Whether its a liability or a pile of cash that I'm sitting on, I'm just glad that I jumped into the market 2 years back. Paper gain only, but a gain is still a gain, certainly better than a loss.

+1 to that!

I'm always fascinated by the people who claim that they can read all the signs in the world, knowing that a property bubble is just around the corner. And I've been hearing about it for years, which makes it all the more laughable. Maybe he/she is going around in a circle, thus, the endless wait for the circle.

Oh well, I've profited quite a tidy sum from property investment in the past few years. Glad that I jumped into the market back then. Interestingly, some of my friends who strongly advised me not to invest back then were personal wealth investment consultants based in Singapore. Education from reputable universities in the States and working with the likes of Merrill Lynch and Black Rock. They advised me that equities were the way to go, as compared to real estate.

*Two thumbs up*

Well, I am not entirely optimistic for 2014. I think the property market will really stabilize and we won't see crazy increases in the property prices. Transactions will also come down. But that being said, I don't think we are going to see a 'deflation' and certainly not a bubble bursting. Anything more than a 10% decrease in price is a bubble to me. The US saw prices dip as much as 50% in certain areas.

Lots of people predicted Malaysians property market to crash back in 2010. Can easily google this up.
