Proof zillows own numbers are a joke This home sold recently, showing what is really going on in carmel valley san diego. This home was worth over a million last year. Take a look at the pic!

Agree, looking for differences between your backtest and live trading results is crucial. But, if this uncovers nothing, I can honestly say that you cant determine a damn thing from just 11 trades. Thats just noise.

The numbers came from the UnionTribune (I think), and their numbers came from the local realestate sources, but I do not recall the exact source, since I threw the paper away now. As for zillow, I posted a detailed example that proves the Zillow Zestimate cannot be right now matter how you...

The IRS sent me a letter for last years taxes and claimed I owed them 3 million dollars :D I wrote a letter back, with some trade printouts that had big red circled A,B,C,D's around some summary info, that matched big red circled A,B,C,D's on my brokerage statement with an explaination...

No, zillows own numbers are screwed up. They dont post how exactly they calculate the zestimate. But if you look at the numbers for last sales *ON THE ZILLOW SITE*, you can see that shit is way off. For example, I picked a random home in carmel valley and zillow estimates its...

Ya see, at my complex, I get a nicer pool than I would have at my house, and someone else has to clean and maintain it. An awesome gym that would cost a fortune in a home. Multiple really nice grills/areas for parties and BBQ's. An awesome club house we borrow with sweet pool tables from time...

Living? Lets talk about the san diego home owners all around me that are so maxed out with mortgage payments they cant even afford to furnish their home or go out to dinner. You call that living? There are so many home slaves here its pathetic. They are getting taxed $500-$1000 a month on...

Zillow numbers are a total joke they lag so far behind. They estimate my buddies house is worth $950K, but if you multiply his square feet by the dollar per square foot the house sold 3 houses down from him last month, his house is only worth 740K. So claim what you want , but back it up...

You might want to try opening your eyes then. Here are the stats from the local paper These are median home prices for resale of single family homes. Coronado: -64% Carlsbad southeast: -32% Point Loma: -31% Poway: -28% Escondido West: -25%

Their area is not representative of popular california cities. 330K will get you a shit hole condo in a bad neighborgood in san diego :D Places where people really want to live in Cali have homes that size in the 800K to 1 million + range these days. Its insane. Anyone with any kind...

An example of "buying panic". I think this played a role in the housing run up after interest rates kicked it off. http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/17/real_estate/help_Basile_Neuffer/index.htm

Home prices: Record drop in October http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/28/news/economy/homesales_october/index.htm?cnn=yes

Anyone who claims trading is easy, has proven beyond any doubt that he doesnt know the first thing about trading.

People who bought lately in san diego (the bg holders), are paying $800-$900 a month in property taxes. Thats on top of their $4000 mortage. Oh and ps, these people only make about $120K a year combined (couples). They are one job loss away from foreclosure in this hot san diego job...

Oh yeah, and income is climbing at such a great rate these days, havent you heard?! :confused: Everyones jobs are being shipped offshore and being replaced with low paying service jobs. Yesireeee, income will climb to meet these new over valued home prices in "just a few years"...

From what I gather on this thread, Zzzzzzzz is this websites lefty bleeding heart liberal, yet he has no problem pulling out of iraq which would cause the deaths of potentially hundreds of thousands of iraq's. Yup, that pretty much sums up the wacky lefty's. Wait a minute. Isnt that exactly...

If trendlines had any ability to predict future price movement, then it would be easy to program a backtest that could 100% prove this. Picking high points and low points and drawing a line between them is something that can easily be done by a computer. Ive heard of no such results...

I like to think of it as intelligently guided brute force ;-) Last night I ran 190,750 backtests, but they were highly targeted :D Oooooooh I made a juicy discovery too. Its was a good night.

You are correct that it either works or doesnt. But you would miss out on some very important education. When I was searching for my first system, I must have found 100 holy grails. Only later to run them live and have them lose money, and be left scratching my head. After careful...

Dont raise taxes, cut spending, make the govt more efficient.
