CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte][quote=flu][quote=svelte][quote=flu]Etrade is a ripoff. $16 per trade and 2cents per share. Schwab. $9.95 up to 1000 shares.[/quote]
Not sure what you’re talking about.
I just bought shares via etrade this week for $9.99 and no per share fee.[/quote]
I think the corporate plan fees are more expensive and don’t follow the 9.99 normal price.[/quote]Then why wouldn’t you buy them without the corporate account? I don’t have any annual fees or anything. Costs me 9.99 per trade and that’s it.[/quote]
you can’t do the employee stock purchase outside of the corporate account that was setup even if you have an individual account. I already tried by asking if you can move the shares from the corporate created account to your individual. nope…

CoronitaParticipant[quote=Hatfield]I use TD/Ameritrade. Seems fine to me. I don’t often have to speak to customer service so I can’t really address that point, other than they’ve been fine the few times I’ve dealt with them. Everything I need to do I’ve been able to do via the website.
If you want to talk about bad customer service, way back in the day, Q used to use Alex Brown as their stock & espp administrator and those people were outright crooks. Before they had a web interface, you would have to phone in your order. There were several times when I called to place a market order, and it would get filled at the lowest price of the day, even though you could go back and see in the intraday that the lowest point occurred in the morning, before I placed my order.[/quote]
I remember those days….yup
CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]And Scottrade fell victim to ID thieves last year. Is any big trading house really good? How do you win?[/quote]
I love Schwab.
CoronitaParticipantSo I’m noticing that apmex routinely alternatives between the mapl leaf, the american eagle, and the american buffalo in offering a special pricing” almost every week. The special offer is usually $30-44 above spot prices., and the price updates roughly every 10 minutes on ebay.
Just a dumb question. How are places like apmex getting their gold coins such that it’s immuned to the price fluctuations of the current market in order to make money?
Since most of these coins are 2016 ‘new, it seems like they are getting it directly from the US mint and the CAN mint. But how can they do this? Just curious.
There’s like a $100 difference between those that bought last week and those that are buying today.
CoronitaParticipantWell the other thing is that I think I’ve been seeing more activity from more of the youngsters that are now moving out of their parent’s home, now that more of them have a real job.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsdd]…I am still debating whether to raise rents on my MM rentals. I have kept the rent the same for the last 5 years. I think the tenants know that they got a bargain. $1900 for a 4/2.[/quote]
Yup.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=FlyerInHi]The greed comment is a little sarcastic.
Policy should be for the common good. Here you’re talking big picture about things that would make a better society.
Your own business dealings should be for your own good. No contradiction or hypocrisy. You may want to be nice sometimes, but you don’t have to. You have the right to maximize your earnings. Here, you’re working within the existing status quo.
Now, wanting policies that serve your purposes, and making people believe that those policies would serve them when it’s the opposite, is hypocritical.
Examples: working at Goldman Sacks and advocating for social justice is admirable. Working at Goldman and working against social justice is venal.[/quote]
I wasn’t suggesting hypocrisy. But now that you mention it….
CoronitaParticipant[quote=FlyerInHi]Greed is good.
To relate to the rent thread, a guy told me that he went to a large complex. They quoted him a certain rent, say $1700. While he was thinking about it, they emailed him back “based on overwhelming demand, the rent is now $1,800″[/quote]
Brian, that doesn’t seem jive with your philosophical and political belief from the past. What happened?
CoronitaParticipant[quote=Geedup]I just thought I would ask the seller for the asking price before it went on the market at 5% selling commission and before any repairs including Termite section 1 were completed.[/quote]
There nothing wrong asking but
If the market is hot, perhaps the seller might try selling “as is”, start with a lower number, get multiple offers into a bidding war and let people’s emotions take over. Kind of like the way eBay works.
Especially, if the seller finds a buyer out of state itching to buy in a hurry. I’ve tracked a few purchases that closed recently and it seems like the out of the state buyers tend to overpay in order to close.Well I guess that’s how it works in the bay area.
If this sounds horrible, its not. Because if this was a buyers market, buyers would be doing the exact opposite to try to get the lowest price possible.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=livinincali][quote=flu]mira mesa rent keeps going up too[/quote]
Mira mesa on the other hand is up about 7% yoy although the year over year rent increase has been decreasing the last 3 quarters. It was 8.2% in 2015Q2 it’s 6.8% in 2016Q1.
There is a huge property coming late this year or early next year. Case Mira View Phase 2 is going to add 1165 units.[/quote]
Casa Mira View hasn’t really affected condo rent prices in the area, because that complex is pretty much high end. High end prices in mira mesa that is almost the same price as rent prices in apartments in carmel valley.
Not saying it’s not going to be successful. It’s just a different sub market.
In general, despite Qualcomm’s misfortunes, it doesn’t seem like there is a significantslowdown in the business activity in Sorrento Valley. Perhaps, as many have been saying San Diego has more diverse economy than most of us think.
Looking at rental availability for someone starting out, it’s pretty slim pickings… 1 bedrooms are close to $1400 now, more for large complexes.
Resale isn’t much better. Asking prices for 1/1’s are starting to get over $200k and over and 2/2 closer to $300k and over.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=Geedup]I would be interested in buying as it is before you list it. Let me know what price you have in mind . I’ll send you a PM[/quote]
In a seller’s market, why would a seller not want to put this on the market and try to sell it without listing it to get the top price?
