:p Yeah...that's how it works out here...right. It's a renters market...you can get nice places (3bdrm homes) in the $1000-2000/month range with an average income in the $50-60k/range. If you're not a family and don't need a big house you can get into luxury apartments for $850/month
This month has been real tough. January was great once you figured out where the pullbacks were and could pick good entry points. There was a 12-14 handle range every day and great volatility...now we've been in the 3-4 handle range and volatility has dried up...I'm happy to make 10 ticks a day...
