2 million buck condo ??? 

[attachmentid=3765074]

Saw this in today's The Star.

I just cannot believe what it says, at 10% of the price 20 years ago! Typo?

Or is the situation really that bad?

Cheerio.

Since many wont choose tis type of prop for investment, guess the competition oso not there at all. So for those who dun mind to pour in the cash and wait for long, usually ll b rewarded handsomely in another way. Of cos the margin gain might best b on par with some flippers flipping 20 units of some small units studio under dibs upon vp. But lower risk for the bungalow holder imho. Cos he can service the loan. Guess if flippers fail in servicing loan upon vp without buyers, doomed liao.

I wished the government had imposed at least a RM2m price tag for foreign investors. Many klang valley condo already cost RM1m.

Wonder if there is a limit to how many properties a foreign investor can own in Malaysia.

If like that, isn't it better to invest in share market? Tax free some more....

Blue chips also cannot ?

For buying shares you need to:
1) Have a plan
2) Stick to the plan whatever happens

I also paid my tuition fees already.

Most probably no actual profit, 9 years of inflation will take a big bite out of it.

stop-lost don't work during a free fall of stock. trading happen when your price match the asking price.

lets say you stop lost at RM10 while the panic market lelong at RM9, your trade will never happen since they need to match all the RM9 stock first before doing your RM10 stock ... then people lelong at RM8.

you need to be in the market to actively change your price ... and of course your broker/remiser need to be able to key it in fast enough ... .. .

profit taking target would work, since your price will be lowest during an up trend ... you be bust stopping the sell and waiting for better price.

market going either way, its not good for your blood pressure. 

What about penny stocks?

Brace ourselves. .

100% agreed with prody boss always stick to urs plan & cut loss if the price move below urs cut loss point.

Interesting.

Saw a news report that house sales in Ipoh has dropped by 50% compared to last year, as I have mentioned earlier.

This seems to support what I learnt earlier on economy leading indicator, real estate then follow by stock market.

Signs of property heading south but stock market is still heading north (maybe to the lagging effect). So exercise some caution for those who want to get into the share market, especially the first timers (I guess the old timers can hand onto the good shares and ride out the unknown future).

My 2 cents.

Interesting. Thanks.

2 things I keep in mind when I read articles:
* my biased mind filter - if I expect the bubble to burst, then when I read an article saying that, I will say to myself, see, this expert is supporting my expectation. And the dangerous thing is to ignore/don't believe articles which say the opposite. So beware of this natural human logic biased thinking.
* not everything they report is the truth, numbers they quoted etc. The data they quoted are from 2nd or 3rd parties which may be just opinion.

Nonetheless, good and useful to keep monitoring the development. Thanks.

P/S I like India's share index name - Sensex! Wah! Any state here starting with "S" for their motor plate number? One day they will reach SEX . . . . numbers! But I think they will not issue plates with SEX ....
