmed going to be explosive.

Where else in Singapore can you get a private condo within a good class hotels area? But then again, some iron teeth will definately come out to bash my logic again and missed the whole bull call again.

This is the best I can help la. :doh:

sorry to ask stupid question once more.
so buy commercial residential properties or private residential properties?
Based on your statements (highlighted) in bold, commercial residential (hotels) are neglected, so growth more likely in hotels.
An alternative is to buy shophouses and convert it to hotels?
So what are you suggesting actually?

Dear brother hopeful,

I worked in an American MNC before, so I know MNCs paid around US$250 a day to hotel operators for their travelling staffs in countries like HK and Singapore. That works out to be 30 days x $250 = US$7500 for the lodging costs of a regional manager. If your property is beside a hotel operator, what do you think the MNC will pay you instead if they cannot find hotel rooms anymore in the area ? US$6000 for rental ? or US$8000 for rental ?

Now, are you shocked?

Sigh....

Dear brother condo kaiser, that is the whole idea. to be residential in a good class hotel area beside a river is like a king among the princes as can be seen from developed cities near rivers around the world. do read my reply above why i think the owners of this area are still sleeping.

furthermore, this is right in the middle between the IR, SMU, Banking District and Orchard-at the heart of the Pandora Disk.

As of yesterday, i heard from a source of mine that a Geylang Sims Suites new unit had transacted at S$1742. you have to verify that, I dunno how true is that. well, if that is true, then that just made the owners here who sold at S$1500 recently dumber.:doh:


your humble brother,

blackjack21trader
06-03-11, 14:22
then, there is the issue of oil prices. high oil prices would make big tour operators want to accomodate their paks in hotels near the IRs. but, look at the number of hotels in CBD, and most CBD buildings near IRs are already occupied by companies and businesses. Orchard is also a satured hotel land.

when uncle sheldon is looking for land, you better watch out. Where to find hotel sites, where ? where ?

but here, of course.

Condo Kaiser
06-03-11, 15:29
Yup, I am a big believer of the potentials of Robertson Quay as well. Its location is simply too good.

I don't think the owners in Orchard are offloading. They are merely picking up more units @ Marina area. I have been hunting in Robertson area for a while now looking for good deals. I believe it is only worth looking at reputable developers, but so far owners are not too keen to lower their asking price, and most are just not selling anymore.

My main targets are The Pier, Rivergate, Martin Place Residences. Wonder if other gurus here has got other projects which are worth looking into?

I am looking at The Pier, Looking to buy it next downcycle. Rental psf among the highest so far in URA quarterly rental data. So if price drop to 1500psf.... :D friendly competition between you and me.
Why are you looking at Martin Place Residences? Seems to be neither here nor there.
Not near Great World City, not near River, not near MRT. Bus stop also far away.
of the 3 that you mentioned, MPR seems to have the least potential - with buddhist lodge next to it.

Condo Kaiser
06-03-11, 21:38
Ya The Pier is the the best of the lot now but also the most ex. (Dont compare with Rivergate high floor). 1500 psf hard la, if 1500 psf then really is down down down turn liao... :spliff:

MPR is quite nice la, Buddhist lodge is non issue unless u get stack 6 which looks over it. If for rental the best in MPR is the stacks facing the field. As long as no new condo come up there.

Rivergate no one bedder otherwise the prospect also damn good.

Great world city is not that far if you walk along the Kim Seng Park, shady and quiet. If for own stay 2 bedder I will go for Rivergate, rental one bedder is The Pier. MPR caught my eye since it's still a bit cheaper compared to the other 2 and the view from high floor units should be not bad since there's nothing near you.

There is another more pertinent REAL mother of all reasons that I shall only reveal after the election.......you will be lost for words, I assure you....

your little humble brother,

haha. are you a sociologist?

individual buyers (including you and me) buy for different individual reasons.
Yet collectively, the buyers behave like there is a common (unbeknowst to the buyers) reason?
Do buyers have a gestalt mind? :D

To throw a spanner in your train of thoughts.;). Your reason also must explain why is new sales booming, scaling new heights, but subsale and resale is slowing down?

