Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostPlenty of soft-hanging fruit, just look at the commodities markets. In the 1980's oil was very expensive. You can buy cheap mining and oil shares.
When anyone bought the soft-hanging fruit in 1990 it dropped by 25% in 5 years.
I suspect house prices will drop at some point.
Takes courage to buy soft-hanging fruit because usually it's dropping like a stone.Comment

Everything that's a "soft hanging fruit" is a falling knife.
If you follow this forum you'd note we're all buying up mining and oil companies.
There's no such thing as soft hanging fruit that just simply jumps up in price.
The housing price recovery lasted all of 2 years, after that everyone moaned they were too expensive or before it was a "falling knife".Last edited by BlasterBates; 14 December 2015, 15:58.I'm alright JackComment
