ParticipantOne of Obama’s other pledges during the campaign was to wind down Afganistan. Instead we are getting sucked further into an unwinable conflict.
The Russians learned as did every other invading force since the year zero that Afganistan is not conquer-able. And now we are fighting the very troups that we trained to fight the Russians.
The losers in Afganistan wars include Alexander the Great, England, Russia, and soon America. The tribal nature of the people, and ridiculous terrain make winning a war almost impossible.
Unfortunately, the alternative is another 100,000 people on unemployment.

ParticipantYou called it. I thought it would be a short year or two on my boat. It’s now been 4 years, and the boat is getting really small.

ParticipantGood question. I believe the owning costs would have been about lower than my purchases 10 years earlier. But I don’t see any bubble level appreciation in the next 5 to 10 years.
But you make a good point. The half million cash profit I took from the sale of properties probably weights the equation in favor of owning. There is no appreciation potential in renting.
