There used to be a gold thread here that Panda deleted, but on it awgee told me how much I was going to regret selling all my gold for $1,600/oz back in 2011 (which was perfect timing). I bought a house not long before that and he also told me what a fool I was for buying because prices were bound to crash a lot more. He was dead wrong. Last I saw, he got banned from the Redfin forums (back when they still had forums) and he kind of disappeared after that.Wonder what awgee is up to![]()
The irony is that his entire premise for buying gold was currency devaluation, which is what led to the massive surge in RE values from 2011-2021. He had the right diagnosis, but the wrong prescription.I got along well with Awgee
LL still hurt from being so wrong this last year or so... crawls into a hole, goes quiet, comes back after he's done sulking and then tries to zing me.Awgee was similar to @irvinehomeowner and @CalBears96. A lack of understanding about market timing cost him dearly.
