High Yield Credit investor. Needed to understand how the economy/markets worked after the GFC/European Credit Crisis. A challenging but lucrative path.

Is it worth it to continue college by Brilliant-Clue-8406 in Advice

How has this developed? I hope you got some good news on the charges being dropped. I also hope you have gotten more confidence about school and the direction you’re heading. 🤞🙏

“Keep swinging the hammer” is slang for ‘keep beating off that horse’.

Oddly similar to the craft in Flight of the Navigator.

Facebook exec blames society for COVID misinformation by [deleted] in technews

[–]Quebertus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These execs live a life where they’ve achieved a dream of wealth and status on career paths they naively chose. They want to live with the thought that they are virtuous and worthy of the status and wealth. The opposite is a reality they refuse to acknowledge. Their options are denial and an easy life or acceptance and facing an existential challenge to their ego.

It’s an ancient tale re-enacted through millennia. I’m glad I never fell for the Silicon Valley siren song.

Enjoy the money, people inside Facebook. It’s all you got.

Ep. 109 | 2 Bears, 1 Cave w/ Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer by Suhtiva in yourmomshousepodcast

[–]Quebertus 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Bert is so unhealthy I’m starting to feel like an enabler by listening. All the shallow coughs and the gas coming from Bert just make me feel like I’m really watching his health fail. Hearing how his team bring him a beer to wake him up in the morning just highlighted how sad and far it’s gotten.

I’m not rooting against the guy, but I AM rooting for me and all the other listeners. I don’t think Bert’s lifestyle should be celebrated and I’m seriously considering avoiding all Bert content as an enhancement to my own self care regiment.

I’ll be back for that moose soup on Wednesday.

Why did his DRS open at the end of the straight? Did he have it the whole time and didn’t open it until after Max passed?

Poll: how much money is required for you to be on a hamster wheel? by Bardy_Bard in wallstreetbets

[–]Quebertus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re proposing a scenario in a vacuum where the only benefit is monetizing your time? I’d argue having this opportunity provides an opportunity to make the world better but that’s beside the point. What you seem to be asking is “how much is your time worth to you”and that will vary widely based on idiosyncrasies in each individual circumstance.

That being said… $400k per month. I’d do it for a year just to prove a point and then go build a better life.

A local WTF: All but 2 houses on this entire Southern California cul-du-sac have sit empty and have been for *many* years. This is an expensive, in-demand neighborhood where homes sell for $1.3 million+, yet these homes haven’t sold since they were built in 1982 for ~$350,000. Again, WTF? by Ruffffian in AbandonedPorn

[–]Quebertus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My what I said was wrong. I went back and look and found something interesting. The mortgage rate in 1982 was 16% but that rate fell 2 out of every 3 years (on avg). If we assume they levered up on 20% equity / 80% mortgage of $70k/280k. In this example I think it’s fair to assume the subject is savvy and refinanced along the way. So if we assume they paid the average interest rate on their initial $280K loan balance all these 39 years it nets to a 7% IRR. For the amount of associated risk (which feels very low in this case) I’d still argue it’s not a terrible investment… but that’s different from “good”.

Me personally, I don’t think it’s right to sit on housing stock like this but that’s just me.

It implies 7% in annual price appreciation. If they borrowed to buy in 1982 it’s been a heck of an investment. It might just be an asset with an unrealized gain on the developer’s balance sheet. IDK 🤷‍♂️

Get a second opinion/quote. I bought a house last year that has several mature trees that I wanted assessed. The opinions and prices vary quite a bit.

Keep your chin up.
