The Role Of Online Stock Brokers
In this ever-fluctuating financial world, it is very difficult to know the best way to go about making your money work for you. For generations the stock exchange has given consumers the opportunity to invest their money into companies that they felt would perform solidly, thus increasing the worth of their stock. In essence, the stock market acts as a facilitator between buyers and sellers, as they exchange stock that they hold in companies.These companies use the money they receive from their investors to further their business and increase profits; increased profit means a higher worth for the stock. And round and round it goes. Traditionally, those looking to invest went to a stock broker in any nu

by building up (high rise condos) in these areas. And since the vast majority of people prefer a single family home and builder’s are expected to build less of it in these areas, these types of homes will also see a rise in price.

To sum up so far, a bubble is fueled by artificial demand unjustified by fundamentals (normal supply and demand) – people begin to buy and sell based purely on speculation with no current market justifications for the higher demand. Real estate has a consistent rising demand and a limited supply which is unexpected to change anytime soon.

There is a lot of speculation and fear about the bubble in the marketplace. While bubble concerns are visible in some marketplaces in the US and perhaps Vancouver, is there a cause for concern for the rest of Canada?

The Normal Market

Similar to the stock market, real estate market also has a cycle. First, there is the annual cycle of certain months being slower months than others – winter is slow time, summer is usually more active time for buyers and sellers. Second, demand & supply, interest rates will cause occasional adjustments in the marketplace.

It is important to note that a “Bubble” is not part of the normal market cycle. It is an artificial rise in demand – which is unjustified by fundamentals usually fueled by speculation, misinformation and greed.

What is a Bubble?

In the dot com era, technology stocks were trading at extremely high price-earning ratios, which were not supported by market fundamentals – that is, the stock valuation had a weak correlation to the profitability of the company; rather it was based on expectation (speculation). People expected dot com companies to be the waive of the future and were willing to finance it, these companies had no real income or collateral to back up the equity loans they were taking out. While some dot com companies made it big, like Amazon and Google, the vast majority failed. The technology bubble burst due to one simple reason, all of these companies came out at the same time causing an excess of supply with no corresponding rise in demand for the products it offered. Buying and trading was being done almost solely on dreams of future cash. That is the basis of almost all, if not all, “bubbles”.

What about Real Estate Bubble?

In contrast, real estate is a basic need – everyone needs a place to stay. It has a finite supply – land is scarce since no one is making anymore of it. In addition, artificial barriers introduced by government (greenbelt, conservation land, farm land) cause land to be even more scarce and push the demand up for other available land for development purposes.

Population is on the rise largely due to immigration, demand is boosted for real estate around business hubs (like Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal). Since land is more expensive in these areas, developers will likely address the higher density issue by building up (high rise condos) in these areas. And since the vast majority of people prefer a single family home and builder’s are expected to build less of it in these areas, these types of homes will also see a rise in price.

Immediate Annuities, A Good Deal?
I have been reading a lot about immediate annuities lately and I really have to address this question, are immediate annuities any good now a days? I will say this, they have their place. They are not what I would call the best vehicle for many people. These instruments have there place in a portfolio, but why would you want one in today’s world?An immediate annuity is great for people who want income for a specified number of years or for the rest of their life. The problem with an immediate annuity is the income is fixed, forever. There is absolutely no chance to keep up with inflation. These types of investments may make sense for a potion of your portfolio, but not a big portion.I read yeste

How Can I Stop Getting Spam?
Are you getting too much spam? We all are, but if you're a webmaster the word spam takes on a whole new meaning.It’s not uncommon for the luckiest of email users to receive a dozen or so spam messages each day, while those of us who aren’t so fortunate receive hundreds.The casual home user tends to be more fortunate, so this article is devoted to those of us with one or more website because webmasters are getting hit by spam … and hit hard.The reason … a website doesn’t do you much good if you don’t give potential customers a way to contact you, and that normally means posting an email address on your website, where it is vulnerable to email address harvesting tools used by spammers.

It’s all up for Real Estate?

Does this mean that the housing prices will not fall, absolutely not. As part of normal real estate cycle, prices will occasionally adjust to reflect the current supply and demand situation of the market.

Let’s first look at the crash of the 90’s to see if similar fundamentals are visible in today’s market place.

Crash of the 90’s

Over 30% of the people buying in the Toronto area in the 90’s were investors, with consistently rising interest rates, these investors could no longer afford the financing costs which caused them to either sell or be foreclosed on by the banks, which caused an excess supply of properties (especially condos) in the marketplace; the excess supply caused the prices to fall. The falling in prices caused investors who had crystallized their losses recently to stay away from the market place (further lowering demand). And end buyers noticed the falling trend and decided to wait a little longer hoping that the property values would drop further and properties could be picked up for a bargain. This waiting game lasted years.

Last year, only 19% of the condos in Toronto were rental units (according to CMHC’s Housing Market Outlook from the second half of 2005) and vacancy rates are dropping. This is because more people are buying for themselves and not on speculation. So even if the rental markets slowed and vacancy rates started to rise, the real estate market is not likely to be flooded like they were in the early 90’s.

Affordability

A major factor that caused the adjustment in the early 90’s was the interest rates. In May of 1990 the interest rates were a whopping 14.21% (according it CMHC), making mortgage payments $11.89 for every thousand dollars of your mortgage. This would make a $400,000 mortgage cost $4,755.97 per month. You can currently get a 5-year mortgage at a rate of about 5.25% or $5.96 per thousand dollars on your mortgage. This means that a $400,000 mortgage today will cost you $2,383.67 per month. That means that the effective cost of owning a house is half the amount that you would pay back in 1990 and yet the average price is only 5%-10% higher now than it was in 1989.

Conclusion

The adjustment in the early 1990s was a response to too many speculators and excessively high interest rates. In the late 90s and until now there h
