Dubai: Mmmmmmm.

[SuperZ]

Never really folllowed the Dubai rise (and now fall?)closely, but my thoughts (fuelled by alcohol )
Greed
Sheep, follow folllow - bahhhhhhh
What`s worse about capitalism transfered to Dubai
Borrow
Dream world followed by dreamers?
Seems to be a place that has risen from the boom of the last decade or so, fuelled by the very things that have led to our current problems.
Downfall?

Ought to think about diversification before the end of Q1 2010. I am not qualified to give this advice, but my sources reveal that major currency shifts are afoot.

Current market levels are an illusion. If you don't believe me, take a look at the DOW priced in gold.

HTH

Ok we will take advice of someone who is considered a loser on a internet forum! A beggar would garner more respect.

Could you please explain this in layman's terms?

I thought I already did

Diversify in to what? And what does that chart show? Market levels are an illusion - what does that mean? Market levels of what? And what is the reality? Are you just saying I should spend all my money?

Oh, and Diestl. Don't post when you've had more than a couple of beakers of shandy. It makes you sound a bit silly.

Can you distinguish between when he has or hasn't been on the beer? To my mind he sounds like a deprived child, desperate for attention, at that stage just before they start talking and the frustration of not being able to express themselves kicks in.

I've bought commodity stocks, that is companies who have mountain ranges, or ocean gulfs in their balance sheets.

Another good tip is Telco's ....pay out huge dividends, and just swimming in cash. Inflation...no problem, just shove up the rates. Not much in terms of raw materials, once the cables have been laid, they can cash in for the next hundred years.

But good to have investments worldwide, no focus on any currency and invest in companies that have income globally....like oil companies, gas producers, fairly immune from inflation.

...and another tip don't get hooked on charts and stock market movements, look at each stock individually. Look at its earnings, think of yourself as an investor going to a small company not quoted on the stock market and looking at the books, talking to the MD and shoving some money in. Same thing, you invest in that frame of mind you're less likely to get diddled, i.e. invest in an overvalued co. that loses 80% of its value and then doesn't go up again.
