It’s a popular market sentiment that property prices will experience a downward trend in 2009. Thus 2009 being a buyer’s market means that bargain hunters will be busy on the lookout in the Australian property market. Since some location fare better than others, market analysts are already searching for property hotspots. Lower housing affordability together with rising interest rates, skyrocketing fuel prices and increasing household spending continues to fuel the demand for the broader market.

The Australian bureau of statistics has reported that house prices depreciated to the lows of 1.8 per cent in the last quarter, the biggest documented drop since 1980s. The only cushion for the market being the active employment market, immigration and well controlled supply. The situation has slowly worsened, with the global recession being viewed to likely bring about asset disposals and, possibly, a depression. This turn of events has forced Market analyst’s to adopt a more protective approach towards investment opportunities.

Their attitude is informed by the belief that besides general opportunities to pick up troubled assets, there are areas that will experience greater property volatility than others. Though the occurrence of this situation offers greater bargain opportunities and capital gains for the longer term, it is important to be objective.

Many property forecasters believe that Adelaide and Melbourne stands a better chance than most of the other metropolis in the long term, this is because easier land supply boosts affordability hence makes the city a property hotspot and easy for private developers to work. Adelaide and Melbourne both have the benefit of competitive land supply and strong immigration levels.  Queensland area is more of a wildcard. The government has declared that it wants to establish a green belt on the south coast and is releasing land in the hinterland; an action many believe will stop growth.

Perth will most likely be linked with the mining sector and a move that carries greater investment risk, since prices are already overstated. Darwin is also believed to be expensive. Sydney has historically favored to move towards the Sunshine State, so the looming wave of retiring baby boomers should help keep the floor under control. Property hotspots are hard to ascertain, but do your research carefully and you will benefit.

The term Share strategies in Google brings about 70,900,000 results, with such large number of links, its little wonder that a person looking for help to develop their share strategies can easily get overwhelmed. In this section you’ll find some nice tips on the best known share strategies, most with proven track record in both short and longer term periods with above average results.

That said, it should be emphasized that no single stock market strategy can always be successful.  If there was one, perhaps everybody would adopt it leading to share price fluctuation that undermines the original strategy. The commonest strategy so far is the recognition of undervalued shares. Below are more shares strategies to consider;

Dollar cost averaging

Due to the difficulty involved in getting correct timing decisions when transacting in the stock market, some authorities back the dollar-cost averaging, this share strategy involves the purchasing of a fixed sum of stocks at regular intervals, done without regard to the performance of the stock market.

Cut loses Policy

This strategy advices that if a share value falls after purchasing, you should liquidate it. Meaning you cut losses immediately the share price drops to a predetermined level - say 15 per cent. This method also referred to as “Stop-loss policy” warrants that you don’t loose more than 15 per cent of your account equity.

Contrary opinion

It’s popularly stated, especially in the stock market that when everybody agrees with a certain course of action, follow the contradictory opinion, the funny thing about this strategy is that the stock market analysts seldom agree on anything.

Liquidate Underperformers

Some market pundits recommend the liquidation of underperforming stocks, thus stocks performing below the market average should be sold and the money used to purchase well performing stocks.

Success breeds success

This very old strategy otherwise known as “The reversal system” advises that in any given four weeks period, a share should be purchased when it’s price rises above it’s previous high price and liquidated when it drops below its previous low prices. This share strategy has been empirically tested and reported to deliver very good results.
