    2007 will be the year of the correction. First the Stock Market then the Property market. Remember 1987 20 years on we have the making of a big crash...  Will it be before October 2007?

    I'm a bit skeptical about both. I think the stock market is perhaps the safer option of the two because the possible losses are less of a risk that buying property and never recovering your investment. Investing in stock would definitly be better if you don't have herd mentality or are able to judge when to get out. Otherwise I'd recommend long term investments as an option.

    If I was going to invest in property it would be via auction. There are bargains to be found, ex-repossessions for example. Buying those properties in choice locations will not lose money in the event of a crash and could be profitable as buy-to-let. I also think it is the safest way to safeguard your money in the unstable climate that everyone is predicting this year. Property will always yield profit if managed the right way.

    Let us hope that today doesn't set the 2007 trend for the ISEQ! It went down by 113 today alone as a result of global stock prices taking a nose dive. Looks as though Black Monday may have been right if this dip turns out to be a downward trend. Time will tell, although I don't think anybody should panic just yet.

    The Iseq has stabilised somewhat today but didn't bounce right back and that worries me. The hit was massive yesterday and has weakened markets everywhere. Whilst I'm glad there were no signs of it today, I still see a bleak year or so ahead.

    It has all the makings of a downward trend, but thankfully a steady one instead of a crash. This does give hope for some sort of recovery, but the world's markets are far from stable for various reasons.

    I'm yet to add my opinion here. I'm going to be controversial and say that I think property may perform better than the stock market. The Iseq is vulnerable to fluctuations in other markets, and we have already had examples of that this year. The property market is influenced by overseas markets granted, but it also depends on other factors such as demand for housing - which hasn't declined in recent months.

    I disagree. If the economy is not prospering because the stock market has fallen then it will have a direct impact on property. The demand for housing only last whilst people cannot afford their own home. If house prices fall, those who have regular savings would be able to afford a place of their own and thus the investment potential would decline.

    It's interesting to look at the graph Black Monday posted. We do have all the makings of that already this year, and we're only thirteen days into the month - and year I might add! Ten years does seem like a nice round number and a perfect interval for the market cycle to come full course!

    Property then stock? Hmmm, I think its more likely to be the other way around. It won't be the year for either. It'll be the year of long term investments because people aren't going to be willing to take a risk The economic future of the country is unstable and so the majority aren't going to take a risk when they can guarentee returns.

    I just hope a better future is ahead. I invested a lot of money last year and I really don't want to see it go down the drain just yet! All of my investments are thus far doing better than I expected, even though there were a few tense moments the other day. It doesn't really matter whether you choose property or stock - the risks are there regardless.

    the property market is crashing - and its all over Irish websites - its starting to become common knowledge despite very limited coverage from the media

    Not exactly crashing yet... may see gradual slowdown for two quaters. Expect a surge of property sales for the false SSIA bounce. That's when then big crah will happen.
