Stocks - 2008 again? Time to buy?

[Itchy Spender]

In 2008, Citibank was at 1.50, Caterpillar was at 7.00, etc.  In retrospect, they were good buys and there were big returns (200-500%) to be made within 2 years.

Are we there again?

[P.O.D.]

I think so.
General Electric, Alstom, Caterpillar, Apple.... and Pharmaceuticals...
Perhaps is deliberate disruption in the market to create opportunities.

Those are my choices. Any others?

Forget about stock market, invest in SG property.

Can never go down one.

SG Properties are only now getting back to the real (not adjusted) price levels they were in the late 1990's crash.  So, while they may or not be good investments, they are not without massive potential risk.

I was just being sarcastic.  As a matter of fact, luxury property prices have fallen this year. Personally I hope prices wouldn't dip as I'm selling now so we can finally leave this place.

Bad time to sell. Try early next year, you'll get a bit more.

I invested in financial sector funds 3 months ago... very bright idea

OK, now it's really starting to look good...some stocks that pay dividends are now at near 20% annual returns (ex CIM).
