Fun Theory : GuocoLand unveils tallest building in Singapore

Fun theory about how market peak co-incides with tallest buildings.

http://malaysiafinance.blogspot.sg/2008/08/tallest-buildings-as-leading-indicator.html

All three buildings were conceived in the bull market and built through the peak, only to open for business amid the worst office-space market in decades.
As each of these buildings were completed, they opened during down-trodden markets.

The signal to sell appears when the tallest building is conceived or begins construction.


Guess what.. :)

Someone just conceived and will begin construction of the tallest building in Singapore! :) It's due for completion in 2016. Of course.. It is still shorter than most of the tallest building in the world. But it is tallest in Singapore :) How much of a correlation do you think it will be between market peak and tallest buildings?

Interesting.. Did the famous stock guru made more money from stocks or property?

http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-zweig-penthouse-listed-for-125m-2013-3

we now know that late investor Martin Zweig's legendary penthouse apartment atop the Pierre in New York City will be listed for $125 million....He paid $21.5 million for the penthouse back in 1999.


Interesting... It does seems long-term passive investing means putting money into a property(be it residential or investment) is a surefire way to riches. Of course, I never go into how he did it or what's his return on stocks are like. He might even have bought his house with a 80% loan which means the ROI is CRAZY. Just my opinion..