Dear brother condo kaiser, that is the whole idea. to be residential in a good class hotel area beside a river is like a king among the princes as can be seen from developed cities near rivers around the world. do read my reply above why i think the owners of this area are still sleeping.

furthermore, this is right in the middle between the IR, SMU, Banking District and Orchard-at the heart of the Pandora Disk.

As of yesterday, i heard from a source of mine that a Geylang Sims Suites new unit had transacted at S$1742. you have to verify that, I dunno how true is that. well, if that is true, then that just made the owners here who sold at S$1500 recently dumber.:doh:


your humble brother,

It is true - plus bank valuation can even go up to 1773psf...

This site approx. 36,476sqft so that works out to be $3500psf for an empty land. See, told u guys.

:doh:

Correction:

Just been informed the 99 year hotel site beside Robertson 100 is approx. 0.45 hec = 48437.596 ft². ( The site also included a narrow area attached to it )

That works out to be $127.8Million/48,437.596 = S$2,638.446 psf ( or 2,638.446 / 2.8 = S$942 psf per plot ratio ). I was expecting this tender to hit S$3000psf, guess it is still not there yet.:ashamed1:

In September 2008, Lehman's Brothers filed for Chapter 11. Subsequent months saw the uncovering of the subprime and credit crunch. An total estimated US$1.2Trillion had withdrawn from the US and global financial system.

US government and foreign parties injected rescued packages, QE1,QE2,QE3 a total of estimated US$800Billion into the global financial system.

While the old monies had been withdrawn from the system causing the credit crunch; the new monies pumped into the system to supposedly stimulate the return of the old monies was continually being withdrawn from the system too.

So, what actually happened to the "old" money and where did the new money ended up in ? Well, I can reveal to you after the Election and you will be lost for words. You will then realise the real MOTHER of ALL reasons behind property purchases here in Asia.

brother mage, you are too humble to call urself a noob. i was beginning to suspect i am talking to myself here. So happy someone finally responded.

It is very easy to identify times of greed: This will be the time sellers will keep refusing your bids on every higher offer you give to them. You will not be able to close any transaction with them. Every week, you will see higher and higher asking prices in the newspaper. Panic buyers will instead flock to developer's showrooms because it is easier to close the transaction with the developers. Many projects will be fully sold within a week or a few days.

During times of fear, very few buyers in the market. There will still be respectable transaction volume. But mostly resale ones as owners gave up their trophies to you. They will still ask for a higher price but will compromise for a lower offer.

Whether there will be an upcoming time of greed/fear depends on :

1) China further tightening her local property market thus causing many Chinese instead to invest assets overseas as a hedge against their domestic inflation. How so ? Because their forex is inelastic while ours are getting stronger and more elastic. So, they have low exchange rates which is killing their buying power because the more sort after luxury goods by the middle class like cars are foreign made.

2) If US will keep the interest rates below 3%. 3% is the magic number because below this number is the real arbitrage rates as they are effectively negative real rates for your cash in the banks. Unless the banks are able to offer 3% deposit rates which are highly unlikely due to many factors. Beyond 3%, you will be paying more and more for your bank loans.

3) Rental markets. If rental returns remain above 3% like now. It will be better to buy than to rent. Foreigner expats are quick to find out this rental arbitrage rates. Why I called this rental arbitrage rates is because it is more worthwhile to buy than to rent. How so? Imagine you rented at the market for 3% of a property value BUT the bank loan rates are 2%. For a $1 million property, u paid about $3800/month while for a banking loan, you are paying $2800/month ! Even after they packed up and go home, they still can collect good rentals from India or China on the properties here. What do you think the expats will do? Yes . Like what they are doing now in the mass market segment!

4) The Big Fish ( Or the High End Property Investors ) will enter the market when rental arbitrage rates beyond 5% which many time is unlikely but your humble brother here think it is coming soon due to the Japanese earthquake.

Last month was the month of Fear. But starting this week, I think greed is coming back although it is very subtle and low profile now. ( a few pojects in Geyland was fully sold within a day, if my grassroots sources are accurate. )

Good Luck. Just My Humble Opinion Only, Do Not blame me for anything!

