[quote=danthedart]I’m purposely missing Stewart’s main premise because that would be taking him seriously. You don’t take a comedian seriously right? I’m not buying anything from a self proclaimed snake oil salesman.

All this time I was thinking that you had misunderstood Stewart’s line of questioning. But now you come out and admit that you’re intentionally misrepresenting his views. What a waste of time.ltokudaParticipant[quote=barnaby33]On Wall St, early = wrong.
Josh[/quote]PS predicted that the S&P500 would fall to 600 by the spring of ’07. Obviously, that timing was way off.
But to be fair, PS recommended buying RYURX, which is an inverse S&P500 fund. The S&P500 was at 1301 when she made the call (August 28, 2006). That investment is doing very well, to say the least.
That being said, I’ve read a lot of PS’s posts and she’s not all that credible to me.

ltokudaParticipantlostkitty, for walkability, its hard to beat the beach cities. Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo Beach all have nice areas where you can find unique shops and restaurants to go to. There’s also a long path called “The strand” that goes for 20+ miles along the beach. Its great for walking, biking, roller blading, jogging, etc.
In Manhattan Beach, many of the stores and restaurants are near Manhattan Beach Blvd. In Hermosa Beach, the main area is on Pier Ave. In Redondo Beach, there’s a lot of stuff on Catalina Ave. If you can rent a place near any of these areas, you’ll be in a very walkable neighborhood.
If I had to rank these beaches on beauty, it would probably be: Manhattan #1, Hermosa #2, and Redondo #3. But I think they are all very nice beaches. I think your kids would love living in any of these areas.
PV is definitely not a beach city. Its not very walkable at all. On the plus side its a very nice city with very good schools.
Personally, I think your kids will probably enjoy the beach cities more than PV. From my experience, I’ve found that the closer I live to the beach, the more I like L.A. There’s always so much activity going on at the beaches. The closer you are to those activities, the more you tend to participate in them.

November 23, 2008 at 11:14 AM in reply to: North Park: will prices get lower? rent vs wait vs move #308135ltokudaParticipantSome friends of mine started flipping houses in Riverside recently. The houses that they are buying are damaged and usually need about $20k of rehab work. If they buy a house for, say, $100k, they rehab them and sell them for about $160k. This type of house would rent for about $1350/mo right now. In order to find these deals, my friends might bid on 30 properties and only get 1 hit. The point is that on the low end side, there are deals to be had if you look really hard for them and are able to do the rehab.
The prices in Riverside are still coming down, though. That’s why my friends are flipping the properties. They don’t want to get stuck with an asset that is depreciating in value. We believe that by late next year, the low end will be very close to its bottom. At that point, I’ll start looking a properties to buy and hold as long term investments. There are some good deals to be had right now. But there will be even better deals in Riverside in the future.
