Have noticed inventory seems to be increasing in the cheaper zip codes as opposed to the pricier ones. La Mesa is still pretty tight inventory wise, i could use a euphemism here but I shall resist.

I guess it depends on the sq. ft. of the 2 units but it looks like a very detailed listing to me. How many sq. ft. is the unit you are renting? Fake listings might be a way to make rents look lower, but don’t think that is the case here.

Yes I like the idea of a HSA, currently have a flexible spending account where I have to guess how much I will be needing a year in advance and if I’m wrong can only carry over $500 to the next year. I really should get a doctor for yearly checkups but I’m afraid they might find something like stage 4 lung cancer like in the movie Dead Pool (dad smoked a lot when I was young). Anybody recommend a reasonably priced but excellent doctor?

I apologize as I am responsible for higher medical prices, don’t have a doctor or take medicine so they have to get their money from other people like you. If people boycotted doctors and drugs do you think prices would go down or up? Obviously I don’t have an MRI machine at home or do surgery on myself so I’m also at their whim. My brother got an MRI recently and was charged $2900 just to interpret it, ridiculous!

We didn’t do it earlier because it was too expensive for most people. I do love that the LED’s are cheaper because I doubt they will be lasting 23 years like they say on the package.

Not sure about this one ↑ you do know that in La Jolla the average house is going for $4.3 Million http://www.sdlookup.com/Market-92037-La_Jolla. It might take more than the average 20% down to make it pencil out positive cash flow. I was even surprised to find out that the $5 Million dollar house being raffled by Ronald McDonald House Charities is only slightly above average in price for the zip code.

I have a similar policy originally bought for the same reason. Though I do think all insurance is essentially a bet against yourself, I will keep mine as it does statistically increase in value as the chance of dying increases with age. The only way I would stop mine would be in case of financial hardship. If you are more than halfway through the term then you are better off keeping it in my opinion. P.S.- getting term life after 50 becomes very expensive for say a 20 year policy.

Thanks gzz, I had forgotten about earnings being a negative thing on a short. I don’t want to go public with the stock like Bill Ackman did, not a good idea to attract too much attention.
If I short a stock who would be the initiating party on a margin call?

[moneymaker]

Just checked margin rates for short selling with Scottrade and they are like credit cards, ridiculously high. Ok so maybe not as high as credit cards but still higher than I think they should be. Well if I invest cash then the interest is a mute point I guess, have never done a short but am highly motivated to short a particular stock now so may pull the trigger, and no I don’t have any inside info, just common sense.

[moneymaker]

Agreed!

After thinking about it awhile I guess they will probably be using the same frequencies that they use for satellite communications or perhaps the new 5G frequencies.

I’m a little more pessimistic, I give it 2 months, then the honeymoon will be over. On the bright side I am planning on taking advantage of currency devaluation in the UK in May after the Brexit actually starts.

Yes if one was well versed in mathematics one could calculate the theoretical value of a company if stock was sold to the last piece of stock but that would never really happen. Liquidation value is something that can be measured.Stock price times number of outstanding shares divided by liquidation value might be an interesting number.

Really long read flu,
Just have one question, who is going to come out with 5G and when will it be here? I’m assuming they will have to build a whole new parallel tower system which sounds expensive for the provider but lucrative for the supplier.
Ok just looked at the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G super long but very interesting.

I see your sarcasm FlyerInHi and I’ll raise that Trump can’t do anything to repel the red tape in CA. The competition between the states is really all about regulation and taxes, all self imposed. So it does level out and reach equilibrium eventually. People leave and then they come back, I haven’t left yet but I know a few that say when they retire they are leaving, we’ll see if they walk the talk.
