minority,
You the biggest LIAR here saying other people talk cock? Wow! anyway, still lose to you the BIGGEST LIAR!
Yes, when there is a crash, government can easily roll back the property cooling measures, just like in 1997 but it took 8 long years until 2005 before the property market is able to revive - History already taught us that it is so easily to crash property market with policies but so difficult to revive it with policies (because investors' sentiment has been badly dented!)!

Hi. Just curious. If say a bank sells otc bonds to a customer, are they liable to get sued?
Hope you made a windfall as most of the bonds prices shoot up recently, I bought nol bond at junk price and it shoot up quite a lot and still waiting for otto marine ( 79 ) to redeem in AUG . Since the prices are stabilized the gain are flat now. I guess should wait for stock opportunity in June.
I am an investor rather than a trader. I switched to bonds in 2011 to preserve wealth rather than to create wealth. Hence, I invest only in investment grade bonds and not junk bonds. Investment grade bonds usually are very stable and investors are mostly looking for coupon payment. Because prices are very stable for investment grade bonds, one could sell them anytime if we need the money to switch to other instrument like property when the market ready to enter.
I do not believe like many others here that anytime is a good time to invest in property nor do I believe that as long as bank is willing to lent, I will buy more. This strategy only works in the 80s' and 90s' when our GDP was double digit or high single digit. Going forward, buying property in Singapore is like investing in stock; understand the market and know when to enter and exit the market. It may be difficult to predict or time the market but as long as you are not greedy and do not aim to buy at the lowest and sell at the highest, you should be doing well in your investment.
For example in late 2011, many people who plan to sell for a profit missed the opportunity to sell because they wanted to wait for prices to go up even higher and found themselves still holding on to their assets today.
On the other side, many late entry investors due to greed still went on to buy in late 2011 and these people now find themselves stuck with an inflated asset.
If you are in the market for wealth creation, one should not be too greedy and hoping to buy at the lowest and sell at the highest. Take profit if you think the price is peaking and not wait till price is at the peak because you cannot know when is the peak but you know when it is peaking.
GREED kills!
I disagree categorically that it's all about greed.
Property was and is the most defensive class of asset.
No regrets switching over to it. In fact, I wonder why people still don't see it after so many years. Personally I am having such a great time!
It's never about timing.

Can Never make me trade paper money(IOU) for another type of paper money(Bond) https://secure.fundsupermart.com/mai...o/sgsIntro.tpl.
Still believe in the good old way of using other people money(Cash, Deposit) to buy property(can touch and feel).
If Bank can lend me Money (electronic money key into their computer system), I will still buy property. The government doesn't create money, Bank do. That is the reason why MAS need to create 8 control measure to stop the Bank from creating too much money.
Have always think the Bank loan money from the deposit and never in my mind they just need to key into their computer system and money is created. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsrtB5lp60s

The fund management industry also flourished, growing from just over SGD150 billion in 1998 to nearly SGD1.4 trillion in assets under management in 2010.

Property price can only become cheaper with all the created money running around looking for a place to park.
Southbank 2 Bedroom SGD 535,000 in 2006, SGD 1,550,000 in 2010. The Same piece of land, the same piece of building, did the property price increase or the money depreciate.
Was away from Singapore for the last 8 years 8 month, ask my colleague and friend did they see what I saw, most of them look lost.
Let hope the NOL 4.25% due 2017 & 4.4% due 2019 change of control is triggered. Another 1.5% increase.
Bought NOL 2017 @98.5. Wanted to add 1 more lot when price dropped 92 but was advised not to due to concentration risk.

Thanks for the reply, I've bought nol 4.4 at 85 and sold on wed at 93. Are short term local bonds ( 1 to 2 years) and selling at distress price (below 90)worth the bet? But of course majority are related to O&G. Nevertheless I still believe properties investment is for long term. Properties can never vanish but corp can close shop overnight.

Most cities' property prices shoot up in recent years and definitely in long term not just SG and HK. I just can't bring myself to invest in today prices.

Don't dispute property for long term , defensive and wealth preservation. What r u gotta do with excess cash? Bonds and stocks should be next option. I used to buy and keep bonds and stocks for longer time frame. But last few years I found trading a lot fastest to gain. There r a lot chances blue chips and good bonds sold at distress prices, just wait for opportunity. Few times within a year.
More than $25k profit within a few month.
FYI, the NOL 4.25% LTV is 70%. Cash needed is only $75k. With leverage, est 14% return for holding est 1 yr.
I am taking calculated risk to buy junk bond China HNA 7% due 31Mar2017 Corp SGD @100. Short dated junk bond. A few Banks gives LTV 75%. But no seller in the mkt unless you are willing to Q at higher than 100.
Oxley 4-year 5.15% bond anyone?

Most local retail buyers buy corporate bonds through bank either as private or priority clients. For IPO, most good bonds are reserved for private clients.
CBSH, correct me if I am wrong, this UOB Perp is not the usual European bank's coco bond. It is non-coco but with lost absorption through principal reduction.
According to the RM. as long as it comes with loss absorption features. It is considered a Coco. As for the not the usual European
bank coco bond. I am not sure & U need to ask your RM.
Deal size is S$750m. Final books were in excess of S$2.4B. I did not apply as the borrowing cost in SGD is too expensive.
Around 2.3 to 2.5%. Used to be 1.1% to 1.3% for SGD loan b4 2015.
