    Is Real Estate a much superior inflation hedge compared to gold?

    That is crazy, I mean I guess it is to compensate for no income tax, but that is definitely high. I think we run around 1% where I live, but we don't have an income tax either. That counts the city and county I believe. My house appraised about 250k and total tax bill is like $2400 roughly. But...

    Is Real Estate a much superior inflation hedge compared to gold?

    I have been really looking into buying some rental properties. I have quite a bit of equity in my home currently, so might try to use that to pick up my first one if I can find a deal on one. It really just depends, I just need to make sure I can bankroll everything on my own without it being...

    Is Real Estate a much superior inflation hedge compared to gold?

    Aren't property taxes quite high in TX? Seems $1000-1500 would be operating at a loss on a $500k home. I just pulled up a home outside of Houston, listed for $480k, it says the taxes on it were $10k for 2014. No clue why but they basically doubled from the prior year. I am guessing they...

    Is Real Estate a much superior inflation hedge compared to gold?

    I am in TN about 30 minutes outside of nashville, I rented a townhome here in 2011 for $725 and it was 1400sq ft and brand new. I think it appraised at $130k. They were building them to sell right as the economy was tanking, so he just started renting them out instead of selling them. He could...

    The ticket I opened says it is being closed, no response with it. Maybe I submitted to the wrong section or something, but nonetheless a bit frustrating they didn't even reply.

    I looked at a few the other day, but I haven't had time to dig into any of them really yet

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I am in TN and it is around $2.35 right now. They always have an excuse for the price in CA that's for sure

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    The real question is, how quickly can we start an independent gas station in CA?! Sounds like some nice profit margins sheesh

    Yeah, if I can ever make enough to get to a more comfortable level I will probably move most of my stuff to advantage or somewhere similar.

    Exactly, that is why it looks terrible I think.

    Just submitted a ticket to them on adding this one as well as others. I would assume they probably won't want to, but who knows.

    Ag trade ideas

    Yeah, that is a very good point. I have noticed the crack spreads they added, but I don't get why they don't offer the rest of them. I will submit a message about it as well. Also, their charting on spreads can be pretty frustrating also. It never seems anywhere near correct I feel like.

    Ok, I entered at 7.75. That is half my position, I will see if we pullback anymore before entering the rest. Must add, IB acts a bit odd on these cross product spreads. Earlier I placed an order at the ask, but didn't get a fill. Do any of you all have issues with that? I know it isn't...

    I missed a good entry on the KE/ZW this morning. I saw it was right at about 5, but wanted to watch and see how it acted around that level and I was getting ready to take my son to school, so I figured I would enter when I got back. Already at like 8-9 by the time I got back

    Ag trade ideas

    I know I saw this trade mentioned the other day, but can anybody explain a bit more what is the fundamental reason behind expecting KCBT to outperform ZW? I checked it out on scarr and definitely see where it looks quite low compared to usual, I just didn't know the fundamental reason if there...

    I think Advantage is right around them. I know with volume their cost drops significantly. I can't remember what it is relative to IB though. http://www.advantagefutures.com/open-an-account/commissions/

    Currency Hedging

    Maybe convert half now and the rest later. Then you can only be half mad at yourself ;). Either glad you went ahead and exchanged half or glad you waited on the other half...or it might just stay the same rate.

    DD, does anybody have any thoughts they care to share on it? I haven't paid attention to it before, but just stumbled across it today. Looks to me like after this big drop and consolidation, it might be ready to make a move higher. I have just briefly skimmed their recent events and looks...
