But I do travel with family 5-6 times a year - Singapore really too cramped for relaxing and need variety - hence I appreciate the safety factor and how recent trends will impact Asian tourism positively, including hospitality plays in Singapore, Oz, Japan etc

Asian tourism is a good story - especially if people begin to avoid Europe in droves due to heightened risks - eg my family has been going Europe annually the past few years and I am now switching to Australia, NZ and northern Asia - it's not fun travelling to places where you have to keep looking over your shoulder and worry about trouble and being a soft target. There would be others like me - many others possibly..
Overbot level
Time to sell...or short sell.
but weird right. Japan markets drop after stimulus from Abe
sometimes find market irrational...

Oh - no wonder - there was more good stimulus news from Abe and Jspan today..

Would it be better buying AUDSGD and selling SGDJPY be a faster option . it trading at a high P/B of 0.95

With resurgent interest in Aus and Japan as travel destinations, esp given the situation in Euro, and the strengthening currencies against S$ - may strengthen going forward. It was previously dragged down by derivative hedges and weakening currencies..

No one has any view on this ?
Still quite close to oversold area..it will drop when Fed annouce interest rate hike
Anybody knows why AHT still so strong. P/B is the highest . It used to be a weak counter amongs the hospitality reit
 
Very strong but more leeway for it to go down
at the mid of 52 weeks high and low as compare to the rest (most are hitting 52 weeks low)
Target south to 0.61
 
Another technical trend for AHT as it hitting oversold ..
Should be going lower
i reckon acquisition at the wrong timing cos it could be cheaper in few years time.

its the location of the place in Melbourne which makes it attractive

Aurora Melbourne Central completion in 2019. The aquisition is only the 23 floors of the
service apartments (   strata tiles ) of the 92 storey building. Please read that there comes 
with income support clause from UEM should rentals falls short. ( Its   often that the aquirer
pays an upfront or higher price to seller , then what the seller can get ). Sounds like an Aussie
flavoured deal not unlike buying a suburban house with guranteed rentals...... you decide ?
Why impressed ? The cpty UEM is not a bigger player

Actually I'm impressed they managed to secure this deal. It looks good on paper given the Central location and proximity to QV Market and the CBD and Melbourne Museum etc
