Geomax Locations in the world are just like investing

[RetireAndCope]

Japan is romanticized heavily and even though it's not a bad place it's not all that it's made out to be either (overvalued)
China is either an unknown to people or they drank the western kool aid a little too much and they have a dislike for it automatically, even though when I was there it was such good value for money (undervalued)
Da Nang and Chiang Mai are being shilled heavily by the digital nomads on youtube (when it was undervalued) and will probably be so popular in the coming years it will stop making sense to go there over lesser known places (becoming overvalued)

It's just like seeing the stock market where everyone jumps on hypes (dot com bubble for example) when it's hot, 'even your barber is talking about the new tech stock' (eg: bro i want to move to thailand so bad....) even though when the stock market is plummeting (no one talking about a certain place in our case) no one wants to put their hands on it when it's actually undervalued

The arbitrage we have in this is finding places to live in the world which are lesser known but very good value but no one wants to be

The big example on this forum being China, I feel like we are some kind of underground stock investment group sometimes that doesn't follow the broader societal trend, just not for stocks but places to live in the world lol

Thoughts?

true

even in china there’s a wide spectrum of value and how undiscovered it is

there’s no foreigners where i live (which is surprising since i live in the city center) unless i go to the old town. i was thinking in the shower earlier that if my city started to get over saturated, i would move a bit farther out of the center or to a different city altogether

and yea da nang is heading to the dumps. i didn’t even get in at a good time as my first trip was march 2022 but compared to my recent trip last week, it’s heading downhill quickly, but still largely avoidable if you stay out of my an district completely

I think it's hard to generalize something as being overvalued or undervalued, because everyone values different things

is Bali overvalued? for me it is, but for a 22 year old instagrammer, fit hot white guy, it's probably one of the best places in the world to be

is China undervalued? for me it is, but 99% of my friends would hate to live in china for more than a few weeks even if it's cheap and you can get high quality women

I'm not familiar with the districts in Da Nang so idk if it's for the same reasons, but the same thing can be said about the French Quarter in Hanoi and Ben Thanh in HCMC. Total soy district with nothing interesting crawling with tourists

What are some good stock picks these days? It's over?

Feel like Da Nang and Chiang Mai are already overvalued. After a year it can lose its charm never been to da nang
