Market at a turning point?

Reuters: Global property investment at a turning point

Property executives go seek mental help! you are totally deluded! (or full of s...)

"extended bull(s..t) in property prices"???

where? Germany, Japan, Italy, Suisse.... prices have not moved an inch since 2002!! US correction is well underway (my friends in the us laugh at me when I tell them what I could by in London wit $2millions! a three bedroom flat!)
where is this bull market? Here in the UK, and in Spain and Latvia, and Estonia thank to Mr and Mrs Gullible-Jones... where else??
Just Moscow. In Dubai the market has leveled off already

Wake up.. this is smoke and mirrors

My spread bets against property companies were at 3K last week, went through 4K and now stand at 5K.
Slide away.

How does one do a spread bet?

Just look around London at the moment. Cranes everywhere you look, putting up loads of new office space to compete with that already there. Interest rates and bond yields spiking sharply at the same time. Doesn't look like a clever market to be in right now and the UK REIT valuations are suggesting the same.

Tara747, I'm not sure where you'd go to do it for real, but I have a virtual trading account with Bullbearings.com.
If anyone has a good suggestion, I'd be interested to hear it.
