The Rise is now topping out - work is progressing on the Top floor That's West End Square above the Caltex station: " The high rise building, Eton’s fifth condominium project in Makati City, is strategically-located along Malugay Street near Chino Roces Avenue and steps away from Ayala Avenue and Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue. In the pipeline are studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units which 8F Allied Bank Center 6754 Ayala Avenue, Makati City will be complemented by retail spaces at the lower ground floor of the building. Within the mixed-use development is a planned boutique mall and a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) office building, which will cater to professionals in the outsourcing business. >more at http://www.mb.com.ph/eton-sees-stead...0tQbAEMgW3U.99 : planned: 46 floors in the Towers I wonder if the finished project will look anything like the render, above. As a knowledgeable cynic on SSC put it: " Rest be assured that the final product would be a downgrade in terms of façade design, quality of finishing and certainly a delayed turnover of more than a year." Some tenants at the Rise will find part of their open view is blocked.

Is Boni-Shaw area going to be the "Mongkok of Manila"? (Mongkok means "crowded corner" and is a crowded but popular part, right in the center of Kowloon in Hong Kong) The new bridge will connect Mandaluyong (Boni-Shaw & Kapitoloyo) to Lawton Ave. in BGC ... from a Viber chat today ... J- : I’m looking at it from the local point of view.... That (comparative price) data might be talking about the whole of the Mandaluyong area. But the whole city (of Mandaluyong) is not that nice DB: Mandy is like Mongkok in Hong Kong, which is very near where I live. Mongkok = means "crowded corner" and it is the most crowded place on the planet. That's good and bad. I have watched it slowly become more live-able over the years. Boni-Shaw area is the "Mongkok of Manila" - what I reckon will happen over time is the "social infrastructure will improve progressively" = more restaurants, coffee shops, co-working spaces. Doctors clinics, -- all that stuff. Meantime, people from Hong Kong and mainland China may discover it, and it could remind them of "back home" J- : Yeah I go there from time to time. I see the similarities your pointing out. One thing with Mandaluyong is they have a lot small roads and many squatters. Mandy Edsa is a good place and pioneer reliance area would develop well it’s the other side that’s a problem DB: Squatters? ...depends on the area. The territory between Boni station and Shaw Station, called Greenfield district is what interest me most right now. The opposite side, beyond EDSA, will not connect easily to BGC, and I don't favor that J- : That should be good. Mrt stations are nearby DB: I met the CFO of Greenfield on holiday years ago, and I have been watching the area change and improve. I call the Greenfield-plus area "Boni-Shaw" and a few of us from the meetup made a field trip there a few months ago, One or two are already investing there J- : I guess the data is the whole city not like greenfield district. That Greenfield part is looking like it’s going to be nice. DB: That's a Night Street in Mongkok Boni-Shaw is still pretty cheap, and I am focused on small properties under the P2.5million VAT threshold Mongkok is even MORE crowded than Boni-Shaw it has a great "social infrastructure" and even includes one or more Michelin star restaurants J- : It’s been a while since I went at night, I do go mornings or afternoons since we stay at tung Chung. Yes those units I believe will do well (I believe) DB: It is interesting to hear that Jack Ma, the Founder of Alibaba, and currently the "richest man in China" has been buying units there (in the heart of the Boni-Shaw area.) Until now, not really discovered by the mainland chinese, but that may happen J- : Seems like he’ll be the one selling to the mainlanders after it’s completed DB: I think he will open an business in BGC and wants to put some employees in decent but cheaper accommodation in Boni-Shaw. Another mainlander bought 40% of a building last year, and the price skyrocketed after that. I have been tracking that one, since one of my HK friends owns there, and I own in a "sister" building. Prices are up by about 50% in three years. J- : I don’t know why he’s doing it...but making it for his employees and at the same time investing in properties is a good strategy DB: I presume he wants to know that some key employees will be able to afford to live close to his BGC office Another Mongkok photo. Will Boni Shaw have this density some day? J- : That much people yes but you won’t see them. Most likely they’re inside the malls DB: I think the streets will come alive there, and you may even see some of the second floor retail that you see in Mongkok and Causeway bay ... eventually. There are some good malls nearby, mainly the Shangrila Mall, ...Plus Star mall, and the Greenfield mall, right next to Shaw station. If the transformation comes, it may start with; restauarants, coffee shops, and themed retail - like sneaker street in Mongkok J- : Maybe it will take some time. Behind those condos are still factories and main offices of some big companies and it will take some time for them to relocate if they decide so DB: The factories are getting replaced, and SM, Robinson, Ayala, Cityland and other developers are very active in the area, Cityland probably has the best yields, as W-- can tell you J- : Cityland has been there a long time and their development are always doing good yet I don’t see them advertise or sell aggressively DB: I agree. Their investors always make money -- but without fanfare ... There are also some other projects I like (such as Avida's), which you may be able to enter at below the P 2.5 million VAT threshold. But there are now fewer and fewer now that the threshold has dropped from P3,2 to 2,5 million. And with the right plan, you might do well buying above that level too... Some of the Attractions of Mongkok: + Many hotels + Night Market, Ladies market, Flower market, + Street Food + Sneaker Street + Goldfish market

