It was interesting to see that your reply was basically copying my reply to you earlier, and then saying

You do realise that I had asked you to quote what I said, followed by you copying that and asking me to quote what I said you said, before you talked about me using your replies in reply to you...

The reason I ask is because I've seen "cash" investors in Dubai who were in reality simply speculators who only paid the booking/initial deposit in cash.

Not surprising then that they burnt their arms badly when it all went belly up!

NSW Residential properties
48% Mortgaged
52% Fully owned

QLD Residential properties
52% Mortgaged
48% Fully owned


But those are current totals.

I am sure there are figures for numbers of monthly mortgages, and monthly property sales somewhere.

But what if it doesn't ?
The US/Aussie stock market has rallied 60% (approx) from it's lows, the bounce is now over and we'll resume the downward trend in the coming months. This is what happened in 1929, The Wall Street Crash, market recovered 57% and then ............ dumped. We are entering a prolonged world depression unfortunately, as much as I hate the thought of this occuring, it's happenening and now unavoidable.

Yes, I do!

99% of them contain purely statistics which DO make sense with not much personal comment from yourself.

Without stats....... it's plain for all to see!
