Why, Freckle, darling, I thought you'd never ask >blush< Personally, our "family fortunes" (that's a lot less than it sounds) are spread in various RE (B&M/Notes of various structures/REITs etc) in various countries and continents, with smaller amounts in various interest bearing funds/term deposits etc – also in several currencies world-wide.…[Read more]

Interesting, well balanced view of the situation, and I agree. It's a thin rope and dangerous juggling act, and will need the support of many irrespective variables to succeed. But when wasn't this the case? The volatility and cyclic extremes in global economies is only going to get worse in coming years. Short term players will make bigger…[Read more]

Here are some more of the idiots who have faith in Japan – Soros and GS Give Bass the Three Fingered Salute

The man with a history of going against the wind and winning may be rolling his golden dice again: Billionaire investor George Soros is apparently placing bets on Japan, just as the market there dangles over bear territory. His…[Read more]

Kinda like this article…meandering opinion piece, recycling old ideas without actually saying anything new, and certainly nothing concrete. What happened to the graphs? It's been two days already!

On the upside, though, the live tenants are far better than the dead ones…got one now who's been in the same unit 19 years…another client just settled on one that's been there for 15…average 4.5 per tenant – not too shabby, even if you have to conduct the occasional exorcism when they go.

No, these guys definitely fall under "dead ancestors/samurais". You're lagging behind again, Dub. I'll have to ask you to visit mr Abe's office after class.

That all depends on the nature of the apparition…poltergeists, shades and class 3 spooks are covered by the "spectral" clauses of most insurance policies. But general moans, groans, clanking chains, spirits of dead ancestors and samurais are usually not. To be on the safe side, its always good to get an independent, objective analysis from your…[Read more]

No, not really, he's just saying you haven't got a clue, same as him, and evidence points to the same uncertainty, nothing more and nothing less.

Yada, yada, yada, my numbers are bigger than yours, I don't think it'll end we'll therefore it won't, and anybody who doesn't agree with me is krugmans mother.

I have several words in several languages to describe your rhetoric, freckle, but they're all slowly gyrating towards something akin to a sandfly – this déjà vu is too much for me, you're…[Read more]

You're confusing "sook" with "tired of re-typing the same arguments six months consecutively".

Its all in here – https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forums/overseas-deals/4346966

enough.

Sorry, freckle, maybe your memory fails. I'll repeat it one more time for your Alzheimer's sake –

I already answered all of your queries to the best of my ability in past discussions (that's why your relentless posts receive less of a reply each time, because you're not bringing anything new to the table, and neither am I, in my opinion, so its…[Read more]

I'm serious, man – it's impossible to debate with someone who cancels out every potential solution to every challenge, every number or statistic that doesn't sit well with his world view as "unconvincing", "shallow", "meaningless in the long run" etc – as smart as these words all sound, they're as meaningless as the point they're trying to make -…[Read more]

You seem to laugh a lot, Freckle, good on ya. It's probably because everybody in the worlds so stupid and you're so smart. Then again, it could be a sign of mental frailty, I hear. But those graphs are so pretty and colourful…enjoy your weekend!

To simplify Japans recovery strategy into "going into more debt" without addressing the specifics or where that money goes is kindergarten rhetoric, freckle. Gimme a break. You don't like the news, don't think much of the strategy, suit yourself, but you can't ignore its existence.  You're the one smacking your head into the wall here, not…

Krugman, Abe, IMF, BOJ, FED, RBA – idiots, the lot of them, without a cent of wisdom and/or experience between them. Praise the lord for Kyle Bass and the Freckle – there may be hope for the world yet. Get off your high horse, it's getting tired. The data and severity of the global economy situation these past few years, Japan not being exempt, is…[Read more]

Yes, we've heard it before, you'll quote the economists who don't agree with the ones I quote and vice versa – the reasons both opinions exist is because no one knows what'll happen (including you, as shocking as this may sound).
