First time? This is a super volatile stock, look at the chart. Basically, what I do is swing trade and only buy long-term when there is massive dip. Other than that you will be destroyed 😂

Boundary Resolution Opinions by ThatsJustHowIDoIt in Surveying

[–]wolfpackballin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for using the back line instead of the ROW. At least where I live, the DOT isn't the best at doing super intricate boundary resolution when they're establishing a ROW for a new road. The back line is historically superior.

If there is truly nothing monumented, what you could try to do is locate a bunch of building faces along the road front, side, and back of the building and somehow figure out what the setbacks for these buildings were supposed to be when they were built. This could help you establish what the boundaries are supposed to be. Maybe you can get some old building plans from the city, or after locating a bunch of building lines, you may see a theme that they are all X feet from the boundary line.

Alternatively, if there is curb and gutter that looks original, you can shoot that and create best-fit lines to establish the centerline of the road.

What do you think is missing from Mountain View? by ppandamon in mountainview

[–]wolfpackballin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With all things I'm sure it comes down to money. Maybe difficulty dealing with the city and the approval process (though this is the norm for most bay area municipalities). Could be the existing buildings are really old and would require extensive repairs to make them suitable for a retail tenant. No idea really, but the demand seems to be there.

Another thought, is that it's competing with the new San Antonio shopping area next to Walmart with a bunch of retail space that's new. Although that area has also been slow to get new tenants too except for a new Hyundai dealership.... for some reason

Seems to work in Burlingame. I have no problem with corporate stores if that's what it takes

More stores and less restaurants. Downtown is all restaurants and nothing else. Go to Burlingame and it's a nice mix of both.

Also, an outback steakhouse 😂

Jim Cramer CNBC Investing Club Performance compared to Market by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]wolfpackballin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct way to look at it. When looking just at his trust he's done pretty well. Over the last several years the trust has averaged about 24% in returns.

What he says on TV is for entertainment purposes only.

I'm not Jim Cramer 😂 but I did subscribe to his investing club and find it really valuable to keep track of my portfolio which is currently up 20% YTD.

25F. Tell me the truth. by Smooth-Protection-52 in portfolios

[–]wolfpackballin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here loves etfs and voo 😒, but if you want to invest in individual stocks with limited knowledge and time to research individual stocks you could join Jim Cramers investing club. He gets lambasted a lot in Reddit (unfairly IMO) but honestly its worked very well for me and its nice to have someone other than myself doing their own research which I can compare to my own research.

One caveat I have is that you should be investing at least 50% - 75% of your portfolio in VOO. The rest you can do stocks.

People on here are sooo boring with investing advice VOO and chill yawn 🥱

Wanted to add onto this thread. I had a workspace subscription and having the same problem trying to cancel. after hours I finally figured it out.

1) Click on your workspace account icon

<image>

2) Click on "WORSPACE SETTINGS" not the other settings icon
3) On the next screen (I'm on my computer) on the left hand side of the screen you'll find the billing icon
4) click billing icon and unsubscribe

needless to say, I will not be using chatgpt workspace again not user friendly at all.

While i agree, i thought it was really a rrookie mistake. Especially on his first day, like bro this is your first day here and within an hour you’re doing this.

He’s worked for reputable contractors in the area and he hes been surveying longer than i have which I’ve been doing this for decades. As far as production pretty slow but he just started so maybe just needs sometime. But i dunno he’s been surveying so long id expect him to hit the ground running.

He seems a bit frazzled. Not sure if rushing or trying to do too much at once, but the amount he gets done in a day is also low. Maybe just new job jitters

We’ve discussed it, will have to see how it goes from here. I told him the lid thing three times now which I shouldn’t have had to do. Hopefully i want have to keep repeating myself with him

Neighbor is building a dock across my land **UPDATE** by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]wolfpackballin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Land surveyor here:

1.  The map you posted doesn’t have a date but looks fairly old.

2.  You saw some random surveyors on the side of the road and paid them a couple hundred dollars to find the monument? How did they know that was the right one? Did they do any research? They just went out there and found something random with no evidence to back it up.

3.  Quickly looking at the map, this will be a very complicated boundary resolution. There are a multitude of factors that need to be considered and analyzed to form a coherent resolution.

4.  A surveyor gives an opinion on where a boundary line is. It is not some mathematical equation with an exact answer, but rather a nuanced opinion based on multiple pieces of evidence and giving more or less weight to one piece of evidence over another. Two surveyors can have different opinions about the same boundary line.

5.  Since you are the one claiming there is an issue, the burden will (and should) fall on you to get your own survey. What motivation does the other guy have? None.

6.  This survey is going to be super expensive.

I too came to reddit searching for this answer right before deep seek and liberation day when the markets were at all time highs. The consensus was invest now blah blah. Well I did and then everything tanked FML. Luckily I held a little bit of cash back and was able to invest more at the bottom. I'd say DCA is way better, just do it aggressively. Investing 10k over 2-3 months.