How do you feel if you are middle class, work like a dog and YET many great things like properties and cars are getting out of reach for you while the super rich make it seems like child's play to earn money? :doh:

One outcome is like Libya or Egypt... get it ? Middle class, the major bulk of an economy, becomes super pissed and they took to the street and topple the governments.

There is a simple councilliation for asian governments to counter this, but I shall not reveal how until after the election.

That is why, you have to try to stay above this class by actively learning how to invest. Because 10 years later globally, only the non-working class will be calling the shots.

This is exactly what the "angmo" wanted... to enslave YOU, yes YOU and make you become the servant of money. Otherwise, who are going to make the goods for them ?

Very Good point, I have totally forgotten about that!

That is why ONLY SELECT Properties with SHORT RENTAL LAG TIME. My humble view is that the Rental demand in that particular project must be strong enough to make you hold steadily onto the property within the 4 years locked in period.

How so? Some properties located in supposedly good location has no rental demand for dunno what reasons ( fengshui maybe ? ) your humble brother here also got no clue.

A way to know this is to observe the lag time or how fast a vacant unit is taken up within a project. I am sure you got relatives who are agents. They know the best and can tell you.

but new launches are priced 20% higher than properties already built. So, either way, there is high risk in buying more.

Well it is logical to say that but assume you are right, shouldnt the resale vol be higher since expats need to purchase a TOPed unit instead of renting? On the other hand sellers are not selling also due to low interest rates and gd economy. Or r u saying the most FT bot direct from developers instead? If so that means they need to handle rental+new purchase loans which is heftier. Figures show that most new launch are still bought by locals/pr albeit the multiple CMs. Herd mentality or not I am not sure, but the so-called old money will definitely return when we prices of the real CCR condos with huge quantum ssoars coupled with increasing transaction vol.

I did not see a huge or sudden increase in expat buying into new projects . But my sources did see an increase in the number of foreign talents ( Not the usual Indonesian or Malaysians) shopping for properties in the resale market. Whether there is actual transaction, we will all know in a few months' time.

Do not forget, China is facing inflationary problems. She will definately curb her domestic property markets. This is because a big proportion of the population is the most feared middle class. But curbing domestic property markets is equivalent to tell the investing savy young middle class to go elsewhere to park their cash.

For India, the younger educated expats overseas are always the smarter investors than their local businessman. Unless you are talking about Indian businessman like Ratan Tata who are the few exception. No offence intended, just my humble opinion only.

For India, the younger educated expats overseas are always the smarter investors than their local businessman. Unless you are talking about Indian businessman like Ratan Tata who are the few exception. No offence intended, just my humble opinion only.

You brought up a very good point which deserves further investigation ! I shall gather the relevant data on and then meditate on it. You have actually pointed into the correct direction to dwell on this question. Hopefully, I can give you a good answer and contribute here after the election.

:)

dun need to wait for the data liao. confirmed Chinese buyers are in the making..

Since now it is out in the media. Let your humble brother here tell you what is going to happen in the next 5 years to the River Area. There will be massive shortages of hotels in this area.

For the past 5 years, developers had been too focused on building residential properties around the River. With the confirmed success of the 2 IRs now, travelers volume to this city is confirmed going to be explosive.

Where else in Singapore can you get a private condo within a good class hotels area? But then again, some iron teeth will definately come out to bash my logic again and missed the whole bull call again.

This is the best I can help la. :doh:

brother mage, you are too humble to call urself a noob. i was beginning to suspect i am talking to myself here. So happy someone finally responded.

It is very easy to identify times of greed: This will be the time sellers will keep refusing your bids on every higher offer you give to them. You will not be able to close any transaction with them. Every week, you will see higher and higher asking prices in the newspaper. Panic buyers will instead flock to developer's showrooms because it is easier to close the transaction with the developers. Many projects will be fully sold within a week or a few days.

During times of fear, very few buyers in the market. There will still be respectable transaction volume. But mostly resale ones as owners gave up their trophies to you. They will still ask for a higher price but will compromise for a lower offer.

