Property cycles – an investor’s view

Fred Harrison’s Boom-Bust theories are being used by some investors who still think they can get rich quick by playing the cycle. There is an irony here. Follow the “Read More” link to watch these videos by an investor who is upset at having sold too soon to maximise his profits and missed out on the last years of the boom.
