the morgan stanley charts revealed - oh dear, page-73

ut,

consider this hypothetically, if someone bought fmg at 20 cents, it went to 10$ now even if market crashes 90% he may not complain, he is still on huge gains as his entry has been great, still making good divis.

When you keep comparing ur personal situation/entry in property, its like that someone in eg above.
Like him you would be happy coz you are on positive cashflow deep in money.Most of the case argued here is about those on margins, most prone to down turns, more recent enterent in property on 15/20:1 leverage.

As minacks report(based on ato figure) suggest around 80% of investor claiming negative gearing are on income equal or less than 80k per annum, thats not a strong footing at all, it means a huge % of investors(some agrued bfore saviours of housing to take up the baton) are heavily geared and exteremly prone, stagnation of property wont suffice as there strategy mostly relys on capital appreciation.
