Bro - read carefully. I never said I could predict.

I say I play the odds.

- Buy at all time high - odds against.
- Buy when interest rates can only go up - odds against
- Buy when record amount of TOP in both private and hdb is due over next 3 yrs - odds against
- Buy when govt is doing everything they can to bring down the market to a soft landing (which is always the target but almost never achieved) - odds against
- Global uncertainty - odds against
- Positive local liquidity - odds for
- Continued low interest rate environment - odds for

Based on above, I'm happy to take the downside bet. Of course you never know for sure, but you have to make a fair attempt to try figure these things out with whatever data you can get your hands on, knowing full well the limitations of imperfect information.

Well, there's also the buy-and-pray strategy I suppose. To each his own.
