One reason is the tempting and overwhelming predictions. Although costs are low, investors will have a hard time increasing prices to yield return. Austria took about 25 years to develop itself to the condition it is now, although Austria is not a third world country. Bulgaria on the other hand is a developing country and the economical development will probably move slower due to their current government situation. Due to the attractive forecasts, I believe that investors overestimate them.

But it is impossible to assume that all investments will result profitably, especially not within a short period of time. I am afraid, that until the investments yields returns, the companies lost already. The reason --- the time range that are used to calculate the forecasts or predictions, are not realistic. Property is today’s most popular financial investment. The traditional Stock Market offers high returns but it proves to be a highly volatile market. It is interesting to note that 50% of all members of ‘The Times Rich […] KW - bulgarien, immobilienanlage, country, profile, economic, outlook, predictions, speculations, trade, development, credit, rating LA - Englisch ER -
