Thanks, I generally don't buy/sell like i did because of the tax hit but I really dont feel comfortable with airbnb long term but the timing with COVID made me think people will opt for home rental vs high output h/m -otels. These services really are just services, nothing proprietary. VRMO or whatever is already a significant competitor for them.
AirBnB rentals should go nuts this holiday season and I think they are here to stay and will only grow...I have been watching that stock every day since it entered...I just don't like to buy fresh ipos, shit can go nuts at first (see Twitter). Paid off for you here though.
[QUOTE=~primetime~;14205677]I'll throw out a *risky* play...Luckin Coffee
Luckin Coffee is basically the "Starbucks of China"...in March of this year they were caught lying about their finances, reporting false numbers, and their stock plummeted from $40 to $2....the market removed them altogether.
They have recently settled their lawsuits are and right back at it...shares going for $8 currently
this is definitely a risky play though...buyer beware...but could be a good for a quick $snag$...the public can forget the past pretty quickly[/QUOTE]
I'm already up 25% from just posting this this morning about 1 hour ago :D:applause:
bought in at $8 even this morning...already over $10
where will it stop today I wonder...
Wasn't Luckin Coffee a pump-and-dump scam? I would never touch it personally
Received my end of the year bonus, putting in max order for 1k into Sach which for some reason has dropped to 4.03 premarket.
Should be right around 250 shares and with current coupons (0.48/share) I should receive $10/month in dividends which reinvested means two more stocks per month & exponentially growing.
All in all I'm at 623 shares of Sach now. But I'm closely monitoring REML because I like its potential a lot more and the monthly dividend (which I'm due tomorrow).
FUBO won't stop going up in huge amounts...it's just a way to stream cable TV
I'm really not familiar with FUBO and I'm not sure what makes it so attractive, it's around $70 a month....why wouldn't we just keep our cable?
[QUOTE=bladefd;14206437]Wasn't Luckin Coffee a pump-and-dump scam? I would never touch it personally[/QUOTE]
It's still going up for me.
It was never a 'scam'...there are around 4,000 Luckin Coffee joints in China. They just lied about their financials and then were delisted. Now they have settled their lawsuits and running again.
It's a gamble with this one, and I'm gambling here...I think I'll dump if it hits around $16
I began to slowly buy arkg/arkq. I want to eventually add a couple arkf. I plan on hopefully adding more into ark over time. I don't have much money right now unfortunately to add more ark - I'm broke lol.. Down the road I guess
In the process of doing a refi on the house. Going from 3.25% to 2.75%. Was considering dropping it lower but wanted more emergency cash on hand.
Also sold remaining bitcoin+altcoints I had. I had some losses from the first runup (and then drop) and made that all up plus a little more. Is it the best move? maybe or maybe not. The way I see it, I am comfortable where I am financially and I just don’t feel like being playing that game right now. I still believe in the concept of alternative currencies but don’t feel like investing large amounts of money in it- it’s still too close to gambling.

Yeah pretty much on par with what I got with 0 closing costs. I don't know who you're going through or if you've already locked but consider at least talking to your current mortgage servicer to see if they'll match with 0 down.

You should have held Bitcoin imo. Some studies are showing that it could actually run up to 200k per bitcoin in a decade from the current 20k. We are just brushing on the outskirts of it. It's good to hold for sake of diversification, bit like holding small amounts of gold as hedging your bets against the stock market. The other altcoins I am not sold on except maybe Ethereum. I would sell everything and just hold Bitcoin, maybe a little bit in ethereum as hedge against bitcoin but probably not necessary.
0.5% I would agree is worth it to slash monthly bill a bit but depends on closing fees as rawimpact said. I still feel like these mortgage lenders make it up in some way even if closing costs are 0. Nobody does refinancing without getting something in return for profit, even if it's a tiny amount, except maybe a great credit union (but most people can't access the top credit unions). I don't believe that's the case with most lenders.

Actually crypto is one of the few things I havent discussed on ISH. There are some important points about it I think people often overlook, but it’s a subject I prefer to dissect privately rather than publicly.

Too bad there isn't a private message option (Jeff?). Then again, I'm not sure why you only want to discuss this privately and with me of all people. I'm not really a die-hard crypto person nor am I invested anymore. You probably would get more discussing details with people who are more invested or more knowledgeable.

It may be worth to diversify, but diversifying that little will likely make little difference in my long-term financial situation. I'm already locked in and I have small costs to complete it. I will need to pay a couple thousand, but I calculated and the amount saved is paid off in a year, so it's a win in my book.

Airbnb is like the wild west right now. I'm assuming cities are going to start putting heavier restriction on it because a majority of people don't want to be next door neighbor to a revolving door and some instances a party house.

I've been doing some research on business credit cards, I lose ~2.7% on merchant fees with the square and am trying to recoup atleast part of my cost of goods.
Ended up applying for Spark 2%. I end up spending roughly 30k on goods so with fees etc. I get back 500 bucks annually. I'll have to see what other expenses I can put on this card to maximize the benefit.
For personal use my wife has BoA which gets 3% on fuel and groceries which has been pretty good. Both our cars take premium so to save 10c on each gallon adds up throughout the year.

Should I cash out of crypto now?
I put a measly ~$200 into BTC/LTC/ETH a few years ago. It peaked at like $2,200 at the beginning of 2018 but I foolishly didn't sell any. Now it's back up to like $1,300. I should cash it all out and move it to stocks, right?
Although I'll have to pay capital gains tax... hmm.

It's your loss...I'm already "roaring" so can't tell me I'm off here...my dollars are still valuable
The economy is on the verge of an explosion...as covid vanishes and trillions were dumped on us, it's going to have a big effect...we are going to see some MASSIVE spending...especially in travel...and with spending comes hiring.
There will be some inflation to come sure but for those who own things (stocks, homes, any real estate, BTC, anything at all worth value) will see their wealth increase a great deal...I already have
Home owners are going to make out big...as the value of their homes increase while their mortgage payments stays the same
The wealth gap will increase (already has)...those who own nothing will be left behind....I'll give you that...and that will likely need fixing
I've seen some instances in the real estate market that remind me of 2006 and it kind of worries me. Anecdotal, but people qualifying for loans that they shouldn't be. Zero down, riddled with debt, etc.

Depends on where and what you're looking for. From the money I'll be saving refinancing I am considering looking at a few acres in West Virginia or North Western Virginia for a cabin. Low demand out there and exceptional loan rates make it a good time to buy.

The drive up in real estate in the early 2000s was due to bad government policy that encouraged banks to hand out predatory loans to ignorant and greedy consumers.
The drive up in real estate now is a result of capital desperately trying to flee to safe haven assets and a devaluation of the US dollar. You could probably couple in with that the fact that a lot of people have fled major cities this year because of COVID which drove up demand.
They are not the same situation at all.
If the price of housing in the US plummets it'll be because there are a ton of delinquent home loans that have been allowed to continue on because of government intervention prohibiting evictions as a result of COVID. In other words, when the eviction ban lifts, if a ton of people then get evicted, you could see a dip in housing cost... but it won't be anything like 2008 I don't believe. Anyone got the numbers on delinquent home loans at present?
If there isn't some insane eviction wave, housing will continue to go up and up, just like the stock market. Virtually all assets are skyrocketing because...
