Last week A Tsunami smashed into Palu & Donggala - wiping out the lives of over a thousand careless people.

In this coming financial tsunami many will lose 30%, 40%, 50% or up to 90% of their capital if punt carelessly

So better play safe.

Here are some Tsunami Sheltered Investments for the next foreseeable future

1) INVEST IN SHARES OF HIGH NET CASH OR HIGH NTA

This was what happened to those who climbed up a Car Park when tsunami struck. All on high ground were safe. All foolish and foolhardy ones perished.

WHAT ARE THESE SHARES?

Answer:

TA ENTERPRIZE

INSAS

EKSONS

GUH

ECS ICT

CSCSTEEL

DUTALAND

TALAM

L&G

KWANTAS

TDM

MUI BHD OR MUIPROP BHD

MPHBCAPITAL

THESE ARE SHARES BACKED BY HIGH NET CASH OR HIGH NET ASSETS

What else?

LANDED HOUSES IN BOOMING ISKANDAR

WHY LANDED HOUSES IN BOOMING ISKANDAR AND NOT OTHER PARTS OF MALAYSIA?

ANSWER:

REASON NO. 1

HIGH PAYING JOBS FROM JOHOREANS WORKING IN SINGAPORE

1/3 OF THE JB ECONOMY DEPENDS ON SINGAPORE. AND THE PURCHASING POWER OF THESE WORKERS IN SINGAPORE STAYING IN JB HAVE 3 TIMES THE PURCHASING POWER AS ONE SING DOLLAR IS WORTH RM3.00

REASON NO. 2

JOHOR SINGLE STOREY HOUSES AND DOUBLE STOREY HOUSES ARE STILL VERY CHEAP IN COMPARISON TO THOSE SIMILAR ONES OF KL AND PENANG OR EVEN SELANGOR

SO WHILE THE PEOPLE OF JOHOR ARE BENEFITTING FROM A VERY STRONG CURRENCY BOOST THE HOUSE PRICES ARE SO INEXPENSIVE

THEREFORE PRICES MUST RISE TO MATCH THOSE OF KL OR PENANG ONE DAY

TO BUY NOW IS TO LOCK INTO DEEP VALUE (ESPECIALLY THOSE PRICED BETWEEN RM300K TO RM500K IN THE SECONDARY MARKET)

REASON NO. 3

THE RENT OF A HDB ROOM IN SINGAPORE IS S$500 TO $600 OR RM1,500 TO RM1,800 FOR A SMALL ROOM IN AN ORDINARY FLAT WITHOUT SECURITY OR SWIMMING POOL

IN JB YOU CAN GET A  WHOLE HOUSE WITH 3 ROOMS FOR RM1,000. SO DEMAND IN JB IS HOT HOT.

REASON NO.4

THOSE LANDED FREEHOLD HOUSES IN JB (AVOID ALL HIGH RISE CONDOS IN JB AS THERE IS A GLUT) ARE LITERAL GOLD MINES

LAND IS NOW VERY SCARCE IN JB DOWNTOWN. SO THOSE HOUSES (LANDED) ARE GOING TO BE LIKE THE ONES IN BANGSAR. WILL ONLY GO UP AND UP FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

REASON NO. 5

OVER IN SINGAPORE MANY HDB FLATS ARE NOW CROSSING THE 50TH YEAR THRESHOLD.... THOSE IN TIONG BAHRU, REDHILL, ANG MO KIO, TOA PAYOH, MARINE PARADE NOW 40 TO 50 YEARS OLD WILL SEE GRADUAL DEPRECIATION TILL THEY LOSE ALL THEIR CAPITAL. AND BANKS WILL NO LONGER LEND TO THESE HDB FLATS BUYERS ONCE LEASE REMAIN LESS THAN 30 YEARS. AND ONCE EXPIRED LIKE THOSE IN GEYLANG THEY BECOME WORTHLESS AS LAND WILL BE SURRENDERED TO THE SINGAPORE GOVT.

IN SINGAPORE ALMOST EVERYTHING IS LEASEHOLD

ALL CARS, VANS, JEEPS, BUS AND LORRIES AND EVEN MOTOR BIKES HAVE A 10 YEAR LEASE.  WHEN 10 YEAR LEASE IS UP ALL THESE VEHICLES WILL BE SCRAPPED UNLESS YOU BUY ANOTHER 10 YEAR COE (CERIFICATES OF ENTITLEMENTS) WHICH COST RM90,000 (S$30K) JUST FOR THE PAPER ALONE.

SO ARE GOVT HDB FLATS OR LOW COST HOUSES OR EVEN EC (GOVT CONDOS). ALL HAVE ONLY LEASEHOLD LIFESPANS

IN ANOTHER 5 TO 10 YEARS TIME WHEN SINGAPOREANS WAKE UP TO SEE TOTAL LOSS OF VALUE IN THESE LEASEHOLD ASSETS THERE WILL BE A MAD SCRAMBLE INTO FREEHOLD ASSETS

AND ALL THESE HOUSES WITH FREEHOLD TITLES IN JB WILL BE IN HOT HOT DEMAND

THE TRICK IS TO BUY NOW

REASON NO. 6

THE CUMULATIVE FDI (FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS) IN JOHOR IS A MIND BOGGLING RM350 BILLIONS

VS HAS A BIG FACTORY IN SENAI EXPORTING CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANER TO THE WHOLE WORLD

SO THERE WILL BE GOOD JOBS IN JB FOR YEARS TO COME

REASON NO. 7

WITH THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IN SINGAPORE PLUS AN AGEING POPULATION EXPECT AN INCREASING NUMBER OF SINGAPOREANS TO RETIRE IN JB - THUS PUSHING UP THE VALUE OF JB ASSETS

SO THERE YOU ARE. JB LANDED HOUSES ARE REAL TSUNAMI SHELTERED ROCK SOLID INVESTMENTS

AND MORE SO BECAUSE JOHOR IS FREE FROM EARTHQUAKE, TYPHOON OR TSUNAMI

AS DISASTER AFTER DISASTER STRIKE THE WORLD MORE AND MORE JAPANESE, INDONESIANS AND EVEN SINGAPOREANS WILL MIGRATE TO BOOMING ISKANDAR

WARM REGARDS
