Thanks for the forums. It made dealing with CA real estate easier over the past two years, and I developed a judgment regarding human nature and the real estate business I did not have before. Good luck

All good suggestions. It is interesting to see different people’s viewpoints on a question like this.

I don’t doubt it. I like the idea of real estate, but within boundaries I am comfortable with. That is to say direct ownership of property I can afford outright if need be. I will probable buy a rental property in the next year with 20-40% down and see how that goes. The RE model I put...

I don’t get the “California Room” or the “Potsie” reference. In most cases money should work harder than you do, which was the thought behind the initial question. I was interested in what others think here. One thing about Southern California that impresses me is the quantity of high-value...

Hypothetically, if you had 100 large sitting around and you: - have no interest in sinking the cash in CA real estate, - no interest in an expensive car (because you’ve already owned several and its out of your system), - have several hundred already in the stock market, - currently do not...

Does anyone else remember the All-You-Can-Eat fried fish dinner on Fridays at Big Boy’s? With hush puppies? That is an old but fond memory. I was a child then and my parents were still married.

I have been with Fidelity for ~ four years. I make 10-20 trades a month with them. $8 stock trades if that really matters. I have never had a problem or error. Executions are uneventful, stock and options. They have conditional trading templates on their website that cover most scenarios...

I heard this too. If you pay the bill in full each month you are a low/no value customer, albeit low credit risk. Damned if you do, damned……

Sorry for you BT. I hope you land another position soon.

You the man BK. Material Science is the new Chemical Engineering.

The differential velocity between the balloon and the air currents it is propelled by is effectively zero, so negligible drag factor. :smirk:

Volume of an oblate ellipsoid = 1.33*pi*length radius^2*height radius Approximate bubble-boy balloon dimensions = 20’ X 5’ Balloon volume = 1047.2 ft^3 Helium density at 20” water column ~= 0.0112 #/ft^3 (assumed internal pressure) Air density at Denver conditions (12.2 psia & 70 degrees F)...

Agreed. It is tough to play at levels 25% higher than one believes it should be. “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” - somewhere on the web.

It really is a palace (from the pics), and the materials/workmanship likely cost >$1MM. I question would anyone capable of paying $11MM for a residence choose to live in Corona.
