The worst is over, The golden age is here

and SIA seems to support my view

Bullish SIA spreads wings to shop for 25 new planes
[SINGAPORE] If you thought Singapore Airlines was scaling back long-haul operations to focus on just regional routes, think again.

[hyenergix]

SIA must have analysed its passenger data and found more long distance travels from west to east. This should support the theory that Asia is the area of growth for the next 10 years (considering the size of the investment), and more people from the west will travel to the east for more opportunities. Hold on to your properties (and rent out to them).

KKR bets big on South-east Asia

SINGAPORE - United States private equity firm KKR yesterday opened an office in Singapore to serve as the regional hub for investments, underscoring the industry's growing interest in South-east Asia. The Singapore office, its seventh in Asia since entering the region in 2005, will be staffed by a seven-member team.

"South-east Asia is KKR's second-largest investment destination in Asia after China. But now is the time to establish a permanent presence," said KKR co-founder Henry Kravis.

=> Indon is the leader of growth in SEA now

it is not just the property market ... I am sure the CM has short term cooling effect .. what I am questioning is why there huge hot money flowing into HK stock market ... it could mean proxy play for Chinese economy or HK itself??

S&P 500 Rises to 5-Year High

Chinese data was always going to be important yesterday but the 14.1% jump in exports was remarkable given that the pundits were expecting a rise of just 4%. This data reinforces the notion that the 7.4% GDP growth we saw in Q3 2012 is the low point in the cycle and growth is looking better once more.

Market this time seems to ignore fiscal cliff / debt ceiling issues completely, RISK ON

Be prepared for panic buying in COEs / properties ... I am going to sell some bonds to add to China-A position

[blackjack21trader]

Brothers and sisters ... after going through countless charts and analysis, I hereby declare that the worst is over for US / Europe / China ... 2013 Q1 will be the turning point towards a golden era for world's economy as well as for Singapore... OCR will chiong to 1900psf and HDB resale index will hit 250 in 2014/2015 as people around 40y old will be so afraid of losing out that they will borrow from uncle chestnut to buy their dream PCs ... Yishun, Tanah Merah, Punggol, JLD i.e. north south east west of Singapore will hit 1400psf in 2013 ... Dow will break new high and inflation will hit beyond 5% again due to many new SPRs unable to buy PCs or resale HDBs giving excuse for landlords to raise rent to 7th heaven. Many retirees will take out equity loan to secure another PC just for children ... because if you don't act NOW, another CM will ensure you won't be able to do that

And I quote lyrics from Hotel California:

You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "

this will now put pressure on MAS too

Nobody will go there. The new rich immigrants only goes to English speaking countries like Singapore. That is why they are facing a serious aged population problem now.

those economies that did not use English as their official language will face many competitive problem in the New Golden Era 2010-2025.

the English language is the ONLY language in the Universe used by many alien species from Planet Andromeda or within the Milky Way.

PAISEH...My Third Eye just told me you could be a Japanese. I actually meant to say Japanese language is very difficult to master, that is why few dare to go there.

Don't get me wrong. Please do not wait, take your first flight here to Singapore tomorrow, brother !

Make not mistake, based on TA alone, we are in the beginning of a bull market .... as the saying goes ... a bull market climbs walls of worries ... so early stage of bull market will be full of walls like fiscal cliff, debt ceiling, doubts/attacks from bears ... fragile economic numbers ... threat of housing oversupply from Kenobi-wan



of course if US does the unthinkable of delaying rasing of debt ceiling then there will be panic

[Simi]

Hi phantom

i believe we are in the 1st wave of the bull run

S&P500 from 666.79 to now 1480plus
this 1st wave could likely ends at around 1570 - 1600

There are many banks roll out their lunch / breakfast on the presentation of Market outlook 2013. Most of them have the same readings...on equity, bonds and commodities.

Yes, this is the year of equity, especially for certain markets. Sg equity market may not be that attractive.
