Nostradamus of Bali: 

Twenty  one year Bali resident, Lawrence Bellefontaine, President of 135 employee, Tripadvisor Hall of Fame award winning PT. B.A.L.I. was once called “The Nostradamus of Bali” by another over zealous major newsletter critic. 

He states “unlike Nostradamus, I base my predictions on solid fundamental and technical analysis utilizing my 41 years of professional investment experience.

Over 65 % of his overall predictions made on his Bali News and Views Radio Show, Newsletters to over 40,000 readers and over 7,000 Blogs posts with over 1,400,000 pageviews have been accurate over the past 11 years.

Here are just a few of his major documented predictions.

1. In 2002 after living in Bali for five years he began writing a column for the Bali Sun Newspaper. His famous quote at the time was “Bali real estate is the same as Hawaii 30 years ago when foreign investors first started to buy”.

2. At that time he recommended an American couple purchase a beautiful beachfront property for Rp 10,000,000 ($1,000) per 100 m2. That same property is now selling for 2,000% more in just 13 years.

3. An Australian Bali contractor once called him “The pioneer of Bali luxury villas” since he trademarked the name "Bali Luxury Villas". In 2,000 he recommended that foreigners buy luxury 400 to 500 m2 villas with private 9 mtr. pools on a 50 year lease starting at $176,000. 

Those same villas have resold for 100% to 200% more plus positive cash flow plus the opportunity to enjoy their villas for free at any time.



4. In a Jakarta Post Newspaper interview in 2005 He cited the fact that after the Horrific 2002 Bali bombing many people telephoned him expecting prices to drop He said “ Bali real estate will not fall because the Balinese could afford to hold off, they’re not cash-strapped”
Sure enough prices did not fall, did go sideways and a year and a half later continued to rise exponentially. In the same article, he said he stated that “prices would continue to grow for another 3 to 10 years before there would be any corrections”. Exactly 10 years after that prediction in March of 2014 Bali had the first correction in prices in 40 years, caused primarily by Govt. concerns over nominee ownership of properties by foreigners.

5. In 2002 he recommended buying beachfront properties on a new highway that was going up the east coast of Bali ( By Pass Baru) for as little as $4,000 per 100 m². Just this year the same property sold for $100,000 per hundred square meters. A phenomenal increase.

 In 2007 at seminars throughout Asia and Jakarta he warned investors that the American real estate market was oversold and that only fools were buying. Thereafter the American real estate market collapsed with prices dropping as much as 70%.

7. In 2009 February 2009 he predicted after the worst stock crash since the Great Depression that “the stock market looks like it has bottomed out and is ready to start a bull market”. Since that time. we’ve had the one of the longest bull markets in history.

8. Four years later he recommend buying palladium at $180 an ounce. A few years after that it sold for $850 an ounce.

9. He recommended buying gold at $450 an ounce predicting that inflation-adjusted if it only went back to the price that he use to sell it for in 1980 when he was a precious metals dealer, it should go to $1,500 - $2,000 an ounce. Prices rose dramatically thereafter and stopped at $1,950 an ounce. Very close to his upper limit prediction.

10. Four years ago he stated Singapore real estate prices were ridiculous and would fall. They have fallen for 48 months exponentially.

11. Most Bali and Jakarta Seminar attendees plus readers of his Bali News and Views newsletter and blogs, with over 1,400,000 pageviews worldwide that took his advice over the past 10 years have earned exceptional profits.

13. His first © Bali Luxury Villa which sold for 176,000 is now worth close to $400,000.

14. A Canadian Jakarta Seminar Attendee has potentially earned over 400% in five years or roughly 70% per year on a Bali Villa.

15. Another attendee who purchased a villa for $168,000 has seen it rise up to $300,000 or 147 % in 4 years.

16. In March 2014 prices he predicted Bali real estate had topped off and would fall. Many prices are down 20% to 50%, which he now says is probably the best buying opportunity for Bali real estate in 40 years.

This is the main reason he has come out of retirement at the age of 67 to address the many issues in the Bali real estate markets and make forecasts for 2018 and beyond.
