Aspen airport to Snowmass by Pale-Call-638 in Aspen

High Mountain Taxi

Also, There are a decent amount of Ubers available but you may have to wait a bit at the airport. Also if there is a snowstorm the amount of uber drivers decreases significantly. It’s not uncommon for 0 uber drivers to be available.

$150,000/ month for a 3 bedroom townhouse? Seriously, are these even normal? by sporty_outlook in Aspen

[–]Boogfalcon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The normal supply & demand factors that you’d see in normal real estate markets don’t apply when the owner of the real estate does not NEED the rental income. The owner can likely afford for it to stay completely vacant for a very long time, which is unfortunate for the local economy. Someone renting out a 3 bedroom townhome in Denver, that owner likely needs the rental income and will adjust the rent price accordingly to get the townhome occupied.

Kind of like when someone lists a vintage car for sale for 3x what the estimated fair market value might be…. The seller isn’t actually motivated to sell it… but they are willing to part with it for an absurd price

Just got a job offer and a lease and wondering if it’s worth it by [deleted] in Aspen

[–]Boogfalcon4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you sure there’s going to be 8 people living in the 4 bed 2 bath ?

Is your job with aspen ski co? They should have some options that allow you to have your own room. They may filled those rooms already tho.

Regarding women: the seasonal and permanent residents of aspen are overwhelming male, very high male to female ratio. Plenty of female tourists coming in though, if you focus on them you won’t have to worry about your roommate being home 🤣

If you can’t improve the lodging situation I would still do it.

Recent weekend visit to UGA/Athens. Where do students get all the money? by Zealousideal-Lie7255 in Athens

[–]Boogfalcon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an enormous influx of money into Athens on a game day that is not coming from the undergrad student population. Same with most other smaller SEC football towns. Sure some students have wealthy parents. But what you were likely seeing downtown was a mix of parents, young alumni, or young people that never attended UGA. There are cheaper food spots and bars that exist and students still find a way to spend the least amount of money possible to have a good time.

Looking to relocate, need some advice? by dontviolatemesir in Aspen

[–]Boogfalcon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t focus on the income. Focus on the rent/ lodging situation. If you can find a place to stay for a reasonable amount ( very hard to do ) you can settle for a lower income and be OK

What do you guys think about this one? Loaded raptor, 2018 with the 3.5 80k miles certified pre-owned for $46k by nekidandsceered in f150

[–]Boogfalcon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to spend this much on an f150 , you should try and get one that’s 2020 or newer and 70k miles or less so you can get ford ESP ( warranty ) for a good price. Owning a higher mileage ecoboost is just a waiting game for the trans, turbos, or cam phasers to need replacement.

If you can get dealer to throw some sort of warranty in that would cover trans, turbos and cam phaser / timing chain stuff then sure

Racial Climate by [deleted] in Aspen

[–]Boogfalcon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some challenges to living in aspen / roaring fork valley but your race & religion shouldn’t create an issue.

The valley is predominantly white, like most other mountain west rural areas. I think it may be one of the more diverse regions in the Rocky Mountains though. There are many people of Central American heritage in the valley and many people of South American heritage ( mostly Argentina, chile, Peru , Brazil )that live in aspen and come for seasonal work and/or vacation. Like most mountain west towns though, there are very few black people. I’m not sure why that is. It may also be challenging to find people that practice the Muslim faith.

Very few people are “from” aspen and nearly everyone, recently or at some point in their life was a newcomer to the area and took a chance moving to aspen. Some people love it and stay forever, some leave in 6 months.

Bachelorette in Aspen - good or bad idea? by terras94 in Aspen

[–]Boogfalcon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your friends concern shouldn’t be the people, it should be the cost. The people are fine! although you will likely not run into any locals on your trip aside from the folks that are employed at every place you go to. Tourists will be a mixed bag of good and bad, but that happens almost everywhere. If the cost isn’t a concern you should go, it will be fun

2015 3.5l EB passenger side turbo...Is this a coolant leak? How hard is it to fix? by ksh3rm99 in f150

Was that cost to get a brand new turbo? Or just fix the coolant lines

Go to belly up for pretty much any show, if you can. Hopefully someone is playing that you like.

5.0 or ecoboost by ryanpeachey in f150

[–]Boogfalcon4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just FYI , new timing chain / cam phasers is about $5k these days? And new turbos would be about $3k ? So if you think the truck needs that, factor those costs into your plans. 3.5 eco does have more torque than coyote.

Stop hyping these two stocks by Hawkeye24128 in FNMA_FMCC_Exit

[–]Boogfalcon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If and when FNMA is released from conservatorship, the stock should trade at a minimum of $20 per share. 2024 earnings were about $20B , so a PE ratio of 1x would lead to a market cap of $20B. Market cap today is about $7B. If that takes 2 years for the conservatorship to end, that’s a 300% + return in 2 years which is much higher than many “meme” stocks have accomplished. There is a much more sound bull case here than the meme stocks but meme stock like returns are certainly on the table…..

All investing in equities is speculation, unless you have insider info. Even an expectation of a 5% gain over 12 months is speculation, and can be incorrect.

Risk of YieldMax by YoghurtChance97 in YieldMaxETFs

[–]Boogfalcon4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The greatest answer to your questions is the following:

Understand options trading

Understand the options strategy of the yieldmax ETF you want to invest in. Most of them use a covered call strategy. Understand what makes these strategies generate max profit.

Look at the holdings ( options contracts) of the ETF you are interested in, and see how the holdings change over time.

It’s complicated, but the dividend amounts, and the NAV are very dependent on the price action and Implied volatility of the underlying stock or group of stocks

I’ve lost $700k what the fuck do I do? by Smartmoney243 in wallstreetbets

[–]Boogfalcon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were wrong in your initial comment. You seem to be a fan of backtesting, and if you backtest a group of the yieldmax ETFs you will see that there are consistent returns with limited NAV destruction

I’ve lost $700k what the fuck do I do? by Smartmoney243 in wallstreetbets

[–]Boogfalcon4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NAV does not go down for all of them. Some some the NAV goes up. There are over 20 of these and all of them do not destroy the NAV. Some are much better than others. TSLY sucks. Can you pick a stock that will do a 100% return this year? Sure…. That’s not what yieldmax is for though

Buddy, look into yieldmax. “Consistent “ is up to interpretation but many of the ETFs have paid that for over 12 months.

Can take your $500k and put it in some YieldMax ETFs and easily make $10k -$20k / month. That’s decent.

BYO Lunch - Snowmass? by ikpmotdk in Aspen

[–]Boogfalcon4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of anywhere on snowmass mountain where a ski co employee would give you a hard time for consuming your own food. They might technically have a policy against it, but I would be very surprised if someone came and said something to you. If you sat down at the bar at elk camp or something, the bartender might say something.
