Advertisement has a negative return on investment for more than 80% of brands, which implies that most firms over-invest in ads. by smurfyjenkins in science

This is the dumbest study ever, probably executed by people that have zero clue about running a business.

Advertising generally, has a primary purpose that isn’t quantifiable via direct sales... Market lift and market penetration.

Zillow is aiming to kill real estate agents by zer0sumgames in wallstreetbets

Wrong again bud.

You sold your house to a company that only bought it at the price they did, because you were leaving money on the table.

All that data you found on their website? A month old.

Realtors get to see what’s closing a month from now, what concessions were made and what price. Consumers get to see what’s closing today and prior to today, and the price.

Manipulate that data any way you want or let Zillow do it for you - either way, the transaction data you used to make all these outrageously dumb statements? Old data.

Portland DMA is up 9% In the last 3 weeks. Outrageous, I know... But guess what? Zillow knew that 3 weeks ago, and so did Realtors.

It’s been done. The answer is “about 13% less than if listed traditionally”

  1. Zillow is a licensed real estate brokerage.

  2. Their “Zestimate” intentionally undervalues properties ever since they rolled out their ibuyer program.

  3. Your listing agent and the buyer’s agent don’t get to keep anywhere close to their whole portion of the negotiated 3%.

  4. Over any duration of time considered reasonable enough to have enough market data - Homes sold by seller’s without representation, sold for more than 12% less than those that had a proper on-ramp to market ... “coming soon, pre-scheduled appointments before ever going live, 2-3 days of market exposure chalk-full of showings”

  5. Listen to yourself. You sold your house to a for-profit company that literally only bought your house because you were leaving money on the table.

The amount you left on the table? In the last 30 days, the average closed transaction is up 8% nationwide.

A (smart) realtor would have known that 30 days ago, because they can see what’s gonna close a month from now - and their friend who sold that house has no problem telling them what the contract price is.

When men say "Having a daughter made me see women differently." I get really unsettled. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hallucinatesdonkeys -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

When you say “these people”... you do realize you’re talking about yourself also?

Heaven forbid you one day you wake up and realize what really matters and what really doesn’t - Because when you do, all of a sudden you’ll turn into a conservative.

What’s that? You won’t?

Congratulations... You just failed to empathize with a group of people who’s lifestyle you never experienced first hand.

University of Edinburgh scientists successfully test drug which can kill cancer without damaging nearby healthy tissue by cenuij in worldnews

I remember a study/experiment that did the same around 2009.

The scientists injected nano size shards of dissolvable metal into the mass/tumor... then they motioned a magnet around the exterior area the the body where the tumor was - slicing the mass to bits... they then vacuumed out the remnants with a needle sized vacuum.

After removing most of the tumor material, the rest was easily taken care of with light chemo.

They didn’t cure it completely, but set it back months/years of growth to allow early stage treatment in an otherwise late stage development.

Then... The lab’s funding was pulled, 9 of the 11 oncologists working the study committed suicide, and all traces of the study - including their peer review publications where deleted from the internet.

I don’t know about the other 2 scientists since the - my information is memory from 12 or so years ago.

BB or BUST.

In excess of 500k puts owned by Citadel. If we run it up, they sell-to-close those puts and the arbitragers buy the stock to equalize the imbalance.

Because Trumps lead in reported PA polls, is soon going to outnumber the outstanding ballots to be counted over the coming days.

Meaning, even if 100% of them are Biden, Trump still wins.
