    Housing Rolling Along 2

    With all the for rent signs around San Diego, I may move into a nicer place with a lower cost per sq/ft than my current place. Too many people bought an extra house, thinking they could rent it, then realized a ton of people had the same idea, haha. Nice negative cash flow. Rent is less...

    Money can't buy happiness

    Hahahaha, pretty much. I get tired of this PC crap of "money cant buy you happiness". Like a damn broken record designed to make all the losers feel better about themselves. Show me a man that is happy, and ill show you all the money he used to be happy. :D

    Money can't buy happiness

    "In the end, you will not be remembered for the money. It is about the lives you touched and the people you helped. " Touching lives requires money. Transportation to meet them. Money to do things with them, to eat together, whatever. Helping people requires money. Phone calls require...

    I think that story is about to repeat itself here thousands of times over.

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    San Diego is like 85% ARM + interest only. People are feeling quite a squeeze already. Something has got to give. The job market here has never been good either. Ive had several friends who had to leave the area over the last few years because they simply could not get a job. These are...

    Why are they building new US car plants?

    Agree. Somewhere there is a little japanese been counter, with a 200 page spreadsheet, with thousands of variables, and the final cost to build in the US, to sell to US consumers, ended up lower than building it anywhere else. That simple.

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    Carmel Valley is a hot new area in San Diego. Homes in one nice neighborhood were selling for about 1 million late last year. They all look a like. 4 diff models I think. One of those home which was the exact same sq footage as one that sold in Oct last year, just went for 820K. An 18%...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    Drove out of my complex this morning to grab breakfast and there was a guy on the corner holding a sign that said "PLEASE BUY MY CONDO". He looked a little more than desperate. The end is near. :)

    Trading systems: profitable on longs only

    This is common. Most markets have a long term long bias that is difficult to overcome by most systems.

    Economics of Renting vs. Owning

    Are you kidding me? In any popular metro area, rent is no where near a mortgage bill. Rent is almost half the mortgage of a house the same size of what im renting, where I live. In hot areas, buying is a bad move. Your paying way too much premium for a home right now.

    Medicine or Wall Street?

    Go to med school. The population is aging. Being a Doc for the next few decades is a gold mine.

    Deathly silent on ET recently

    Naz just retraced back to the June 05 highs, wiping out almost an entire year of gains. I suspect people got clobbered and are licking wounds right about now. I would be looking long, but still sense weakness. Fortunately, I dont use any of the above "feelings" to trade with :) Just follow...

    This "edge" stuff

    Impossible to calculate without knowing the details of your system. It also depends on what time frame and what market. Calculating this for a coin flip is easy. Calculating this for one of my systems, I could do through simulation pretty quickly. In fact, I just wrote the code and...

    This "edge" stuff

    Its amazing how many have no idea what an edge is. Semantics issue I guess. If you cant mathematically prove your trades have a statistical edge over random, across a large period of time with a statistically valid sample set, sample size, and confidence interval, then you have no idea if you...

    Is my career over?

    Clueless as ever I see. Still gambling and trading on superstition. Just a matter of time before you blow out. Practically a statistical fact.

    I'm looking to buy a Trading System from some1 automated or not

    You are in fact asking for the holy grail. A system that can produce 100% a year in a super liquid market like you are asking, will make you richer than Bill Gates. You are asking for an exponential return. No one in their right mind would sell you such a system. A 50K account would grow...

    I'm looking to buy a Trading System from some1 automated or not

    I have an equities system that can almost do that. But I wouldnt sell it for anything less than $20 million up front. You would be an idiot to sell such a system unless the selling price was more than what it would make you in the next couple of years and you are impatient, which I am, LOL...
