  1. This is from 2020 data. The takeaway is that some metro areas will be better to BUY in any given market, while others would be better to RENT at that moment in time. And this is a sliding scale, subject to change based on local market conditions. Generically speaking, buying becomes cheaper than renting if you're aiming for a timeframe of more than 5 years.
  2. When we built our starter-home, 3BR/2BA house in Charlotte, we struggled at the $100k+ price point. Zillow currently has its "Zestimate" around $350k. It has a reasonable, accessible location -- but couldn't imagine it going for more than $250k.
  3. Biggest problem coming in aren't necessarily ARMs, but the fact that banks/mortgage companies are looking at shifting from the traditional 30yr loan to a 40yr or even 50yr loan period. Those longer terms loans may make monthly payments appear to be more affordable, but the long-term impact is going to be bad. Folks won't be thinking about paying off their loans early and going into retirement (relatively) debt-free if these become popular.
  4. One problem with Eth is the high "gas" fee for transactions, making it fairly impractical for day-to-day living. https://www.yahoo.com/video/ethereum-going-solve-fee-problem-110046619.html Stolen from the Reddit, why cryptocurrency transactions are currently problematic for the average user: Buy this coin, to move that coin from this wallet to your other wallet but you need to do it on this platform but make sure you buy some of these coins to get a discount but they’ll get burned with your transaction and make sure you’re sending on the right blockchain and the address is correct, check the first and last few digits and maybe do it thru a text editor so you don’t screw anything up, then you gotta pay this fee but it’s in this other coin. Ok you’re good to go. Oh btw, there’s no guarantee or insurance against you losing your money forever so you sit there biting your nails for 30 minutes to 2 days because you chose a slower transaction to cut on costs.
  5. Why would you want to? What's wrong with using current, established forms of payment?
  6. Saw this about how more than just a few people are a bit unhappy with Robin Hood Lots of comments about account freezes, inability to move money out of the account or otherwise access money, can't sell assets in a timely manner, etc. Other than the cryptocurrency aspect, what does RobinHood do that Schwab/Fidelity/eTrade/etc aren't? : https://gizmodo.com/robinhood-ftc-complaints-covid-19-pandemic-1848766631
  7. Not an F1 fan (but I know people who are). I mean, I've watched races occasionally - but I'm not making any appointment watching for any of the lineups. Except for the recently announced Vegas race, taking place on Thanksgiving saturday this year. The course looks insane, running down the Strip from the Palazzo/Wynn down to Planet Hollywood, then east around them back to the Wynn. At night. Yeah, I'm watching that one.
  8. Yeah, we've had a number of players who were pretty darn good (pro bowl, DPOY, etc) that we had to let go or left on their own (Peppers is a great example). Or anybody on the Bills roster -- still hate that we lost Efe. You're right -- really was looking at those talents that never realized any potential at all for us that became incredible after they left us. All in the name of "if only we had kept them, what could have been...."
  9. Which players have the Panthers signed (as rookie or underperforming vets) and then later traded away or otherwise let go... then later turned into total superstar performers for other teams? Example: the Falcons having Brett Favre on their bench and then letting him go be a superstar for the Packers. Not an example : Olsen or Cam, as they were superstar for us before they left us to play elsewhere.
  10. If you had to rank ALL of our 25+ years of starting QBs from "The Best" to "Absolute Worst" --- Weinke wouldn't be at the bottom of that list. Right? RIGHT?
  11. What's the price point on this, and would you buy it ?
  12. All that graph tells us is that we could have it worse.
  13. We drink what we like. Occasionally find a new label that hits our tastes better than others. Current weekday fav is a $13 red wine blend from Austin Hope which reminds me of some old vine zins that we've enjoyed. Weekend drinking is a bit more eclectic.
  14. Early estimates are there should be about an 8% upside bump post-split, good for long-term holders (this isn't taking into account annual benefits from their increased advertising sales, AWS improvements, etc)
  15. Reading all the Twitter love from the Ravens fanbase saying that they're not just losing a great player, but that he's the nicest, classiest player as well.
  16. CAH is fun the first time you play it. Then it's only fun if you have a *massive* amount of available cards Then it's only fun if people just randomly throw cards away in search of the "funny" responses Many many years ago, CAH did a promotion where you could get a custom card printed with your name (or whatever you wanted) on it.
  17. " It’s three first-round picks, a third-rounder and late-round pick swap, a fourth for a fifth." The way things are looking on our end, Houston wouldn't have had our first round picks until the 2028 season.
  18. Priced in for current state, yes. Long term business plan relies on a never-ending supply of new people who need to be hooked in as subscribers
  19. NFLX (and Hulu, and Meta.... and Disney+ etc) all have the same rough problem: once you've already signed up the entire world for your service, how do you get more revenue without causing current subscribers to get frustrated and leave?
  20. you could still purchase the day of the 20-1 split for the same amount of money you're considering now (EARLY in the day!!!) and ride that wave from there. I predict that when the split occurs, the stock will end up *around* $175/$200 (could be as low as $150, but I doubt it). It'll probably go up about $100 in the first week as the casual investor jumps in. We should see slightly less volatility in AMZN vs what we've had due to the lower price point. (ie no $100+ point daily swings for a while, but maybe $15-20 instead)
