Stock Market Crash: BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS ARE FEARFUL.

"ST Index 2,341.40 -77.89 Volume 140.7 M Gainers/Losers 32 / 245 SGX 5.850 -0.100. Not looking good ..... "

The following forum exchanges on property investment vs buying stocks in the light of the stock market crash today is extracted from the Singapore Property Market:

"smart investors are now buying property as property price is more stable and likely to rise ..now they are collecting rentals and not afraid their property will be SHORTED cos share you can short but physical property you cant short"

"This is a dumbest investor. this is the time to buy stocks and sell properties. So you bought property this year .. condemned already"

"SHARES???!!!!!!! DONT BE STUPID LAH. NOW NO COMPANY IS SAFE. NO GUARANTEE COMPANY WONT GO BANKRUPT. BLUE CHIPS LIKE AIG, LEHMAN SHARES ALL DROP TO ZERO AND ALMOST ZERO. YOU ARE DUMP. SHARES CAN GO DOWN EVEN FURTHER. PROPERTY - YES PRICE CAN GO DOWN BUT NOT MUCH. AND I STILL COLLECT RENT!!!!!!!! "

"BE FEARFUL WHEN OTHERS GREEDY (some ppl are still greedy about property) .. BE GREEDY WHEN OTHERS FEARFUL (most ppl are now fearful about stocks, be selective and you will reap handsome profits)"

"property prices will remain strong. stocks very risky.. yes i am surprised even US blue chips can go bankrupt"

"Ya, please help the developers by buying up the properties and be the suckers, property prices will remain strong, yeah right! "

"shares got shorted down but physical property can't be shorted .. therefore it makes sense for property to be the most superior investment asset - you get to enjoy good rental cashflow without much worry. unlike shares dividends are not guaranteed as company can go bankrupt any time. any fall in property prices in spore (not US as US property prices will remain low for many years) will rebound as spore economy will grow higher with the opening of two mega global IRs "


"short sighted!! property will crash worse than stocks ... just 40% off $1M and you'd lose $400K, $1M then would be enough to buy two properties instead of one ... "
