During this week, the General Index of the Madrid Stock Exchange reached a new low in the open crisis (689.73 points). The turbulence has continued amid further instability.
The week started with big climbs and ended with more pronounced . How long the fall? Analysts remain unanswered.
A majority believes that the market is oversold. That is, it has fallen too, and that, therefore, this cheap. The equity has already discounted, according to experts, the worst of situations.
Analysts say, too, that the worst of the crisis has passed. However, that said the same last week, and the turmoil continues.
In this situation, the recommendation remains the same as the last seven days: before you buy, wait until there are indications that certain stock begins to soar. This can last for weeks or even months.
In some experts remain unanimous. In the long term the stock market continues to show an uptrend.
According to the study of Ahorro Corporación, from the ninth year of investment and there is no risk of incurring losses.
But there are other investments besides the fixed and variable. Which position does the stock market compared to other alternatives?
After the stock market and fixed income, the investment property market is more used by the Spanish citizen. It also says that traditionally many investors to buy stock gains floors.
In fact, in the past year, the housing market has undergone a major revival, largely driven by economic growth, confidence of citizens in the country’s march and falling interest rates. These factors, in addition, some analysts add that part of the big gains in the stock harvested have been aimed at this sector.
Buy flats. But what is the performance of an investment property? The yield on housing is obtained in two ways: the rental and sales floor at a higher price.
Currently, the profitability of a rental property between 5% and 7%. Higher performance than fixed-income offering (the letters a year are 3.6% and long-term debt to 4.42%).
Despite the drop in August, which continues in September, the accumulated stock in the performance gain of 13%, rather than the profitability offered an apartment rental.
In the long term, the profitability of a building depend on the evolution of prices. The experts, however, have ruled that in the next four or five years will cause a boom like the eighties, when housing prices were multiplied by five.
The perspective is that the floors will increase an average of 3% this year, one point ahead of inflation, according to the latest report of the Pricing Society. In other words, investing in homes offers moderate performance, which may be higher than stock, depending on the time period and the characteristics of the property.
There are other alternatives, like art, wine, antiques … But compare the performance of these with the stock market is impossible.
The non-financial investments, except the housing market, are very different and varied. You can get big gains, but you can also lose money if the market is not known. Even more than in the stock or debt to invest in works of art or a bumper crop of wine you need a great knowledge in the field.
The answer depends on the time or duration of your bet. Analysts are unanimous. The Exchange is the most profitable investment in the long term (more than two years). Not so in the short, where the unpredictability of equity can lead to significant losses.
Better than bonds. An analysis by the Directorate of Studies of the London Stock Exchange revealed that the acquisition of shares during 1980 and 1997 produced an annual return of 21.5%, six percentage points higher than the yield on long-term bonds (15, 3%).
Investment in Stock in the same period has also been more productive than the purchase of short-term debt. The annual return of deposits to one month between 1980 and 1997 stood at 13.2%.
However, within the period 1980-1997, the equity has not always been the best investment. There have been several years when the bond yield has been higher than the shares. This was the case for much of the financial years in the period 1980-1984 (see graph on page). In the past 18 years has been several years in which the Exchange has registered a negative return.
This evolution in the Spanish stock market is consistent to that given in international markets. Thus, the yield difference between long-term bonds and shares in Britain between 1919 and 1996 was 5.9 percentage points for equities, and the United States between 1926 and 1990, 5.5 points.
The British merchant bank BZW performed the first comparative analysis between debt yields and the stock market in the United Kingdom. The aim was to demonstrate that it had to invest more in equities, since in the long run it was always more productive.
Amid the market turmoil that hit the market, many analysts are beginning to see what alternative investment income is variable.
Some people panicked, they got the money and stock market have put it in one of the fixed income products that provide greater security to the capital. Others have chosen to invest in the housing market, some have even opted for art.
Before the carnage of August, equities appeared as the best investment. It was not for nothing. The General Index of the Madrid Stock Exchange has been appreciated by 50% until July 19 when it set the record high. Do not forget also the major revaluations collected in previous years: 42.2% in 1997 and 39% in 1996.
