'In March last Teddy Sagi bought Camden Stables Market, on Chalk Farm Road, for £400m. Seven months later he acquired Camden Lock Market for a figure reportedly between £70m and £90m. The entire 1.25 acre market complex — housing more than 300 traders in 50 stores, 20 galleries and five food halls — is made up of six themed sections of which the businessman controls at least half.'

I see at the float they were over-subscribed?

That's a very big stake that Sagi holds as well!

NOW there are courses on this Subject...
= = = = = = =
Behavioral Finance
at Amsterdam Institute of Finance

Instructor: Professor Werner De Bondt

Course Description
Modern finance theory portrays financial decision-making as rational choice. However, pure rationality fails to describe how many decisions are truly made.
= = = = = = =

The Behavioral Finance course examines:

The various behavioral strategies that amateur and expert investors rely upon to make financial decisions.

The structure and dynamics of asset prices in global financial markets (from a psychological perspective).

The practical implications of behavioral finance for investment professionals.

This 3-day course includes a discussion of common psychological errors such as unrealistic optimism, extrapolation bias, tunnel vision, overconfidence, procrastination, lack of self-control, myopia, and emotional distortion.

The aim of the Behavioral Finance course is to provide participants with the background knowledge that is needed (I) to understand and to implement equity investment strategies based on key insights of behavioral finance, and (II) to successfully manage business relationships with clients.

Who should attend?
The Behavioral Finance course is designed for portfolio managers, security analysts, financial advisors, private banking specialists, affluent investors, regulators, management consultants and corporate executives, as well as anyone who wants to learn about the latest developments in behavioral finance. The course is self contained but prior knowledge of standard concepts in modern finance (e.g. portfolio theory, CAPM, beta, efficient markets) is required for enrollment.

For further information about admission, please see our Enrollment Details.

My favourite chart at the mo: (see above)

Be4 u dismiss it (I nearly did as it resembled the flawed Sornette charts) Energyi,Blackstone and I discussed the expanding cycle theme last year on the FALL thread and thought the "theory" could have some merit.

"when was the last time you bucked a trend?"

Last week I put a buy-to-let 2 bed flat in SW19 on the market (nice condition,3 mins to District line and shops, snip at £242,500)
The reason for this is that the prospective rent shows a 16% fall from last year and allowing for some price appreciation some 20%+ fall in yield.

I will let you know how this strategy works out. NB I shall be using the proceeds to pay down 2 mortgages and put £90,000 into the markets.