Whether there will be an upcoming time of greed/fear depends on :

1) China further tightening her local property market thus causing many Chinese instead to invest assets overseas as a hedge against their domestic inflation. How so ? Because their forex is inelastic while ours are getting stronger and more elastic. So, they have low exchange rates which is killing their buying power because the more sort after luxury goods by the middle class like cars are foreign made.

2) If US will keep the interest rates below 3%. 3% is the magic number because below this number is the real arbitrage rates as they are effectively negative real rates for your cash in the banks. Unless the banks are able to offer 3% deposit rates which are highly unlikely due to many factors. Beyond 3%, you will be paying more and more for your bank loans.

3) Rental markets. If rental returns remain above 3% like now. It will be better to buy than to rent. Foreigner expats are quick to find out this rental arbitrage rates. Why I called this rental arbitrage rates is because it is more worthwhile to buy than to rent. How so? Imagine you rented at the market for 3% of a property value BUT the bank loan rates are 2%. For a $1 million property, u paid about $3800/month while for a banking loan, you are paying $2800/month ! Even after they packed up and go home, they still can collect good rentals from India or China on the properties here. What do you think the expats will do? Yes . Like what they are doing now in the mass market segment!

4) The Big Fish ( Or the High End Property Investors ) will enter the market when rental arbitrage rates beyond 5% which many time is unlikely but your humble brother here think it is coming soon due to the Japanese earthquake.

Last month was the month of Fear. But starting this week, I think greed is coming back although it is very subtle and low profile now. ( a few pojects in Geyland was fully sold within a day, if my grassroots sources are accurate. )

Good Luck. Just My Humble Opinion Only, Do Not blame me for anything!

brother Rysk arh, in 2009 I said OCR like Botannia going to hit over S$1000psf and many brothers then have the same reaction as you now.

In 2010, I said HDB will hit S$1Million and more. Many brothers have even a greater reaction than you now.

Now in 2012, what happened liao?

Let me tell you why am I so confident that this area will hit S$3000psf and over....but I have to go pansai now. Tell you later and you see I logic or not ok.

blackjack21trader
24-09-12, 13:55
before I start to elaborate on the logic, let me start with a very very simple question:

Brother here when you see a Ferrari and a Toyota, what do you see?

Both are actually a car, tiobo? It is not as if the Ferrari can fly, tiobo?

But when you look at a Ferrari, how much is it? Say S$1.4Million.

Then you look at a Toyota, how much is it? Say S$100,000

How many times does a Ferrari costs versus a Toyota ?

Ans: More than 10 times tiobo?

Now, a Toyota driver will never understand why a Ferrari driver wants to pay that much for a car that only have a bigger engine and plastic body, but cannot fly. Why does the Ferrari owner pays so much?

The answer is related to HUMAN NATURE. It is therefore related to PROPERTY PRICES also.

How so?

Let's say the Toyota driver suddenly inherited S$100Million from a friend. Now, would this Toyota driver not try to upgrade to a Ferrari? Logically speaking, most drivers would. If the driver does not, then he is a stingy person and most likely will not have the luck to inherit S$100Million fortune in the first place.

Which bring us to another pertinent observation your handsome brother here found.

blackjack21trader
24-09-12, 14:00
I am not a Ferrari driver. I am a Lamborghini driver. That is why I ask the Ferrari friend why he not buy a Lamborghini but a Ferrari ?

Ans: He says: Aiyo, blackjack arh, you will never understand one la. Just like I will never understand why you want a lamborghini instead !

I said, tio tio ( Correct , Correct ). It is something very difficult to describe tiobo?

Actually NOT !

The answer is SIMPLE. It is a HUMAN NEED THAT NEEDS TO BE SATISFIED.

blackjack21trader
24-09-12, 14:05
So, lets put this HUMAN NATURE under the microscope and observe. What brings out this need ? Is like why I only have slim girl friends and I will not go after a fat lady no matter how pretty she is. Yes indeed, my girlfriend can be ugly but she must be slim, tiobo? But I cannot say the same for all brothers here, tiobo? Like one friend of mine only goes after fat but pretty lady..his logic is very weird to me...he says.. he says because ...because....aiya I cannot say la. Anyway, let's continue to understand when will THIS NEED emerge ?

