Taken from another forum:
The economy is bad now. To make it good, we can do the
following:-
1) Everybody should sell off all his stocks and unit trusts and
mutual funds. This will force fund houses to sell, resulting in
lower prices and higher yields. New REIT IPOs will then have to
price at 10%.
2) Sell out of all properties, and rent instead. This will force
many housing agents out of business, resulting in lower commission
rates. Housing loan rates will also come down, and so will prices
of homes. This will make 5-room flats affordable at $30,000
3) Stop engaging advice from firnancial advisors, invest planners,
life insurance agents etc... These will lower brokerage costs and
commissions.
4) With lower activity all around, price of oil will come
down
5) Rent DVDs instead, or buy from Malaysia. This will force movie
tickets to come back down to $4.00
6) SEll all cars and private vehicles and take public transport.
Cars will then be affordable from $3,000 to $15,000
(like that, SMRT Shares will go up!)
