Investors betting on firms that could win rebuilding contracts
2008-05-15 02:18:00 Investors betting on firms that could win rebuilding contracts By Goh Eng Yeow INVESTORS have started buying up stocks that are likely to win extra business in the massive reconstruction effort that is expected to follow the deadly Sichuan earthquake. Shares of steel, aluminium and building-materials firms listed in Shanghai and Hong Kong shot up sharply yesterday on expectations that these businesses are in line for lucrative reconstruction contracts. In Singapore, traders bought big on financial instruments called covered warrants linked to Hong Kong-listed China Railway Construction, one of the mainland’s biggest construction firms. These warrants give investors an option to buy into China Railway Construction until September. If the company wins a big Chinese government contract, these investors stand to gain. As fresh details of the devastation emerged, traders began to realise the extent of likely rebuilding efforts - especially given China’s strong position to...
Investors 'need to research market before buying'
2008-05-15 02:00:00 Foreign property buyers from the UK need to carry out thorough research before buying, experts have said. According to the Your Mortgage website, purchasing a home in Spain or France can be just as stressful a process as buying in Britain. Therefore, it has recommended that people who are thinking of entering a foreign market try to reduce the likelihood of encountering problems. The online portal said prospective buyers need to find out as much information about their chosen market as they can. In addition, it suggested that people try to avoid letting the prospect of buying a dream home cloud their judgement. Your Mortgage added: "Dedicated research is even more important when negotiating a sale in another country and, presumably, another language." According to research by A Place in the Sun magazine, France and Spain are currently the two most popular markets with British property buyers.
And Now a Word from Jim Brown of First Investors (Belmont)
2008-05-15 00:31:00 Mortgage rates have remained relatively stable with a slight bump yesterday due to the increase in the T-Bills. Jumbo pricing has gotten alot better so that shouldbring the Jumbo market back into play somewhat. Keep an eye on the adjustables as there is starting to be a big spread on the conventional adjustables versus the fixedrates. Yesterday we had 5.25% with no points on a 5/1 year ARM. These adjustments should make purchasing more attractive to borrowers. Be aware of the lenders who are adjusting for declining markets as we have lenders who are going solely on DU conditions which does not require an adjustment. We can do 95% financing on purchases for singles even in a declining market.Just wanted to tell everyone to keep the community homebuyer program in minds whichprovides a lower downpayment and easier loan qualifications.

Southern Italy recommended to investors
2008-05-14 02:00:00 Foreign property investors have been advised to consider potential opportunities in Italy. The International Property Investment Network (IPIN) said the south of the country is becoming more and more popular with buyers from overseas. Bernardo Retana, director of IPIN, highlighted property in Calabria as one of the main hotspots for foreign investors. Commenting on the region, it said it offers attractions such as unspoiled surroundings, easy access and a growing tourist trade. Therefore, it could be an ideal market for buy-to-let investors who wish to purchase a property in a rapidly expanding market. Mr Retana observed: "Calabria will inevitably become one of the most popular locations over the next five to ten years." He added that the enforcement of strict planning regulations along the coast means it is likely to remain an attractive location. Limits on new building work have been designed to make sure the province retains its natural beauty. According to the ...
Tourism draws investors to Egypt
2008-05-14 02:00:00 The popularity of Egypt as a holiday destination is having a positive effect on its housing market, an expert has revealed. Paul Collins, property editor at BuyAssociation, said the amount of interest in tourist property in Egypt is increasing all the time. He stated that the north African country is especially popular with sun-seekers who want a beach holiday, as well as fans of diving and golf. This, he continued, has prompted many investors to buy a property in major tourist hotspots in an effort to cash in on its growing appeal. Mr Collins commented: "Sharm El Sheikh is the top focus, and Hurghada is another place that is really popular." He added that resorts including Dahab and El Guona, as well as places along Egypt's Mediterranean coastline, are also attracting strong interest from property investors. Earlier this year, BuyAssociation predicted that Egypt would be one of 2008's main investment hotspots.

Brazil to attract more foreign investors
2008-05-13 02:00:00 Independent property analysts have predicted a surge of interest in the Brazilian market in the near future. According to NuBricks.com, Standard and Poor's has just upgraded the country's credit rating to triple-B-minus. This has prompted the website to suggest that this will lead to renewed interest in the South American nation among foreign investors. Experts at the online portal believe that the current demand for residential property in Brazil will continue to increase. However, this latest development means that property firms will now be able to reduce the sale price of many of their offerings. Therefore, investors could be able to enter a fast-growing market at a much lower price. NuBricks.com remarked: "With greater economic prosperity comes an improved property market and the potential for capital growth." This comes after the website revealed that the Brazilian economy is likely to experience growth of about 4.8 per cent this year.

AZ: For Pinal Co. Investors
2008-05-08 00:00:00 Well, here is an update for real estate investors in Arizona and specifically, in Pinal County. And there are a LOT of us! Pinal County was a hotbed of growth a few years ago and it was also an area where investors, for the most part, were welcome to buy. It was more challenging for an investor to buy in more "established" areas of Maricopa Co., so Pinal Co. saw a lot of investor activity. Here is an update from a recent report: Pinal County median home price drops in first quarter MESA, Ariz. ? Since 625 resale homes were recorded sold in third quarter 2007, the Pinal County resale market has consistently posted improvement, with 1,145 sales in the fourth quarter and 1,6
Angel Customers - A New Breed of Investors?

I personally would atleast think so. Such an act is definitely an excellent form of attestation to the product/service and would stand as a great testimony beyond doubt.

Investors to benefit from new Dubai flights
2008-05-07 02:00:00 Owners of property in Dubai could be set to benefit from the launch of new flights to the region. According to the Chicago Tribune, United Airlines is preparing to introduce direct services from Washington at the end of October. This suggests that the United Arab Emirates could be set to see an increase in visitor numbers during the following months. As a result, people who own rental accommodation in Dubai may be able to cash in on the greater demand for temporary lodgings. Furthermore, the increased interest in the region should encourage further growth in its housing market, which means investors' assets will appreciate in value. A United Airlines spokesperson was quoted as saying that the carrier wants to tap into the Dubai market because it is a "thriving" economy. He commented: "Commerce and tourism are growing exponentially in Dubai." Since 2002, more than 100,000 Britons have purchased property in Dubai, according to Barclays.

News : Investors eye Yahoo's alternatives to Microsoft
2008-05-05 17:15:00 By Michele Gershberg and Anupreeta Das NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc faced growing pressure on Sunday to find an alternative strategy to Microsoft Corp's $47.5 billion takeover offer after the software maker walked away over a disagreement on price. Yahoo shares could fall by more than 30 percent on Monday over the breakdown of talks, but that drop could be softened if Wall Street believes Yahoo Chief Executive Jerry Yang has another strategy up his sleeve, analysts said. Yahoo is likely to push for an advertising partnership with Web search leader Google Inc, sources familiar with the matter said. A tie-up with Google, seen as a big winner from the end of Microsoft-Yahoo talks, should help boost Yahoo's operating performance in the near term. "It's time to get a move on with Google," said Jeffrey Lindsay, analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein. "Let's hope they weren't bluffing." Yahoo is also still considering a deal with another Intern...