For girlfriends, it is simple. Your body and mental requirement forces you to get out there and look for a girlfriend. So for property, when does this need arises ?

Ans: It emerges when the social status of a person advances.

interesting point, I do agree that there are things that a person can appreciate only after his/her social status and wealth has reached certain level.

so, bro BJ21, my question to you: will you change your taste to overweight pretty girls after your social status advanced to the next level?

that is a tough question, brother :)

anyway, I am glad you are able to see my point. And there's more to it. You see, in our father or grandfather's generations. such needs are not easily unveiled in the human emotion because during that time, many are concerned with only making ends meet and there were no middle class. Most cannot afford proper food, let alone think about housing.

Fast forward to our era, and everything have changed. The World is made up of mostly middle class. Even in less developed countries, you see the educated but poor middle class. This tell us something, that this need can replendish itself for at least another 30-40 years. If we take the India and China middle class, this need could persist for another 100-200 years !! And that did not take into consideration the offsprings of the current middle class who are still going to start their social climb from the middle class level too !!!

Scary is it not ?

Yes brother ! Bull's eye !

Well, the situation of the middle class in Singapore is also a bit different than other advanced economies. I do not know to call it a blessing or was it an unintentional policy which in actual fact protected us all from any external shocks.

You see, in overseas economies, the jobs are provided by domestic companies. But here in Singapore, we have globalised companies which pledge no allegience to any government. They are concerned only with efficiency and professionalism of a workforce. And because of our kiasu educational system, our middle class are mostly professional managers who lies above the retenchment axe in the event of any external shocks.

Unlike in USA, where you have this same group of middle class deeply rooted in self run small/home businesses. That is the spirit they have, but unfortunately works no magic in our current crisis as their income is directly affected by their domestic economy. Our middle class is different, they lies just above the axe and that explains why in the past 2 financial crisis, we managed to tide over steadily and engraved a great track record for us. This track record signals we are going to tide over many times. This is not my view, but the views of many CEOs of globalised MNCs.

To be continued...

blackjack21trader
25-09-12, 08:46
Because of all the previous USA QEs added together, the global banks are now hoarding massive cash reserves. However, these banks cannot simply park their cash for too long, they must make their cash works. And how to make the cash work is through giving loans.

Unfortunately, they are only lending to low risks individuals or big businesses for expansion and not high risk entities. They will only lend to MNCs, well known brand names, and Singaporean. Yes, you heard it right, Singaporean !

then u tell them about the various pubs and restaurants in Mohammad Sultan, and later if they really keen, then hook up a deal for the add on furnitures like beds and sofas. REMEMEBER ! Do not blur blur go buy lousy no brand furnitures hor... the angmo are very pampered ones, and they will know hor.

Fully furnish or partial furnish?

brother DC33, so nice to see you again ! it is less than partially furnished ( read above ) when FIRST marketed ( only TV, freezer and washing machine : no beds or sofas or dinning) , rental rates is negotiated later and added upon as I added more furniture later. You can ask the tenants to buy what they like and then you go pay after you sealed the contract.

Oic, then u can try S$6500 first, i think worse can hit S$6000. Paiseh. But remember my pointers above and give it a try see how. Also, ask agent to go for corporate lease and Giro payments only, otherwise go find someone else. You must be firm hor. read the trick above. the angmohs gong gong one machiam like in a trance everyday one la.

Only thing is the common area looks very open, more like a hotel structure.

This project was intended to be a hotel/serviced apartment. That is why u see the marbles all good stuffs. Later, the developer decided to sell as residential. After which, the market Charlie Boom Town and he bang...bang....bang...his ...his... head la. WOAHAHHHEHEHHEHEHEHEH

Most of my rented units are partial furnish. Once I have bought everything but not delivered yet for a new condo. He does not want them but change for something else. So now I usually go for partial furnish.

Banks Chasing Asian Millionaires Create Singapore’s Canary Wharf

By Pooja Thakur and Sanat Vallikappen - 2012-10-09T16:01:00Z

Singapore’s Marina Bay area is emerging as the city’s new financial hub, with banks including Standard Chartered Plc (STAN) and Barclays (BARC) Plc taking bigger offices as they pursue Asia’s expanding ranks of millionaires.
As new construction pushes rents in the area lower, financial-services companies are consolidating operations from the central business district about a 10-minute walk away that was first built almost two centuries ago. Standard Chartered last year relocated from 11 buildings across the city to one tower in the new office area, while Barclays moved from six to two in the district.

