Although hedging a portfolio is little bit more challenging than getting a insurance policy on a property. |

There's still opportunities for huge returns even now. Some of the stuff I bought is worth a fair bit more than I paid - that could just be Darwin though! Also, it's perspective, $50K probably had the same significance as $300K or a bit less back then. Future gens will say they bought for $500K and sold for $1M. Here's hoping anyway! |

well anything you care to share? That is what I was looking for this morning but couldn't find ( I am a bit lazy so didn;t look too hard) the paper I was looking for. Because I would be willing to bet that most peeps think they are the same thing and goes somewhat to explain the aussie fixation with property and gambling. |

Australian property prices are so overpriced it isn't funny. If the next wave comes, it will take longer than what happened before, with less opportunity. Baby Boomers and Gen X had it easy... it will be interesting to see what happens when the BB's die off (sorry if that sounds crude!). Will there be a mass market sell off, or will it just be passed down to the next gen? |

Essentially, decisions theory suggests that a loss has approximately twice as much psychological effect as a gain. Loss Averse. I feel the same. |

Decided a while ago, trading is not my game. I cashed out - made money. Don't even have an account anymore - many people don't.

The Australian property prices have been debated so much. I personally think, there is still demand to justify the prices - which makes it the market price. The worrying thing is the leveraging levels of the average Aussie. Could get ugly. |

Really which state? The Aussie land lord that got shot and killed by one of his tenants was enough for me.

Storm financancial clients leveraged off their properties to purchase shares and share-based invetments. Many lost properties because of shares. There is still plenty of opportunity to invest in property in Australia and make a significant amount of money. However, I believe if you are not adding any value, you will not see a huge swing in the near term. Last edited by travisaus; 03-04-2012 at 09:33 PM.. |
