Suddenly I see - KT Tunstall

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see
she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around
her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround
her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you
captivated in her palm

* Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear
she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like
she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer
when you're trying to remember what you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wire

Repeat *

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes
looking from a page
in a magazine
she makes me feel like
I could be a tower
big strong tower
the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see

** she got the power to be
power to give
power to see
Suddenly I see

Repeat ** (3 times)

This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
Suddenly I see
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means
so much to me

美國中部時間, 五月二日 ,早上八點三十分,奧馬哈(Omaha)Qwest運動場,三萬五千多名股東,正出席股神巴菲特(Warren Buffett)的波克夏‧海瑟威控股公司(Berkshire Hathaway)年會。

今年的股東會,出席人數最多,但同時也是巴菲特接掌波克夏四十四年以來,績效最差的一年:每股淨值跌至歷史新低,股價也在七個月跌掉近三○%,連波克夏自己持有二○%股權的子公司——穆迪信評也「大義滅親」,將波克夏信評連降兩級,由Aaa降為Aa2。《經濟學人》(The Economist)更指稱,「(波克夏的)信用風險比俄羅斯還高。」

投資人紛紛質疑:巴菲特不再神了嗎?針對市場質疑聲浪,股神回應的方式很幽默。

一開場,就是巴菲特自製的「自嘲」影片。片中,巴菲特不再是波克夏董事會主席,而化身旗下家具公司的床墊推銷員,他無奈的對股東說:「因為穆迪將波克夏信評降級,董事會建議我可以試試其他工作,」現場一陣大笑。

一年一度的波克夏股東會,巴菲特再度站上講台,與股東、記者進行長達七個小時的現場問答。《商業周刊》為讀者整理出股神開講的三大重點:

第一講:壞日子還沒過完

零售業將繼續衰退,房市尚未復甦

股東與媒體們最關心的問題:金融海嘯衝擊過去了沒有?

對此,巴菲特的回應是:「我想,答案是否定的。我們還在(對抗金融海嘯的)戰爭之中。『珍珠港事件』(編按:美國總統歐巴馬對抗金融海嘯的用詞)發生是在去年九月,這場戰爭重擊美國的心臟——金融系統。」

「當時,如果我們不能有所作為,我們很可能輸掉這場戰爭。我們必須給予(政府官員)正面評價,但是,這場戰爭還沒有結束。」

再怎麼低迷的市場,都有達人賺錢!

《今周刊》搜羅了縱橫兩岸房市的台商房市達人、在冷門市場投資無往不利的超級女地主、善於區間操作的藝人馬國賢、法拍高手周業昌,以及看屋達人陳媽媽,分享他們獨到的投資心法,五位達人教你贏在房市!

一向是景氣落後指標的房地產,在農曆年後明顯回溫。

投資 進場時就想好退場時賣給誰
超級女地主吳俐潔 在冷門市場累積億元身價

「穿乎水水,遊山玩水,三不五時巡田水,初一、十五領油水!(閩南語)」這句俗諺充分地道出擁有大筆土地、房地產員外的優渥生活,而這更是許多房市投資客心中最理想的境界。然而,今年五十三歲的吳俐潔卻真的達到了。

雖然只是女流之輩,但在高雄地區,吳俐潔卻赫赫有名。畢竟目前她手上就擁有數十筆建地、農地和工業區用地,不但總面積高達數十甲,由於多半散布在高雄市郊區澄清湖、義大城、美濃一帶等熱門地段,隨著建地日漸稀有,她的身價也跟著水漲船高,初估身價至少近十億元。

最令人佩服的是,她一身資產並非靠著繼承龐大的家產,而是憑著一路從投資買賣房屋、操盤法拍市場,一直到目前專攻不良債權土地,一點一滴累積而來。

在藍海中進場,在紅海中出場!

出生在桃園的她,父執輩是從土木包工做起,後來轉型做「販厝」、土地買賣,由於時機得宜,整個家族迅速地在桃園、台北一帶累積龐大的資產,縱橫北台灣一帶的住都飯店、住都建設正是家族所有,由吳俐潔的堂哥邱祥桂所操盤。

雖然在重男輕女的傳統包袱下,吳俐潔從沒分得一筆家產,但家學淵源,從小跟在長輩身邊學買土地、學看房子,卻激起了對房地產濃濃的興趣,並練就了一身硬底子,成了日後最大的資產。成年後,她隻身南下高雄發展,從底層的仲介投資房子、操盤法拍幹起,一路成為市場上「喊水會結凍」的超級女地主。

吳俐潔表示,小時候看著父親、兄長總在行情低迷之際,大筆大筆低價蒐購別人不要的房地產,或在區域未開發時及早進場搶市,等到市場熱門時再一一拋售,賺取巨額價差,低點進場其實深深地影響她,成為日後房市操盤的核心概念。於是多年來,吳俐潔就一直複製著「在藍海中進場,在紅海中出場」的家傳祕方,在市場上無往不利。

近來國內營建業者吹起一股投資興建旅館熱潮,從南到北延燒全台,目前全台正在興建的旅館投資案,就高達百件以上。

這一波建商投資飯店業,以麗寶建設投資的福容飯店體系規模最大,不到三年時間,福容飯店分館已遍布北、中、南,連墾丁歐克山莊也被麗寶拿下。

建商轉進旅館業,最主要原因是,興建商辦或豪宅的投報率不高。受到金融風暴影響,房地產及商辦租金行情不如預期,與其投資商辦,還不如蓋飯店。

經營飯店的難度較高,但旅館每天都有現金收入,只要足夠支付房貸款利息,建商就不必賣土地,可以等待房市回春,先養地等土地增值後再出售土地。

此外,飯店平均每隔二年要小修,四至五年要大翻修,對建設公司來說,也是一筆生意。飯店部門獲利除可按時分紅,也可透過翻修的機會再回饋給母公司。
