Does the End of QE Mean the End of the Property Boom?

Singapore has strayed, in GKS words, from "the improvement of standards of living for everybody in the rural areas rather than to try, by artificial means, to contrive prosperity for a few."

Rentier activities dominate Singapore now at the expense of entrepreneurship.

China is even worse, would outside BJ 4th ring pricing of 1900psf with half the rental of Singapore make sense?

GKS england then powderful.

this is one of the very rare occasions i have to check the definition a word ("spivvery") used in condosingapore.

Well Deng Xiao Ping then strategy was to make a few people rich first ... without that ... China will be still 3rd world .. so what is wrong of "contrive prosperity for a few"

Capitalism is the only system that works in last 100y ... what to do?? Singapore capitalism is already managed ... otherwise u will see 60y LH selling at 2000psf

Do you have parents that save their entire life to buy u a house? If singapore have this type of parents, then our property price will go higher.. And for them, they are really not enough homes for the huge population in BJ

BJ has no public housing, SG does .... I really need to give credit to PAP on the excellent execution of HDBs ... of course public housing will be really hard to execute in a huge political hierarchy like China

The beauty is HDBs are protected from foreigners and regular upgrades ensure that they do not become slums

Property goes up and down. Nothing special about this cycle. Just a matter of time.

In all crisis till date, when it is at its bottom, most people won't buy.

In all bull market till date, when it is at its highest, most people say won't drop.

I have been through 3 cycles, every cycle is the same.

Wow ... u so snr (in age)? Good to learn fr snr & experienced pp

Sg is a country with a supernatural ability to replenish its population at will. It can increase or decrease. It can select the brightest and the wealthiest among the world population to stay. This is the top of the world. I believe the property price is still cheap. US is falling apart on its own accord. The recent spy scandal show how divided US as a nation. Don't count too much that US can rise up from the economic slump.

something out of this context .....

is it correct to say Rise up ? Drop down ?

is it not understandable that Rise will be up and Drop will be down ?

can any English expert care to comment ?

one danger about the NSA big brother is if foreign governments may lose confidence in NASDAQ companies .. there is already rumour that Hong Kong government is swapping out security software from US giants like CA/Novell/IBM ...
