I got over-the-ear style for flights, I hated them other than blocking out the engine noise. I returned them after that. That was several years ago, I could be convinced to try another set of buds style.

Yeah - I get a weekly-ish email from my mortgage guy (it's automated) with my price. I check it time to time, last month was the first time it went down (not by a huge amount but still) since 2017.

That's where we're at! We were pretty gung-ho on moving to Austin pre-Rona stuff.

Now, Austin:

1. The housing is bananaland. A similar house to ours up here that's worth (now) about 350-400 (the thing above says a shade under 400, but chances are we would go for 365-375ish, assuming it doesn't go down further in the next couple weeks) - in Austin? 1 mil, MINIMUM. And they're being bought up by developers making those shoebox glass-wall houses all over the place, and selling them for 3 mil. Here's one for 2.45m.
   
   
   Spoiler

   
   
   Honestly. WTF. That's bananas. 30 year, 7.7% (random quick google says that's todays rate ), let's say 20% down is 500k (it's 490). 1.95m, 30 year, 7.7%.
2. Mortgage rates. Exactly like you just said. I am currently paying less than 10% of that above payment, on 2.625% for another 28 years (refid in Jan 2021). Is it warmer down there? Absolutely. It's also oppressively hot at times too. Anyway, here at least we're close to family. Why would we throw away 2.625%, where we're at is at least "southern" for the area, south of the rain snow line, and the cold is a lot less cold than further north (Maine, NH, etc).
3. Not gonna lie, homeless population is no bueno. I won't get into that at all since could border into political, but it's a big problem for the cities in Texas.
4. Randomly, Number 4 - we might both be up and gone for 6 months in 2024 for the Appalachian trail, so why move south for that, pay that premium for an empty place for 6 months.

GOOD MORNING!

 

HKD halted on an upswing. Get your day trading powder ready.

 

@TreeFortRichard imagine if we didnt sell PEGY

 

FNGR banging again

 

And BBIG is going on fire sale.

 

Imagine if I never bought BBIG

 

You'd have found someplace else to lose 75% of your mattress fund. lol

 

Preferably on options so it would happen fast. This crap is boring and forces me to average down

 

I still have 1000 @$3.69. I did a reentry

 

This was basically $1,000 of $GTii @$0.66 sitting for 1+ year in an IRA I started with some $GME profits... exited and put into $PEGY @$3.69....Sooo nice 1 month chart on this throw away account...It sat at ~$1K for a year

 

I finally decided the volume was drying up on GTii and sold another big chunk at $5.15, of course it heads back up the next day on more volume. I still have 600 shares left for the moon shot though (and the warrants ).

 

Well technically it IS drying up...Volume is waning....for now. The crazy thing is this stock would routinely traded 50,000 shares a day with 35,000 short...I just can't place ALL that trust in the OTC system...

 

IF $GTii can get over $7 it's looking like a text book 1 month cup and handle...although if ANYONE was bullish on LONG GTii I would question their sanity

I just chatted with E-trade to see if they would actually initiate a DWAC request for the shares from Liberty if I exercised my warrants. They told me they will not accept a transfer of any OTC stocks whatsoever into my brokerage account.

I asked him if that meant that if I had $50k worth of OTC stocks in my Schwab account, and I requested to transfer all over to E-trade, that they wouldn't accept them - he said yes, that is correct.

 

FNGR really making me regret going with GTii over more FNGR

 

FNGR regret for me as well - how long will it run?

 

prices are only one metric. Equivalent rent CPI is what you need to look at. Mortgage payments are going way up with the significant increase in interest rates and the drop in house prices is not enough to even that out. Therefore, "what an owner could rent their house for" is going to continue to go up. Plus it's a very laggy indicator (usually 3-6 months slow) AND it makes up a whopping 30% of the CPI

It's okay we are not in a recession.

 

I got my play account average down to $1.68. They really need to release earnings.

 

PEGY blastin while FNGR banging
