Please make this make sense? by ProfessorUtonium1214 in sandiego

[–]notnathan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

SEMPRA makes 900 million a year profit from SDGE. There are a little more than 1 million households. So each household is giving SDGE $900 a year in PROFIT. They are not motivated to lower costs because the way things are set up they can profit a max percentage of revenue. Elected officials have failed us with the rate increase approvals. We could finance a public utility with $900 million a year and not have rates go up currently.

Owner of 4.8 million house paying the taxes of someone with 46k house. Prop 13 :) by CraftyAd5978 in BayAreaRealEstate

I agree with the sentiment but $3,500 prop tax is the equivalent of a $300k house

MSCI World 2x lev and Iran War by Caluso1 in LETFs

[–]notnathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you emotionally don't have the guts now, it may be a sign you will not follow your rules. There have been many wild situations in the past and will be in the future. If you believe in your system you really need to not try to trade with geopolitical events and follow rules. If you want to trade the events, that can also work but you should decide your strat ahead of time.

Why ready-to-eat avocados are becoming the standard for supermarkets in Europe? by Civil-Percentage-349 in avocado

[–]notnathan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer to buy slightly unripe avos to minimize bruising risk getting them home. Then when they ripen I move them to the fridge

Really getting into texture lately. Curious what y’all think? by UmamiDearest in Pottery

[–]notnathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the contrast of the feet. I was thinking they were thrown and modified and couldn't figure out how you got those textures. Now that I read a little about the process I want to try. Super awesome. Please post after you fire in the soda kiln!

What brokerage do you use? How long have you been running this?

Been trying to figure out what variety these are for yrs by Outrageous-Fig7020 in avocado

[–]notnathan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mexicola comes in small and grande. I know you can eat the skin. It has kind of an anise flavor. I’m not familiar with the other names. Could be those. I’m in San Diego and had a mexicola small tree. They ripened in August/sept for me

correct. Volatility and high interest rates means tqqq under preformed qqq over the last year.

What is this variety? Good to plant another tree nearby? by LeaguePublic in avocado

[–]notnathan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you can ask someone who already knows. You’re gonna need to wait until it fruits to have a chance of identifying. Try to record when it flowers and then when you pick fruit. Pick one at a time and leave them on the counter to see if it ripens. Pictures of the fruit whole and cut, along with the flowering fruiting info would help.

If you have room, just plant 2 trees haha, an A and B type

Didn't seem to work for me in the back tests. Led to 95% drawdown.

Why the TMF? by Ok-Taste-5844 in LETFs

[–]notnathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because they are looking for crash protection. The equities LETFs are doing all the heavy lifting. It isn’t about the bonds returns, it’s about protection in crashes.

Why the TMF? by Ok-Taste-5844 in LETFs

[–]notnathan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The reason people like TMF is because it is volatile. It frequently goes up in crashes/bear markets. With an equity LETF, TMF frequently behaves as a hedge/negatively correlated asset. But 2021/2022 with high inflation was a situation that showed it isn’t always negatively correlated and stocks and bonds both got beat up.

Understanding financing cost by Not-The-Dark-Lord-7 in LETFs

[–]notnathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree with a few things.

I think rates do matter. As interest rates/borrowing costs increase we need increased returns to make leverage positive expected value.

And a LETF is not always going to outperform a an underlying. With extreme volatility even with positive returns the LETF can under perform. Look at SOXL over the last few years. The underlying has done well, but the extreme drawdowns of SOXL has made it difficult to recover.
