Hey Guys,

These sorts of sweeping generalizations apply to the capital and major cities obviously.

I understand your point about “which” property market. It is the same in the (unmentionable word)market. While the major (unmentionableword)s were all tanking in 2000-2003, I can show you smaller capitalized companies that appreciated 600% or more…[Read more]

Well Peter, thats what makes a market, eh, different perceptions of value.

I see it every single day in the (unmentionableword)market.

I was just reporting what was said, without offering my opinion, but I tend to agree that in general, prices tend to regress to the mean. At the moment we are unquestionably on the upper extremes of the long term…[Read more]

As a matter of fact, I think it is a reliable sell signal when people start with this sort of comment.

It’s all part of a cycle.

1 square metre= 10.76 square feet
1 square = 100 square feet

so 23 squares = 213.75m2 ( 23*100/10.76 )

and 230 m2 = 24.75 squares ( 230*10.76/100 )

Hi again,

Hope this doesn’t break the rules, but is general in nature:

As most here who are interested in the sharemarket are investors as opposed to traders, here is a handy growth value indicator.

It identifies prospects as a starting point for further research:

EPS= earnings per…[Read more]

Property:

No bargains for a couple of years yet. It will take time for financial pain to set in for those overcommitted.

Sharemarket:

Be bloody careful if you are looking long term. Be very very selective. P/E multiples are still way too high overall….in other words not too many bargains to be found…but there are some…do your…[Read more]
