What? I never said Cortana prices would drop 20% in 24 months. That's a massive drop for any neighborhood over that period of time. So how am I backing off a claim I never made? I still maintain Irvine prices will drop YOY, and think anyone who buys an over priced stucco box (like a Cortana)...

My iPhone 4GS made that auto-correction. It's a limitation of the technology.

rkp, I can't control the way data makes you feel, or the way you react to bad news. That's an emotional response, which I understand is highly tied to home purchases, and I make no apologies for that. I will say if you think $325 a sqft in Woodbury is the bottom, then that is a pipe dream...

Does comfort mode actually change the ride characteristics? Never driven an M3.

I've never personally blasted anyone for buying in Laguna Altura. AFAIK, no one has actually bought in LA that post here. I will always tell the truth about a neighborhood based on the data (i.e - people who bought in Woodbury circa 2005-2007 got raked by depreciation). It's not my fault if...

Asian women hate discomfort, even in a fancy sports car. You will have a hard time convincing her to sit in bolstered seats on a lowered suspension that will cause her fake eyelashes to fall out every time you hit a speed bump. I'd think twice.

That's true, but I know "some important people" who answer to Mr. Benjamin, especially if he brings friends.

I plan to donate the money to either the Orangewood Children's home, or to a personal fund for a 24 foot boat. I'm not sure yet.

I don't know if Cortana prices will drop by 20% in two years, or three, or five. I can guess that they will drop. If Akim wants to bet on those terms, I would accept that bet. That's not fortune telling, that's looking at a trend, and believing that trend will continue based on numerous...

I'm not betting on percentages either because it's fortune telling. Anyone who tells you they know the exact percentage an asset will appreciate or depreciate over an exact period of time is a con artist. If prices dropped 16% over two years for Cortana, that would indicate massive price...

He can get Chinese, but if he wants to go Korean he's going to need to drop the M3 and get a white Mercedes, hopefully E-Class or above.

I don't know any sources for "medium price", nor would I use such a metric. Maybe I'm too amateur.

I think you should still default, rent the place out, and skim the income. That would be mastery of the system.

You're talking about pettifogging. That's not my goal. My goal is to simply understand what the point of the wager is. Right now, I think it's clearly obvious that the wager is pointless since both parties believe Irvine housing will drop. There's really no difference of opinion except akim...

Finally someone who understands why Akim's bet is so stupid.

Like small claims court, it's not about the money, it's all about principal. I consider myself someone of sound principal.

Would you say yes/no to a question you don't completely understand the purpose of? That would make you a fool.

I'm actually attempting to reduce the complexity of the bet. The way akim's bet is structured right now doesn't serve any purpose. I know what akim's bet is, but what is the point of the bet? To prove that a certain plan in a certain neighborhood won't go down 20% in 2 years? Or to prove that...

You tried your best trace! What all this about fighting battles? Have you been reading some George R.R Martin recently?

That explanation doesn't help either. My data? I don't have "indie secret" data. My data is simply based on sold homes data readily available on Redfin, OC Register, MLS, etc. There is no "indie specific data", I'm not a purveyor of housing data. Also, what does "normal back and forth" mean...
