2000sqf is a building which built in 2001. 2000sqf is a land. It has been already for 13 yrs. Very good got big ponds, garden, garage can fill 2 cars. Walau I said to father not to sell but he said must must sell otherwise confiscated by bank too.

Next time if got similar deal. Tell us. We will pay 51k....

Malaysia total debt is over 150% gdp.

If your debt is over 20 times of your annual income,  you are over stretched and vulnerable to interest rate change.

Today MAS share up 15%.... those who laughing, Jliew has made 15% gross profits in front of your eyes in just a few days. Out of sympathy, he went to support MAS share n now rewarded for his kindness....so, in short, in bad n trying times, if u dare to make the move, u never know your rewards is knocking on your door. Few days ago, I saw lots of people talking about MAS going to bankrupt bla bla bla....

So what is your professional advise as economist student and anything that worthy to invest?  Seem from your side everything look wrong and too risky

property agents and flippers... some even say they help to contribute to Malaysian GDP wor..

today KL shares naik oh...haizzz 2.7 points lor... i know many uker bank in hard for MAS shares coz tahun melawat Malaysia maa... hehe  .got untung remember us DDD..

From Meja Bulat to Serious Kopitiam to just Kopitiam

last time my father bought for 30k only in 2000 but did heavy renovation until 1 year.the house is look like a hotel, the ceiling is with the solid wood. is it a big deal? I am jealous condo in KL can sell profit 500%!

Good lesson from your boss anyway I still put my hope on iceman will come out on something rather than just point out the weakness without solution

I have about 1 friend rich ma have >USD100 million, 2 other friends >USD 20 million. But they tell me they got lucky. They said make friends with people above you and have networks with others. It's not what you know but who you know. Just that tips.

Depending on how much $ you have and risks appetite, my preference are;
- financial and big names stocks in NYSE, London
- property in major cities the U.S and London
- property related stocks in the U.S and U.K

The person was offered opportunity must have the resources to complete the task also.
Typical herd behavior, birds of feather flock together.
If one believe economy is in cyclic movement, buying after bottomed is low risks, although it take longer for price to increase. Given Malaysia property price is near peak or passed peak, higher chance or almost certain for price to go negative than positive.
You could buy into big name (McDonald's, Coca cola, Starbucks, Citibank, BoA, Berkshire Hathaway, Walmart, AIG, Nike, Apple, Microsoft, etc) or property related stocks through either online, Singapore stock broker or some local stock brokers.
To invest property in London or US cities, you should be familiar with the city first. Suggest you make a few visits there before you decide.
Foreigners can buy property in UK and US, and normally pay cash. Alternatively, some local banks do offer loan for property in London Zone 1 to 3 only. You should allow about 5% of purchase price for stamp duty, insurance, survey, etc.

Btw, I am only a student not a sifu.

Historical stock price is real life example.

For property in London and US, don't think you have enough fund at the moment. As for stocks, as long as you keep to those big names, chance for you to fail is minute.
Property market is very much depending on cheap liquidity. As local banks are tightening up credit means property market transaction and price will be curtailed.

Given U.S and E.U economy is on path of recovery, expect well run companies will do well.

U.S and EU went through 2008 recession and could only go up. Malaysian economy has been too good for too long, so could only go down.
If company growth potential is there, why worry about high PE. Why didn't you consider FB when IPO at $38, dropped to $18 or $54 earlier this year?

U dont pay the difference, they ll say see u in court...

why u go buy in. NYSE or London market? Big names, u know?

Ladies, we have good news :

Mas shares plunged again 42 cents, nett loss of 44 million only
BUT bursa malaysia naik ohh..5.22

In 3 years time, stocks and property price in the u.s and e.u is more likely higher than current. However, property price in Malaysia is almost certain to be lowered.
You can laugh more when your investment turned negative in the future.

actually a person that has been through "real" experience will know if he really have been through this before, not merely judge a person "student" just because he admit he is a "student"

the fact everyone suddenly rejoice after seeing you say you are student ah, makes me wonder who are the real students
