gurantee must go down alot in this year & next year! since the RE price in Van is rediculuously high & ppl who couldn't afford the RE can only buy it b/c of the loose financial check & big loan long term (like 35 year for 5% or even 0% downpayment)...

Now everything has changed! u see the RE market in USA (esp for those big cities for the price that double in the last 5 years now has come down dramatically) , u are pretty much watching the RE market in Van this year & next year.

I didn't say the local prices will stand strong. I mean the total opposite... that "the one has gone up must come down"... just think the price is not affordable for most of the average income Vancouverites (how many of us making $120,000 as a total family income annually; since we can only afford 1/3 of our income for housing cost not only including mortgage but tax & maintenance & everything else)???
if nobody can afford the price in this high without Loose finanical control over borrowing, i don't think the demand & supply curve will keep the price in Vancouver RE this high for a long time....

so local price in Van RE must go down. Gurantee.  (in Long term like 10 to 20 years, that's another story since u gotta include the fact of inflation & blahblahblah)

yes.. i agree 溫哥華真係有錢人多... esp those mainstream retirees (or near retired age).... lots of them in West Van.. but they're the one who're affected the most since they get most of the $ put into the stock market & RRSP... which has fallen sooo sharply lately....

personally I dont' think the RE will fall like back to 2003 price, but a big drop is unpreventable... good luck to all of u !

回復 15# 的帖子

well i understand that they invested cheap like long ago.. but when u see your RRSP $ just drop down like 30 - 40% off like within this month.. (most of my fd RRSP who are "moderately risk" has dropped in this range) & don't see it will come back in a short term, it definitely affects how they will spend their $...

李嘉誠煞停全球新投資
和黃持盈保泰 七成現金 2008年10月24日
廣 告






【明報專訊】金融海嘯把環球經濟推進寒冬,香港藍籌企業開始收緊擴充步伐。香港富商李嘉誠的旗艦公司和記黃埔,決定暫時煞停全球業務的新投資。在明年中之前,所有未落實或未作承擔的開支都會省下來,並要檢討全部投資項目。和黃是香港多個行業的龍頭,聘用了近3萬人,是本港最大的私人僱主。

美資證券商花旗前天起在澳門舉辦投資者會議,邀請了和黃財務董事陸法蘭出席。花旗昨日發表的報告,披露了和黃(0013)管理層在會上提出的「持盈保泰」策略,和黃在明年6月底前,將凍結所有未落實的投資開支(uncommitted spending),並檢討全部現有投資項目。

管理層強調沒持高風險投資產品

和黃更採取異常保守的理財手法,目前持有的221億美元(約1724億港元)資金,有多達69%、即接近1190億港元是現金,其餘主要投資在最穩陣的政府債券上,意味股票僅佔一個很小的比重。和黃管理層強調,完全沒有投資企業債券、結構性投資工具和累計期權(accumulator)產品,也沒有來自對活動的收入和盈利。

料決定對港經濟有重大影響

和黃發言人回應本報記者查詢時表示,花旗報告引述公司管理層所指的不會有新增開支,是指還未落實的投資支出,並不涉及已落實的計劃。消息指出,和黃是因應環球經濟環境的變化,投資的風險有變,因而下了有關決定。

和黃主席李嘉誠在評估趨勢、拿時機上,一向眼光獨到,在這次源於美國次按問題的環球金融海嘯全面爆發之前,他已不止一次針對股市泡沫和環球經濟前景提出警告(詳見另文)。

作為本港首富李嘉誠旗下商業旗艦的和黃,業務遍佈全球57個國家,僱員總人數超過22萬,單是在本港就有近3萬人,是本港多個行業的龍頭,經營範圍包括超級市場、流動通訊公司及貨櫃碼頭等,和黃今次的投資決定,會對本港經濟發展有重大影響。

股價今年挫52% 市值1800億

相對於「還未落實或未作承擔(uncommitted)」的投資,已承擔(committed)的投資通常指已簽約和已批准但未簽約的項目,以和黃的香港貨櫃碼頭業務為例,根據其2007年年報顯示,截至去年底的已承擔資本開支有4.4億元。和黃在全球全部業務的已作承擔資本開支總額,則數以百億元計。和黃去年賺306億元,股價今年已下挫52%,市值1800億元。



去年早看出隱憂 勸人勿借錢炒股 2008年10月24日
廣 告






【明報專訊】中小企一家接一家倒閉、公司裁員潮接踵而至……金融海嘯的巨浪,終於正面衝擊本港的實體經濟,有人或許會感到突然,但其實早於去年當大家還沉醉於屢創新高的股市時,長和系主席李嘉誠已告誡大家美國經濟問題將波及香港,還苦口婆心的勸股民不要借錢炒股。

當一度被譽為「亞洲股神」的「四叔」李兆基高呼恒指會衝上4萬點之時,李嘉誠自去年起,每次出席業績發布或股東大會時,總叫大家「量力而為」。去年中,他先為內地股市的泡沫擔憂;到了8月,「港股直通車」掩蓋了美國次按風暴,他更直指美國經濟會波及香港。及至今年,股市急挫,當雷曼兄弟未破產,部分股民以為「見底」時,他再一次說,香港最壞的時候仍未到,「從今天到明年,(股市)投機要非常小心,投資在此時是否好時間,就要研究經濟,我認為要小心,這是我的肺腑之言」。

今次金融海嘯,李嘉誠掌舵的和黃,決定減省未落實的投資;而在以往的金融風暴中,長和系則試過逆市擴張。在2001至03年間,經濟不景氣,和黃經歷了幾年凍薪,但當時李嘉誠親自承諾不會裁員,也不會減少在港的投資;遠至1998年金融風暴後,和黃也曾凍薪。

然而2005年初,和黃旗下的和記電訊國際卻因政府收回CDMA牌照,令公司經營前景不明朗,突然宣布裁員750人,佔當時總員工約3900人的兩成。
