ParticipantAnyone else here think that OIL is oversold? I am thinking of bottom-fishing get scoop up some shares.
Participantgo to link outa provided and enter the ff’s name. It looks like the guy’s base pay is half of what it was 2 years ago. don’t know how the pay system works, here’s my wild-ass theory: become a part-time worker (hence the smaller base salary), any hours you put in above and beyond that would be counted as overtime?

edit: tell your kids to screw college – STEM or otherwise. Just grow up and be a firefighter.

Anyways, agree with xbox suggestion. Drive around the ‘hood and go to open houses will give you a better feel of what’s available and how much. Also opportunity to see and talk to the agents – you might find your agent that way. For $700K, you should be able to get something in west clairemont/bay ho/morena; and maybe even one with a view of the bay.[/quote]
Agree with the italicized portion. Homes in northern 92110 and the southern and western portion of 92117 (as opposed to 92111/northern and eastern 92117) are “worth” ~$700K. I really feel like the OP may still be able to find a cosmetic fixer, especially in SW 92117 … that is, IF he has given up on parking a big toy on his lot.
You can “shake your head” all you want, ltsdd, but most of those early ’60’s tracts in Clairemont (92111) weren’t built very well. They were built for an ~$11K purchase price primarily to house defense workers and their families who relocated here from “flyover country.”[/quote]
Give a counter example to Clairemont’s “weren’t built very well” claim. Which community in San Diego that was built in the 50s & 60s that was not “weren’t built very well.”

Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]Money money money…[/quote]
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
…Money, money, moneyI love that song.
ParticipantI find ben stein’s books very therapeutic. specifically these:
Yes, you can retire comfortably &
Yes, you can be a successful income investor
Very little philosophy of life and very much practical and applicable to the conundrum of life.
Participantflu,
wouldn’t you agree, though, that the bigger salary help facilitate your getting out of the rat race at a much younger age than a typical 9-5 salaryman?Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]I’m extremely interested in what will happen to my kids, but deep down I know it will ultimately primarily be suffering and disappointment, with occasional boredom, same as it has been for all mankind for millenia.[/quote]
That’s how I see things also. It’s pretty much a struggle throughout k-12, then college, then “life”. I am working hard to get out of the rat race and get my life back. But by then there will be new struggles and battles – old age and bad health. Life sucks.
ParticipantThe rendering of Resort world looks really nice.
There’s no meaningful new building to speak of in vegas in recent years. The last major thing to go up is probably city center. CC hasn’t been good to the investors. As for the number of visitors – the stock price of the casinos is a good indicator of how much less foot traffic they’ve been getting.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]
The author of the article is quite clueless. The casinos, both in vegas and macau, have been taking a beating since early 2014. So, I am not sure what kind of “revival” he’s talking about. The “corruption” crackdowns pursued by the chinese govt had a lot to do with it. As for baccarat, that game has been popular in vegas for as long as….when asians first showed up. The question is if this corruption crackdown is to continue, what kind of affect does it have on the real estate buying by the chinese?
Participant[quote=svelte]but the best way to get rid of them? Don’t talk to them! .[/quote]
Excellent advice….except, most people just love to hear themselves talking…..and some like a effing broken record that repeats the same sh!t over and over again.
ParticipantI think Harvey was referring to the McD’s massacre in San Ysidro(?) about 30 years ago. That was brutal.
ParticipantEvery time I hear the word “Porsche”, this video comes to mind. Man vs boys
