Here is a quote from last month; Dubai cancelled 86 percent more residency visas in January this year compared with the same period in 2008, official figures revealed on Tuesday.

Greg Norman has as much to do with this project as Paris Hilton with Paris Hilton Towers in Dubai.

Nuc. Your opinion is as good as anyone else. Right now I'm loving the feud between Jon Steward and Cramer. It really shows you how much these so called financial pundits really know.

it's not only around you, it's everywhere...according to BBC News... As many as 51 million jobs worldwide could be lost this year because of the global economic crisis, says the International Labour Organization(ILO). I agree its everywhere but whats uniques in Dubai is the system. Back home if you...

Yeah the video rant from Jon is great. I have it on my website also. "Maintaining Values" - cause CNBC was and still is worth sh@thole to me. Whoever listens to those pundits is crazy. I'm glad Jon came out for it. Cramer was bashed again recently on his show. A must see guys. ;) Cramer w...

The article sounds like a satirical piece from the Onion... particualrly the bit about Dubai being "pretty", and people being jealous of its success. Would it haev hurt to say "Yes, there are economic problems, but we will get over them" rather than the current quotes which soun...

One of the biggest contractors in the world. All of a sudden Arabs are in love with Chinese. Saudi just awarded them a huge railroad contract.

Pound is still 40% below from peek. Villa prices seem to have stop falling, but I'm expecting another downward wave in somewhere between april and july. Villa prices stopped falling, doesn't look like it from where I stand. As far as I know they are there where the were since late Jan/early Feb. De...

Just to highlight Sage's point. An apartment sale is listed today on their website for AED 645,000 for a 2000 sqft apartment in JBR. That's not buying and selling.

Its about time. Actually its very refreshing to see the government is starting to admit the problem. In my opinion, Dubai will have a lot more respect if they stood up and tell people how it is. Its not a Dubai problem its a global phenomenon. Lies and ridiculous statements coming from high ranking ...

I hope you all had a grand one.

It goes both ways. Stupid people who KNEW they couldn't afford those mortgages took out any ways and on top of that buying luxury cars and boats out of your home equity when their property appreciated 200-300%.