“Our growth in Singapore has been incredibly quick over the past few years,” Tony Padgett, head of corporate real estate services at Barclays in Singapore, said in an interview. “Banks tend to go for the prime locations in cities, they gravitate towards the same area like they’ve done in Canary Wharf in London or Wall Street in New York.”

What is Prozac?

Prozac is used to treat major depressive disorder, bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder) obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Prozac is sometimes used together with another medication called olanzapine (Zyprexa) to treat depression caused by bipolar disorder (manic depression). This combination is also used to treat depression after at least 2 other medications have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms.

D10 has been traditionally weak due to the same reasons!

Those areas around Holland all the way to Ulu Pandan.

So, D10 is a district which we cannot take average prices.
Must further segment in D10 (Class 1) (Napier, Tanglin), D10 (Class 2) (Cheap RV - Lower Delta Zion Road), D10 (Class 3) (Off Clementi). In between u can still split Class 2A and B. Hahahaa!

For D'Leedon, I know the development quite well because me fan of Zaha Hadid - the stylo malo Ah Mah! It's a marketing issue! Cant tell more the exact marketing issue. The other problem is the number of units. Dimished the exclusivity. D9-11 people are usually private folks. They like to buy into exclusive properties (read Ardmore, few units, expensive, low key, but when people get to know they fall off their chairs type).

Ok la! Early morning, contribute enough liao!

Fair observations.

To add on. Dleedon is divided into 3 segments. 1+1 only available in blk 11 n 13, large 2 bedders available in blk 7n 9, large 3 n 4 bedders only in blk 3,5 n 15. Somehow the blocks already input "exclusivity" itself. Even the facilities are double in number to have space.

Also, Private folks prefer FH than LH. For truely exclusivity, they will buy LR than Dleedon lor. Unless they wan the views.

hi brother Khng8, thank you very much for asking your humble but handsome brother this question.

actually any project that is selling below S$2000psf along or near the river is very attractive. Note that when you sell anything in this area, you are not selling just a residential apartment but you actually sold with it the potential of the project being earmarked by developers to re-develop as a hotel.

All projects here are hotel calibre !

there are many happening here. including river taxi that will make the connection between Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage and Robertson Quay.

last year I told brothers here that the center of power had shifted from Orchard to the River or Marina Bay. I was laughed at. Now see what the newspaper are saying?

hi brother Khng8, thank you very much for asking your humble but handsome brother this question.

actually any project that is selling below S$2000psf along or near the river is very attractive. Note that when you sell anything in this area, you are not selling just a residential apartment but you actually sold with it the potential of the project being earmarked by developers to re-develop as a hotel.

this development is FREEHOLD and low density.

It has one of the most beautiful design which is a sight to be awed at when completed I assured you especially when viewed at in the night.

and how much was the guniangs asking when first launched?

S$2000psf!

I tell you, the design and thought that is put into this project is certainly worth more than S$2500psf.

The GUNIANG Developers will only target a few area and will not dare to buy up all the landed la.

Buy CCR now cause CCR is going to chiong in 2013-2015.

Background: The Mayans mistook the dragons as serpents. Since in their culture, there is no such thing as dragon. SkyPeople from the skies riding the "dragon-shaped" flying vehicles were mistook for live serpents, which in actual fact, the dragon is a flying machine. :)

This "dragon" appeared in all cultures across the Eastern and Western civilisation. The Double Headed Dragon or Serpent is the Mothership of these smaller "dragons".

Believe or not is up to you...just remember...DO NOT BE TOO IRON TEETH!

Disclaimers: I BELIEVE IN FENGSHUI- IT HAS GUIDED ME IN MY ROAD TO SUCCESS. MY fengshui is the most powderful as it merged the western and eastern thoughts resulting in the appearance of MY THIRD EYE.

Good Luck.