GOT HIM! Does this mark the beginning of the Trump Counter-attack? JUSTICE At Long LAST ! Scumbag McCabe loses Pension! Sessions fires ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe days before retirement WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Friday night that he was firing former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a longtime and frequent target of President Donald Trump’s anger, just two days before his scheduled retirement date. The move, which had been expected, was made on the recommendation of FBI disciplinary officials and comes ahead of an inspector general report expected to conclude that McCabe was not forthcoming with the watchdog office as it reviewed the bureau’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Sessions said in a statement that investigators “concluded that Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions.” McCabe immediately disputed the findings in his own statement, saying the firing was part of a Trump administration “war” on the FBI. “I am being singled out and treated this way because of the role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James Comey,” McCabe said, referring to the former FBI director who was fired by Trump last May. Though McCabe had spent more than 20 years as a career FBI official, and had played key roles in some of the bureau’s most recent significant investigations, Trump repeatedly condemned him over the last year as emblematic of an FBI leadership he contends is biased against his administration. The White House had said the firing decision was up to the Justice Department but seemed to signal this week that it would welcome the move. see also McCabe is fighting to keep his pension The termination is symbolic to an extent, since McCabe had been on leave from the FBI since last January, when he abruptly left the deputy director position. But it comes just ahead of his planned retirement, on Sunday, and puts his ability to receive pension benefits into jeopardy. (( McCabe's pension money should be given to Michael Flynn )) > MORE that needs to happen: More Justice for More Criminals!

"GREAT DEALS" for Chinese Bulk buyers? Are maybe not so great, if you compare with (cheaper) Secondary market prices video: MP4 "one bedroom 26.5 starts from 7m" - at RED residences, that''s P 264 k psm - a (false?) Billboard price? "SMDC and Megaworld are working with Chinese brokers on "special bulk purchase deals". Example: In Dec 2017, SMDC remaining Jazz inventory were valued at ~240k/sqm. Chinese brokers started distributing "special cash deal" with discounts of 30%-35% that lowered the selling price to ~160k-170k/sqm. This allows Chinese brokers to market "great deals" to their customers. This allows developers to get higher prices for their inventory (Jazz are going ~130-140k/sqm in resale market). This makes the Chinese buyers feel happy that they got a big discount and a great deal. " > SSC Note: Go to bottom of the previous page to find a real bargain at The Rise (4.3m / 28 = P153k vs. P200k+ from the developer)

I think that Empire East must have very few units left - and the "Real" price now would be determined by action in the secondary market. Anyone who fails to look there, and pays 20%+ more to the developer could be wasting their money, if they could have found what they wanted from a secondhand seller === In properties like The Rise, Secondhand sales are happening at P 4.3 million (or so) now, while the Developer offers units 30% higher > see:

I think the ability to make a big price increase "stick" at SanLo Place may depend on the layouts. The 2BR's with square living rooms, and the only light coming from the BR windows is not a great layout imho. I like the end units, where there is another window on the side (like above) - much brighter! Down, Chino Roces, next to WalterMart, and so a 10 minute walk from Greenbelt, is a project with a similar name: High-floor. AVIDA SanLo studio units are now being valued at P 140k psm (or higher) by some agents. I think that is reasonable given the rumored price levels at Avida Wyeth, and announced prices at SM's RED residences On the other hand, SLP's location, attached to Magallanes station ought to be a good plus. (Provided the trains on the MRT start running in a more timely fashion.)

