Brace for fire in some buildings. Wayo rules in these situations. This is the Nigerianization of the world of finance.

I am actually wondering about it. Do you have a link to that news story?

hello macrolla, re <<Run on HK real estate collapse too>>

... looks, by 20/20 hindsight, the combination pair trade involving long gold (890 on the date of your post, now 7% higher), short debt (1.25% borrowing rate in the interim since your post), long hk real estate (now 45-50% higher since the bad old days and terrible long nights of september 2008), would have worked out quite well ;0)

where are you these days?

recommendation: persevere in gold, for it is effectively still at an all-time low, and forward march on hk real estate, especially the absolutely inexpensive type in way of redevelopment paths and rejuvenation junctures, because the best days are still ahead.

cheers, tj
