I think that you are being really unfair to Shak. I agree that his point about prices has been made quite clear and any further discussion is pointless, however to suggest that he has no place on the forum is wrong. Shak seems well-informed and when investing the more information the better. In his last post he mentioned the going rate per square metre in Morocco, which was something I was unaware of. This was probably new info to others, too. On top of this he has made a lot of other interesting posts.
You will probably say that I also have no place on this forum, as I am not investing in Alkudia Smir. We had a reservation on Playa Vista, but backed out over contracts. In retrospect I think this was a bad move, as we got in right at the beginning (frontline two bedroom at 40000 pounds), and it now looks as if contracts are being changed.
I have to admit that its very easy to be influenced by the forums, so its important to always keep your objectivity. I have been following the forums Colin set up, as they seem the liveliest and most informative about Morocco.
We considered Alkudia Smir, but were not over-impressed by the location, so we're still looking. Waiting to see what Emaar come up with in Morocco. We have already bought in Dubai, and believe Emaar's developments will be something special.
For now we're leaving Morocco on hold, but are buying something in Istanbul. Good luck to everyone buying on Alkudia Smir, and Shak keep on posting and ignore those who only want to see things through rose tinted glasses.
