ParticipantOr the broker screwed Fido when writing the listing.

ParticipantOTOH the 9-pin connector appears a lot more robust than either micro-USB or the current multi (thin) pin connector. Yeah, the lockdown thing is stupid, but that seems to be Apple’s way.
Maybe it wouldn’t have been if Jobs had the good grace to resign before he went totally senile.

Bubble 2.0 when people are buying for monthly payments that exceed rents for the same property. Right now, it’s just investors chasing dividends and making money off the backs of the bum-losers who got themselves foreclosed on.

Also, unlike stocks, prices are driven by assessments, which change slowly.
Buy if the numbers make sense — if mortgage payments (i.e. principal + interest) are say 5,5% or 6% of the property value, you can lock a rate for 30 years, and the cash cap rate is 7%+, then by all means… If cash cap rate is 4% and you’re not paying cash, then forget it.

Ah well, plenty of properties to pick from on this coast (basically like SD in late 2008).
Participant3 mi is 45 minutes’ walk. Just sayin’ 🙂
ParticipantThe good news about home values is that REOs are just starting to hit the market again in the NYC/NJ area.
Just got back from looking at a decent bank-owned duplex offered for $120k, needing maybe $20k of work, and capping out at between 8% and 9% in the end.
September 7, 2012 at 2:09 PM in reply to: Whoa: ECB bailout move…Significant, or more hand waving? #751241ParticipantECB did the correct thing. Why should the Germans be punished for what the ignorant f**ks in Ireland and Southern Europe f**ked up? The only incorrect dithering is the dithering on kicking the Greeks, Irish, Italians, and Spaniards right out of the Euro.
ParticipantI prefer to goose-step up to the other person and give a Fascist salute. No namby-pamby bowing or handshaking for me, no way.
Participant…as are dividends on any stable stocks. But hey, if it keeps money out of real-estate, that’s a good thing.
This being said, here’s hoping for DOW 8000 after an Obama win! *clink*
September 6, 2012 at 10:20 AM in reply to: Whoa: ECB bailout move…Significant, or more hand waving? #751184ParticipantEuro is at ~1.265, not too far from the 2010 lows. Not much effect, though it will pop stocks temporarily.
ParticipantWhat’s your opinion of the Grand Rapids area, where the economy seems to be doing somewhat better than around Detroit? (IMHO) Detroit area won’t really take of till it has fixed its slight corruption problem.
