[quote=njtosd][quote=millennial]That’s funny. I said the same exact thing. They must have been freaked out with a black president named Obama.[/quote]

Being unhappy with an outcome is not the same as being “freaked out”. (This is the first time one of your posts has lived up to your screen name, in my opinion. ) I don’t remember Supreme Court justices threatening to move to New Zealand, or people “protesting” (aka whining) in the streets over the presidential outcome in ’08 or ’12. I think it’s a matter of bruised ego for a lot of the intellectual types.[/quote]
I have no idea what you mean about “living up to my screen name” but I think there are legitimately a lot of people actually freaked out. Maybe not the “intellectual types” you speak of but when I walk into my office and see reactions of Mexican American coworkers they are actually scared of the outcome of this election. This is real to them, maybe you wouldn’t consider them as the intellectual type but they are “freaked out”. Or how do I respond to Muslim Americans who are worried about getting deported based on their religion? Tell me how do I respond to them? Maybe for intellectual types like you and bearish girl this is a game, but for many Americans who this may affect this actually may mean something.

For intellectuals like my friends and I we are also freaked out to the point where it’s hard to sleep at night. The ability for him to control not only the executive and legislative branches but also the judicial is a big deal and based on what he has said you should definitely be scared.

[quote=dumbrenter][quote=livinincali]Not exactly sure what you are looking for but check out finviz.com[/quote]

Thanks for the reference.
I am looking for something similar to google finance stock screener where I could quickly sort thru and filter based on market cap, dividend, gross margins etc.[/quote]

I use Ameritrade to screen, which allows you to filter based on those criteria and much more. They also have a trade architect system and access to Level 2 quotes. Which allows you to watch minute-to-minute trade volume and add indicators as you see fit. You can also add technical charts like a candlestick chart on the bottom and adjust timelines. Personally I would go that route if I were you.

[quote=svelte]And doubly confounding that the markets are OK today. So far. This is exactly why I could never be a day trader. Extremely hard to figure out what the markets will do next.[/quote]

Being a contrarian myself, I feel today was a great day to be in the market. Right now everyone is worried about things going bad, which made me finally sell off my remaining gold and silver.

[quote=FlyerInHi]Millennial, i don’t know if you can speak to this….

I feel like millennials are independent thinkers who don’t like authoritarianism from their elders. They prefer to be talked to as friends, if not they will just ignore whatever is said.

That’s in contrast to how the greatest generation raised their kids, perhaps with spanking, corporal punishment, scolding.

Boomers want to be loved so they have to control themselves. They want to be friends with their kids and grandkids on facebook. Condescension will cause them to be blocked real quick. So I believe that millennials are in a strong position to sway their elders.[/quote]

I think your correct about our generation. We are free thinkers, but I feel we are rational. For instance, we don’t give respect based on age or seniority, but based on meritocracy. For instance, if my manager came to me and started the conversation with “how long they’ve been working here” I wouldn’t give them much respect. Instead they should start the conversation about “how they have helped the company and what they did while here”.

Just like how you describe the Boomers, the Millenials also want to be loved and we also value time with friends and family. That’s why we take advantage of things like social media and flex time at work.

[quote=FlyerInHi]Millennial, i was looking for a multiunit but those are impossible to find in a decent area.
There are many multi units but on deplorable streets full of other multi units so there would be spillover problems.

I believe in gentrification of older centrally located areas. But it’s hard to get owners on board. Some landlords are so cheap they won’t replace water valves until there are leaks. They don’t do any maintenance.[/quote]

It sounds like you have a problem, but it also sounds like that many on the HOA board will agree to some maintenance improvements. What’s the ratio of rent vs. own in the complex? I think many owners would be OK with increase monthly HOA dues to improve the value of their property and if you can sell the idea to landlords that improved property/amenities = higher rents you will get their vote as well. I haven’t invested in Nevada before so don’t know if their is rent control, but you could try and increase rents to not only cover maintenance CAPEX but also some discretionary CAPEX and attract those that would appreciate the improved amenities and grounds. Typically those that appreciate their home will treat it nice as well.

