Well SPX is range bound and apple is such a big weighting in it. The theory that most of the posters there talk about is that it will stay range bound until 4 to 6 weeks before earnings and then will have a pre-earnings run up, which has happened in past quarters. Current apple "street"...

Isn't the answer obvious? It is because you love feeling like the smart Asian kid, whether you are or not.  >:(

How about early 80's with high teens prime rate? In real terms, prices were possibly lower than then in the 70s.

seems like a good decision. He was out of material at least 12 months ago. He has been rehashing the same things and then started posting about things he didn't fully grasp at times. His most interesting posts were about his experience in Las Vegas.

Shields and Brooks segment on news hour....Shields stated that that if Newt was RNC candidate, obama would cruise unchallenged to 2nd term. he actually thought this was a horrible result because he wanted obama to be seriously challenged and wake up to why so many are disappointed by his...

I wanted to share my experience with you.... My family owned a ton of apts in los angeles during the 80s. They always did tax exchanges but they made the big mistake of letting taxes drive strategy rather than optimizing their taxes for the right strategy. So they kept rolling the equity into...

Moving, you need to attend Indie school of ridiculing. Heard he is opening a branch up in your move up neighborhood right next to the 85 degree. He already sees your potential! Your post current skills doesn't quite cut it as either adding much ridicule nor value to the conversation. But thanks...

Why thank you! What was so insightful for you?

Hey USCT, first, thanks for taking time to look at it. According to Redfin, in last 12 months, there were 3 homes that backed on to culver in these tracts. Three sold for 449, 439 and 459/sf which were the detached SFR. The only house (that i think you alluded to) that sold for 385/sf is a...

Has either of you even seen the property? I actually saw it because I put in a bid while it was a short sale. This house is in total POS condition. Regardless of where it closes, it would most likely be an outlier given its condition so no point in asking USCT to value it unless he has seen it...

Q, so you are saying that from 1999 to 2003 (4 years), prices went up 200% (which is 20% annually) or are you saying that prices went up 20% from 1999 to 2003 which implies 5% appreciation or 2% above rate of inflation you are using? Pretty big difference.

this is so true. what is even crazier is that prices go through the roof in Asia because the homes are close to the best private after school tutoring schools too. This is in a city with easy access to mass transit where kids can get to the academy by subway if they need too yet the homes close...
