[quote=teatsonabull]urban: it is mean, i agree

“buy now or be priced out forever” was also mean and proved to be very harmful to, perhaps, millions of Americans

my comment was hurtful, not harmful…brutal honesty is often a very good wake-up call…America sure could use one[/quote]

Sure dude. You seem much more noble now.

You basically bragged about being a rude tool to a stranger. When I criticized you for it, you defend it by claiming that salesmen are…well.. sales-y and that you are doing him some sort of favor by being “brutally honest”. Makes me wonder what kind of favors could be done for you.

I am sure he benefited greatly from your noble lesson.

I certainly have.

Its the location and view they are selling. The 750 is for the house that was there previously. They tore that down and put up townhomes.

Probably too expensive but people really do buy those and with that view there is an outside possibility they might get it.

Stuff on Banker’s Hill with harbor views seem to make attorneys get all oozy buttery for some reason.

To the author:

The other confusion is that the team referenced on the bottom did not have the listing.
Another agent with their firm did.

I saw that unit. Not really a lot to crow about. There are better deals at that price point.

To Teats:

Seems kind of mean to interrupt someone else’s conversation to just talk smack to them and tease them for not making enough money. Based on your version, you sound like kind of a tool. Maybe the realtor described you in more favorable terms. I am doubting it.

[quote=cashflow]I’ll move the discussion back to the initial commentby socratt.

Where to hold your cash….There’s been alot of talk on here about how Gold, although at a high, will still move higher and would be a good place to move some of your cash. Any ideas on what percentage of holdings to move to gold? Also, how risky would this move be?

There’s gotta be better ideas than stuffing your pillows with dollar bills (could end up being a paper filler as the printing presses keep going off).

Well you have a point. There will be an inflationary component. How that will interact with the deflationary component of reduced buying power is unclear. It is also unclear as to where commodities will be in terms of real wealth in the next couple of years.
Further, it is wise to remember that while the Fed and Paulson are essentially offering unlimited lines, it is not as though we are printing palettes of money (like Latin America in the 80’s, or Germany in the 30’s, or Zimbabwe now. Its unclear where the dollar will land relative to other forms of cash or commodity values. Considering that dollar-denominated items are the only wealth vehicle that are insured (though yes, in dollars) in a way I trust,they don’t seem like such a bad option.
