There are many reasons for the market crashing in Dubai. What's odd is how much restriction there is in the papers for freedom of speech. The market tumbles or crashes and nothing gets reported in the paper but maybe a small article mentioning that the Market corrected.. what a Laugh. The Market was...
The nationalities of the criminals had a lot to do with how they were sentenced. I bet they will be out in a few months time if they don't get pardoned after sentencing. Justice here was not served, feel sorry for the poor visitor visiting Dubai. Wonder how they would have sentenced a few foreign me...
They catch one couple and they make headlines with it because they were foreigners. The local dude that is still wanted by the police in the Emirates has still not been found or captured with 2 years and moving on. Is this a joke or what? They will never publish that he is wanted in any local paper ...
i enjoyed your read Stylin, a couple of points though there is a daily drop limit in Dubai of 15% not free fall. The last major IPO (Dana Gas) and all the planned ones are open to foreigners but they do need to make all stocks open to foreigners similar to what Doha did a couple months back. emergi...
What do you all think about the DFM IPO? As with any IPO its going to be majorly oversubscribed. Even if someone puts in 100,000 dhs worth of shares (minimum for non-UAE nationals), I doubt they'd get more than a 100 or so shares. Expect trading to be even less for the next 2-3 weeks as everyones m...
Still opening in the red everyday. Apparently recently the local authorities have taken a very hard stance against working women and have had undercover police in street clothes placed outside of The Cyclone and they are randomly apprehending many women on a daily basis as they walk in or out of The...
( We won't mention the locals as we all know how the majority of them earn their money). We do? How please? :) Well for a start, all of them usually get pardoned within a year for their crimes commited and over 85% of the crimes commited by locals are financially related. The same crooks conning fo...
The United Arab Emirates is an Emirate that is loaded with natural resources while Taiwan is an island that has almost no natural resources and imports all of its raw material to manufacture into products for export. Have a look at this website http://www.dfm.ae the have a look at this website http:...
Like I had said before was that people in the Emirates don't have much spare cash to throw around which can easily be seen from this last stock market crash. The maket has been unable to recover due to the fact that there is little disposable cash.. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp?...
Du gets their line from Etisalat :happy1: Still competition, and if you will notice Etisalat has started to drop some of their prices. I disagree here s&o The whole Du-be-do thing is a very clever piece of marketing, but it's not competition. They come across as an upward new brand allowing use...
Okie u stockies have atleast something to cheer up..? there seems like a bit of light in the market.. I hope that light stays light up. At the end of the session on Thursday (just before the market closed) the market erased all gains made in that day meaning that it wasn't able to hold the gains. P...
You forgot to mention two different electrical Bills. I have heard that they pay less for utility bills then expats do Anyone here chime in to confirm?
Everything until now seems. Ihave yet to see a Villa owner or apartment unit owner who is a foreign expat show his freehold ownership title of either the land with the Villa or the Freehold ownership of the Apartment unit he or she had bought. Hopefully it will be Freehold but as of now it is just s...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL yaa and we tasty gold too if you guys wants some. Can you explain in proper English :scr...
yeah. I don't know where they get these prices. They don't have a competitor that's why. People can not do anything at all that's why they can just play the magic game of monopoly... if everything get competitive, a lot of business will be swarming in... What's funny is how Etisalat bids for foreig...
Here is an example of what DTAC charges for unlimited useage in Thailand for their Mobile data packages: 999 Baht for unlimited use is roughly 105 Dhms where as Etisalat Charges a whopping 460 Dhms. per month. :shock: Here in Taiwan they charge 699 NT for a monthly unlimited plan which comes out to...
What else is good in Taiwan? The tallest building in the World. I doubt that it's good in so seismic region... We don't get too much quake activity here in Taiwan though we have had our shares of a few quakes :? I would hate to be any where near that 101 tower were there ever to be a quake here in ...

The fact of the matter remains that these 'laws' that change evrytime the wind blows the other way are designed to extort money on a regular basis. 1 mil is the average family mans 1-2 bed apt. Add interest over 20 years, maint costs per sq foot and the visa renewal charges as well as ticket cost t...
I don't see prices in Dubai Marina and JLT at 70% less now than what they were before. I haven't seen them drop that much but I do know that they will continue to drop and have not seen bottom yet. Wait till desperate sellers try to sell this summer in Dubai. Will be a dry and hot summer this year i...
yea why not ask them to censor everything except "beautiful dubai" and a few more related terms that just makes dubai look better because that way it would be easier Man these guys are unbelievable I can control my children (If I have any in the future ...doesn't matter before or after ma...
Webster , In America or Europe you can complain and chances are quite high that it will be resolved. In the UAE you can complain but I doubt anything will be done or resolved. If you are still not happy they will ask you to move back to your own country or move else where. This is the same in Kuwai...
Sooner or later the Assad regime will fall. Their days are numbered now. Not sure what Assad is thinking but in the end his fate will most likley not be any better than how Gaddafi was killed.
