Oh right loving nerds

10 years from now might not be long enough if there's a significant correction. 20+ years is probably pretty reliable, barring some kind of hyperinflation or other economic catastrophe.

I just knew you would buy TSE:H. They seem like a boring equity whose return you can get from index etfs.

Housing equity, it feels dirty saying this outloud as part of my retirement strategy

The last times the US had an unemployment rate below 5% were in 2008, before the housing crash, and in 2001, before the dotcom crash, and before that, in the 70s. It's at I believe 4.4% right now. It cant keep growing for too much longer. Chaos in the White House isn't helping matters, with their big promises of tax cuts and infrastructure spending seeming unlikely. It's hard to time this poo poo, but a downturn is coming, guaranteed.

The way the rate is calculated has changed over time so the numbers aren't directly comparable

He should cash out his real estate if any holdings, and rent. Also cash out of equities and go balls deep into stable investments, like Israel bonds.

Yeah that was loving dope (heh).

I left a smaller amount in as a long term (2-3) year hold just to see what ends up happening and man that bubble deflated hard. Can't complain after what I made initially though, and who knows, we might get another bubble closer to legalization time.

Stop loss like 10% or whatever amount doesn't trigger on normal volume. Someone I know, not me obviously, is bag holding after catching the knife on the downward trend. It will pay off imo over like 2 years or whatever it takes takes for the speculators to buy back into it.

No no no, leave it the gently caress alone right now. Just watch HMMJ, play with gambling money (on a couple biggest stocks, not the ETF) on a sustained uptrend later. Could still get worse in the near term.

You laugh but my brother in law was a "lego investor" and recently cashed out about $18k worth of old rare sets that he bought at release and just stored.

Whoa. Is this like fully boxed with manuals or just pieces? I have heaps of complete lego sets from when I was a kid but I doubt I have boxes and manuals for most of them. Typical kid not thinking and just threw that poo poo out.

Nerd stocks like AMD are doing great right now. Nintendo is up ~50% since the switch came out. TTWO, EA been doing great as well.

Luxury developers are offering lavish inducements to would-be buyers, from price discounts and tax incentives to gift cards, sports tickets and furniture packs. One development in north London boasts a free car for every purchaser. “Other than a ‘buy one get one free’, I’m not sure what more they can do,” says Henry Pryor, a London property buying agent.

In Nine Elms, analysts have long questioned the sheer number of planned luxury apartments. “It’s looking to be quite a major oversupply,” says Roarie Scarisbrick, agent at Property Vision. Another developer, St Modwen, wrote down the value of its land holdings in the area by 17 per cent last year. Battersea Power Station Development Corporation, which is developing the historic building itself, has applied to delay the construction of 103 affordable homes and review other affordable housing commitments. Citing rising costs and economic uncertainty, it said its expected internal rate of return had dropped to 8.2 per cent from a projected 20 per cent. It is not the only group seeking to modify its affordable housing obligations as Brexit casts a cloud over the economy.

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, chief executive of the London developer Banda Property, says: “The private sector alone cannot deal with affordable housing. This way, it only gets built if the top end of the market is working.”
