Rising Inflation? Harry Dent predicts Great Depression Ahead instead...
What might happen in the next few years? In my opinion, there is a possibility of rising inflation, which is why I have 6% of my wealth invested into Gold and Silver.
When inflation rate rises, ALL Real Assets would go up, eg. Oil, Commodities, including Gold and Silver....
However, there is one author Harry S. Dent, JR, who wrote a Book "The Great Depression Ahead", he actually opined that what is likely to happen is a Great Depression (similar to Great Depression in the 1930s rather than high inflation.
Singapore Property Market Outlook, likely to go Up or Down?
I just checked the latest info compiled by URA in 4Q 2009.
The link is here: http://www.ura.gov.sg/realEstateWeb/realEstate/pageflow/supply/submitSearch1.do
Year 2010 expected to have 7,584 private property units completed.
Year 2011 about 9,196.
The main increase in Supply is in year 2012 and year 2013, at 13,246 and 15,492 respectively. In year 2014, the number falls to 9,049.
Thus, based on the numbers, it would appear that year 2010 we are still likely to see Supply insufficient to meet Demand, thereby causing an "upward pressure" on Prices.
