How you can cool off

The world is on fire. 98% of investors have lost money in the past few days. And that’s OK. This is why when I was asked on Wednesday if “should I sell now”, my answer was… What are you talking about? Look. We've all read dozens of 'influencers' suggesting that investing €500 a month in the S&P 500 will make you rich in 20 years. The stock market only goes up. And to some extent, they might be right, but I don't like that extreme volatility dependent on a few overly powerful individuals. For part of my money, that's fine. For the other part, it's not.​ Sexy or not, real estate is more stable. Yes, there's the 2008 crisis, and talk of another bubble... But there are ways to invest without losing sleep over what a 70-year-old redhead across the pond might do. Investing in thoroughly analyzed and verified real estate projects that guarantee a fixed return is now a reality. Knowing more or less how much you're going to earn before putting your money on the table reassures me. And you have control. You don’t depend on people wearing red hats… But look. Let’s be brutally honest. People panic. And panic is the best environment to fish… and fish big. World population is growing. No matter who is in power. Global productivity is improving. No matter who is in power. The long term tendency is growth. And if this doesn’t happen is because of a global world. And in this case… Your money is stocks will be useless. Your properties will be useless. Even if you are leaving out of the grid, you have a liability because you know that you will be become a valuable target in a world where everyone will have to take care of themself. So… Look at the opportunities out there because there are plenty. Be calm. Be safe. Become rich and independent. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

“That doesn’t apply to my case.” I hear this all the time. Different asset. Different contract. Different country. Different shareholders. Different problems. My project is special. Of course, it is. Even the air you breath is. Look. Assets, projects, SPV, your toilet, whatever… are not making you suffer or smell bad odours because of a completely unique problem. The details are different. The patterns are not. It is the same in sales. Selling something for $5 and selling something for...
I say this to governments and agencies. Over and over. The problem is not finding investors with ideas. There are plenty. Funds. Developers. Contractors. Advisers. People with Power Points under the arm. The issue is distinguishing a serious, feasible infrastructure proposal from something that simply looks impressive. Because most bad projects do not arrive looking bad. They arrive with: A large economic impact. Strong demand forecasts. World-class infrastructure. Private capital. No cost to...
Australia’s Millennium Drought had been going on for years. Melbourne was running out of water. The politicians responsible for keeping the taps running and their seats well heated and cozy faced the kind of question no minister wants to answer: What happens if it does not rain? So Victoria made a decision. Large. Huge. It would build one of the biggest desalination plants in the world. Con 2 c*jones… or with 2 eggs. A plant capable of producing 150 billion litres of drinking water every...
