Negative Interest Rates Could Trigger Another Housing Market Bubble / Housing-Market / Global Housing Markets
By: Sol_Palha
"From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned." ~ Emile Durkheim
Sweden is already in the mature stages of experiencing a housing crisis. Take a look at the chart below. Home prices are surging simply because it is cheap to borrow money. The lower the interest payments, the more you can borrow. Hence, individuals throw caution to the wind and start chasing property because they believe prices will continue trending upwards. What they forget is that no market can trend upward forever.

By: Casey_Research
By Nick Giambruno
Financial privacy is essentially dead.
I think it’s only prudent to assume that sooner or later all the details of your financial life will come to rest in a government computer—if they haven’t done so already—and to plan accordingly.

Swiss Franc Hurts Homeowners but Could Be a Boon for Investors / Housing-Market / Global Housing Markets
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: When the Swiss National Bank de-pegged from the euro last month, the fallout was massive.
One dramatic example of its impact was that felt by Miami-based hedge fund manager Everest Capital. The firm's largest single fund lost nearly all its capital, $830 million in assets, thanks to heavy bets that the Swiss franc would decline.
Alpari UK, a foreign exchange broker, became insolvent. New York's FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM), an online foreign exchange trading firm, got a $300 million lifeline from Leucadia National Corp. (NYSE: LUK).

Global Housing Markets - Don’t Buy A Home, You’ll Get Burned! / Housing-Market / Global Housing Markets
By: Raul_I_Meijer
Europe had hundreds of inspectors check 130 banks for a year in that stress test. Who do you think picked up the tab for that? And what did Europe’s taxpayers get in return? As I’m looking right now, they got falling stocks and 3 Italian banks in which trading was halted. What was the ECB’s goal with the tests again?
Oh right, to restore confidence in the markets … Well, with WTI oil falling fast below $80, I think we can now confidently say the Boys of Brussels are either not up to the job, or they’re letting the whole caboodle rapidly drift south on purpose. Probably a bit of both.

Dubai Residential is NOT a Property Bubble But the Party’s Over / Housing-Market / Global Housing Markets
By: Andrew_Butter
The sentiment of the experts at 2014 Cityscape Global is that Dubai residential property is “cooling”. That said, the words “bubble” and “bust” are studiously avoided, almost as if a communications guideline had been issued.Depending on who you talk to...prices went up easily by 50% and perhaps by 70% over the past five years since the bottom in early 2009; everyone appears to agree that they are back to where they were in January 2008. What happened between then and now is a subject of collective amnesia as are many of the statements made at the 2008 Cityscape...for example the spectacularly miss-timed pronouncement by one expert... “Investors say 2009 will be the best year for real estate investment in MENA, ever”.

Housing Market Bubbles - Time to Go Short, Here Come Those Experts Again / Housing-Market / Global Housing Markets
By: Fred_Sheehan
The February 2, 2013, edition of The Economist presented a rousing endorsement for Scandinavian living. ("Cecil Rhodes once said that 'to be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life.' Today the same could be said about being born Nordic.") The front cover ("The Next Supermodel: Why the World Should Look to the Nordic Countries") followed by an editorial and a 14-page supplement, cited the authority of 37 experts. Nowhere did the esteemed magazine mention three of the largest housing bubbles in the world. This does not serve the Economist's constituent short sellers. More fundamentally, it betrays the establishment's blank slate of lessons learned from the past decade.