March 2013 is

1) the beginning of the STRONG recovery of USA economy.

2) USD will be stronger resulting in Yen weakening. Hence:

3) It will likely sparked the Mass Exodus of Very Rich to Singapore as they view SGD as the only safe haven hedge against Euro$ because of a weakening Yen. To you the effect is minimal, but to the super rich, exchange losses can run into the MILLIONS.

those that do not care about their millions losses in casino are the fake rich.
I am talking about those that their forefathers had accumulated billions through the generations and they are certainly not reported in the mass media.

and that is the reason why there is such thing as the "DarkPool" in the stock markets.

LTA will build the underpass to Great World City but unlikely if the catch,ent population is small.

Is it the west serpent mouth "pearl" region is at casino - whilst east serpent is at the sports hub 'stadium' that side..??

Interestingly - the downtown line is also a simplified butterfly / Phoenix shape.. Does it mean that the planners all believe in feng shui one?

WOW WOW WOW...you are really a genius !!! The serpent's 2 mouths blow energies with one entering into Kallang River, and the other into Singapore River ! ( the mouths of the dragons matched the mouths of these 2 rivers!)

The ultimate destination of the first energy is the Sports Hub !

It does not actually matter where is the destinations, as the energies flow along the 2 rivers, prosperity will grow along the rivers !!!

I thought a lot of people are doing carry trade with USD currency as well. That is why the hot inflow of money into asia.

Now if USD is strengthening, they have to unwind their carry trade positions and so there should be an outflow from Asia towards US.

Isn't it that way?

you are so clever ! another smart brother detected !

as I mentioned before to DKSG, the DAX will shoot into hyperspace once that happen. DAX or the German Index will be the indicator everyone is watching.

The issue here is when that happens, there will be SELECTIVE OUTFLOWS. This is the "event" I perceived with my THIRD EYE.

where do you think they will choose to stay in Asia? Make a Guess.

Of course if USA make a GUNIANG recovery instead of a strong one, then nothing will happen lor:

actually i love to keep the best bit for the last. but since brothers here make me so happy and are so intelligent and well-informed: I share with you guys the following:

Many siaolangs brainwashed by the angmo media shouting crash arh crash arh...but little do they know, the crash already happened.

the crash happened in 2008 with the collapse of Lehman, evaporating billions or maybe trillions ( nobody actually can tell the exact figure ) of stock markets value globally.

we are living in the AFTERMATH of this collapse:

1) Population growth exponentially = Depleting resources = only few strong economies will be able to buy these resources.

2) Potable water crisis = we are all built on a water economy; not an oil economy. Oil already peaked somewhere in 2009.

3) Currency war ongoing = inflation. e.g when USA prints, everyone has to print.

4) Many Unrest and Natural disasters all over the globe.

5) Unemployment issues due to point (1).

The MOTHER OF ALL QUESTIONS IS:

WHERE IS THIS SAFE HAVEN ON EARTH?

Ans: This SAFE HAVEN is found where the government proactively work to overcome the above 5 challenges. Most economies in the world are at a serious disadvantage because of the brain drain. The top brains chose to remain in the lucrative private sectors like the banks. And see now what is happening to them?

In this SAFE HAVEN, your job is to worry about only one issue- PRODUCTIVITY. The bigger issues are the jobs of the top brains. YOU SLEEP and wake up the next morning to work. The top brains is to spend their countless sleepless nights solving the more external issues.

In the other weaker economies, the people took to the street because of their incompetent governments to try to solve the problem themselves.

Where would you GO if you have the money?

Ans: Don't GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE TRAFFIC HOR !

So brothers here may ask. what if the DAX shoots into hyperspace like Volkswagen in 2010, what happens next?

well, your humble brother here with THE THIRD EYE has the answer:

MASSIVE USD including those from QE1 to QE5 will start to backflow into the USA. If by that time, USA employment rates recover to below 4%, then everything could be fine, and the USA will have managed to pull it off again!

However, if by then the USA makes another jobless recovery similar to the one in 2009, then I am afraid to tell you, we could see inflation or the goose started to fly back to America for barbecue

I can only tell you what will happen as each event unfolds, right now, that is all I can say.