(Here's another Columbian miner, also worth a look): Major Colombia Gold Miner at a Great Entry Point A miner with a large project in Colombia is going to acquire its spin-out company, and technical analyst Clive Maund sees this stock as an immediate strong buy. CA:R / Red Eagle Mining Corp. (TOR) ... 2-yrs : Red Eagle Mining Corp. (R:TSX; RDEMF:OTCQX; R:BVL) describes itself as Colombia's premier emerging gold producer, and its biggest project is the San Ramon mine not far from Medellin. It is an interesting time to look at it because the news came out after the market closed on Friday that it is to acquire Red Eagle Exploration, although this is as much a merger as a takeover, and it is noteworthy that Red Eagle Mining already owned 76% of the shares of Red Eagle Exploration prior to this announcement. This amalgamation will result in a combined company with bigger scope and more properties and will reduce costs, and is not seen as negative in any way for the shareholders of either company. The details may be read in Red Eagle Mining and Red Eagle Exploration Announce Amalgamation. On the 8-year chart we can see the entire history of Red Eagle Mining stock. After starting trading at a high level in 2011 it got taken down hard by the sector bear market. Then, after marking out a triangular base pattern between late 2013 and early 2016 it ran up sharply only to top out and plunge from whence it came about a year later. Apparently the reason for this was operating problems at the San Ramon property, which have since been resolved. By far the oddest thing about this chart, in a positive sense, is the way that the Accum-Distrib line, after a brief plunge when the stock nosedived in mid-2017, has risen strongly to new highs as the subsequent base pattern has formed at a low level. The On-balance Volume line has risen as this base has developed as well, although not in such a dramatic fashion. The way these volume indicators have risen as the low base has formed is certainly a sign of accumulation and a bullish indication.

Musk Warns Mars Travelers: 'Good Chance You'll Die'... At South by Southwest, SpaceX Founder and CEO Elon Musk projected that his first Mars spaceship will be ready for short trips by the first half of next year. He did warn, however, that the first travelers to Mars would likely perish. "For the early people that go to Mars, it will be far more dangerous," Musk told HLN on Monday. "I mean, really, it kind of reads like Shackleton's ad for Antarctica explorers: It's difficult, dangerous, good chance you'll die, excitement for those who survive." This warning came after a positive declaration: "We are building the first ship, the first Mars or interplanetary ship right now and I think we'll be able to do short flights, short up and down flights, probably in the first half of next year," Musk predicted. Musk referred to Ernest Shackleton, a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic and died in 1922. Shackleton is famous for putting out an advertisement in Britain's The Times, supposedly reading as follows: MEN WANTED for hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success. According to legend, this ad received a tremendous response rate — 5,000 men approached Shackleton wishing to risk life and limb for glory.

London house prices slump most since financial crisis... Price drop underscores hit from Brexit uncertainty, high inflation House prices in London have dropped the most since the height of the financial crisis, underscoring the impact from rising inflation and uncertainty over the U.K.’s exit from the European Union. The average price of a home in the capital dropped to £593,396 ($822,447) in the three months to January, down 2.6% from the same period last year, according to a report by data provider Acadata out on Monday. In comparison, house prices across all of England and Wales rose 0.7% during the period, with the biggest jump seen in the North West. London — once the center of a U.K. property boom — has now seen house prices fall for three straight months, according to the data. The weakness comes as the country grapples with uncertainty over the Brexit negotiations with Brussels, with particular focus on how the divorce will impact the capital’s financial center and investments. The EU referendum in 2016 also sparked a plunge in the pound GBPUSD, +0.4116% , which pushed up inflation and is now eating into household’s budgets. Rising inflation also prompted the Bank of England to raise interest rates for the first time in a decade in November, driving up the cost of mortgages.