[millennial]

I have invested in areas such as the one you mention for the same exact reasons. In fact it sounds very similar in terms of avg. rent; except the property is located just north of downtown Phoenix and the purchase for the whole multifamily complex. I did it this way to avoid some of the problems you are currently having; and would advise going that route if possible.

[quote=harvey]Unfortunately the Moore film is being presented on You Tube and elsewhere in short edits of scenes where Moore sympathizes with the concerns of Trump supporters.

The You Tube clips are being portrayed as “Michael Moore is pro Trump” as they are in the OP.

Typical tactics of today’s American right wing.

The American Right seems to be incapable of understanding that film and interviews can actually be edited in misleading way. The O’Keefe films are a comedy of ametuer parlor tricks, but so many just accept them as compelling proof.

Yup, the You Tube clip of the Moore film fooled the OP and many others.

Change the name of the thread to Actually watch the whole fucking movie to See How Michael Moore explains why Hillary should win

…or better yet keep it up as a monument the flames of ignorance that Trump seems to be fanning so well.[/quote]

[quote=flu]I’m not going to try to provide mortgage advice, since I’m not a loan officer. The best bet would be fore you to consult a loan guy. There is a guy that occasionally visits here named “HLS”. Send him a private message from your account ,and he’s usually pretty good at responding over PM….[/quote]
I would have to agree, you should probably talk to a loan officer. But I get what you are trying to do. You would rather lock in the rate on the first right now with a lower monthly payment and get the 2nd on the difference to get a lower interest only payment; knowing that you’ll pay that off in couple years. To me it seems logical, but you’ll have a variable interest rate on the second and it might be higher. Not sure if this option exists, but you might be able to have a fixed 5/5 or 10/10 rate on the 2nd too if you want to lock in the rate. From what it sounds like though, I’m assuming you have a cash flow problem instead of a leverage problem…or maybe both. If that’s the case the 5 or 10 year amort. won’t work.

[millennial]

The original question is tough to decipher but it seems like you want to take out a $400 30 year fixed loan and a 2nd on the home for $150 totaling around $550 instead of just doing a 30 year fixed mortgage for $550. This way you can have a lower monthly payment by having a P&I payment for $400 and just an interest only payment on the $150. In another couple years you are planning on paying off the variable rate loan and having a fixed 30 year at today’s rates instead of refinancing. If that’s the case I think it makes sense.

Just watched it and it was pretty good. Was interested because of a Vote for Trump rant and realized about halfway through that he is a strong Clinton fan. At the end I bet all the trump voters in the room will be voting Hilary along with many others.

I don’t care whether you agree with MM or not, he is VERY full of himself and does not come across as a nice guy. I don’t think he operates based on his concern for the downtrodden. I think his engine runs on hate for the 1%, of which he is now a part.[/quote]

Trump’s appeal isn’t the right way of looking at this election. Hillary’s appeal is rather low as well. This election comes down to how the people that don’t really like either candidate vote or don’t vote for them. I think Hillary will probably win. She’ll possibly win big if voter turnout is good, but I don’t think voter turnout is going to be very good. Trump’s path to victory is low voter turnout. Are the disenfranchised Black and Hispanic voter who tend to vote at polling places going to show up and possibly wait in line to vote for Hillary. They did enthusiastically for Obama but I don’t really see it for Hillary.[/quote]

I am willing to bet that Hillary will win by a wider margin than Obama won in 2012. More electoral votes.

If i lose, I give my word of honor I will donate $500 to next republican nominee. Are you willing to donate to the Democratic nominee in 2020?[/quote]. Sure. But if you win it’s cause the whole thing is rigged

[millennial]

[quote=CA renter]Yep. I’ve been telling people that if Bernie didn’t make it past Clinton’s firewall, Trump would win in November.[/quote]

I really can’t see how Trump can win when his appeal is to such a small minority of people. Yes you are correct that he creates very strong reactions one way or the other, but his chances to win are slim to none. The only scenario I could see him winning is if it was a tight race between 3 or more candidates. I think he has a strong appeal to 25%-35% of the population (predominately white, male, lower-middle class) who will make it in droves to the voting booths. However the rest of America loathes him.

Wow I might have to vote for trump
