The 10th Malaysia Plan with massive property constructions around KL/Selangor would once again change the prospective of KL properties.

Frankly, is it good for Malaysia ?

The supply would well exceed the demands.


Why the Govt wants to spend the money to create such an over supply situation ?

Then later you need to use good money to bail out the bad money. liao.

The property crisis is in the making, if we are not careful.

Need to study the history of Dubai carefully.

Again, it is just my view.

Ya if you have done your home works, REITs are practically a Safe form of Internet Investing, without leaving your house or Office.

The beauty of it.

the E dividends make them more attractive.

There are odeli Billionaires like EPF invested in REITS.

And Tamasek is going to buy some Sunreit. Another Billionaire .

REIT is about Asset Allocation if you believe you need one.

This question had been answered many times before in V one. And I put it on the first page of V2 ( Post 2 ) in a summarised form.

I think the current new batch of foumers are not maximizing the vast data and info compiled.

Even some have school homeworks, they expect others to do for them .

End of the day, you think there is a fast track to success in Investing

Again , it is just my view.

There is an old saying that Long term asset is supposedly to be supported with long term borrowings, that preached in most accounting textbooks.

The last Asia Financial Crisis spoke for itself. Many Malaysian companies at that time depended a lot on cheap short term borrowings were in troubles. Even Telekom Malaysia needed to be bailed out ( injected with fresh funds ) by British Telekom .

The high yields of REITS, or rather the high current expectations of small investors would continue to drive REITS to look for short term/cheap borrowings from daily surplus funds in money markets, to lower their costs of operations. There are good and bad, if you look at both sides of the coins.

Once the economy is facing some credit crunches , some less well managed REITS are likely to face similar problems. And the present trade cycle would not last for usual ten years, perhaps less than 5 years. The moment you see a small boom, more people would start to talk about recessions again.

But not easy to change the mindsets of small investors until they really face the real problems. Meanwhile, they would continue to look for the highest yields in the markets. Not saying it is a wrong way also, just the preferences of most individuals .

Just my view only.

And Happy Investing to all.

REITS are not gambling tools.

Some info/introductions here :-

http://realestate.financialplanningmalaysi...in-malaysia.php

Better if You can find more about REITS by reading more in V1 plus V2 , and to make a final decision on which ones suit you. These are valuable and practical experiences shared by others .

Somehow, there are no short cuts in Investing, even by obtaining the best education in university would not ensure the success of a person. However, to certain extents it might help.

Just my view only.

P/S > Sori, no intention to divert the attention of forumers to other blogs.

any short term investment ideas besides the REITs (or unit trusts)?


Frankly, One still has to sharpen one's knowledge and skill before you move out to the short term battle fields.

Basically it is still the same world as before, big fish is waiting to eat the small fish.

Nowaday, EPS could include many things like the higher revaluation of shares and properties that you do not see the actual inflow of Cash.

So over distributions of dividends ( if any from these assets ) could pose a big risk. There is no guarantee that these assets would go up higher and higher during the recessions.

Aiyah, probably need to hold a seminar to explain the 0.05sen extra income.

Most of the time, i just round it up or down.

Very lazy to do an analysis of it of late.

For those who are interested to know more about Axis Reit.

Happy Investing to all.

You never know the power of compounding interest.

And the power of getting passive incomes, that one day, REITS give you in the incomes that you may not feel like to work.

Then it is very powerful.

Dream big dreams.

The projected rates are more or less the market practices.

Once you include a confirmation in black and white, then you are putting yourself on the chopping board, i.e unlimited numbers of investors could sue you one.

That is why investors need to read a fair bit to feel what is going on in the market. Those who promise you tons of returns are just beginners or people have not experienced the trade cycles enough . That is why, the Chinese believe you need to eat certain amount of salts to grow up.

Unless you can see the future with a crystal ball, then it is an exception.

Rates though could be projected with certain accuracy but not easy to explain the tax structure part esp some tax allowances could have been given.

If it is a 0.05sen in DPU ( diff ) out due to tax structure, quite a hard time to explain or understand on that part.

If not , some forms of doubts remain in the mind of the investors.

That is what the marketing people do not like to do.

Malaysians somehow want 100% accuracy .

Let change your company business activity to ONLY buy and sell shares, then no need to pay tax .

Well, for me I think there is no need to reply if a person does not spend his/her own effort to read somethings useful in V1 or V2.

If we continue to do so, we are back to spoon feeding system that I see as a major setback to Malaysia, as compared to Singapore.

Singaporeans are forced to learn something on their own first, because they want to " save face" during a conversation they foresee in the future , in a way it is good.

Malaysians demand for their rights to be taught again and again. Anyway, I am sure these group of people would not become future good investors.
