I bought this morning, a small position. Why? I noticed that a subsidiary of Soros Fund Management bought 5% a few weeks ago. I was scratching my head, why, particularly in times like this. Of course because of SP growth, London exposure, cheap pound, and other obvious reasons such as their impressive net cash position. However, purely speculating, Soros bought for a bigger reason, London's Letting and residential market is going to keep growing. How? As people work more from home, it's possible that many commercial buildings will not be used and will be demolished, or renovated into Flats. This whole ordeal is about control, more people in cities = easier to control. Not only that, after the last property crash, very wealthy foreign buyers gobbled up London Properties. One more thing is that some wealthy people may want to move to the country and could very well rent out their London properties. Food for thought.
