MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 10:34 AM ET
NVDA will always be my "white whale" that got away.

HokieAl • 03/11/24 04:45 PM ET

MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 05:13 PM ET
It has definitely been crazy, doubling in the past 2 months
HokieAl • 03/11/24 06:01 PM ET

Here's my take on this
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 11:18 AM ET
I've always stayed fully invested (early 60s) but just recently I'm selling

I'm investing heavily in the precious metals of brass and lead.**

Hyperinflation is 3.5% - 5%? Expected to drop to 2.4% in 2024. Nope...**

He strikes me as the Donald Trump of the multi-family real estate world
Hokebury • 03/11/24 12:30 PM ET
doesn't change the fact the inflation numbers by the gov't aren't accurate
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 02:04 PM ET
My coffee went up 182% per oz..... it isn't the only item.**

Everyone's definition of what is middle class has changed dramatically over
Hokebury • 03/11/24 03:47 PM ET
And you sound like you're trying to convince the rest of us...

Good for you if you're breezing through life right now...
MP4VT2004 • 03/11/24 09:56 PM ET
This is a dire statistic.**
mancunian • 03/12/24 12:38 PM ET
I don’t think that’s especially new. Many Americans live paycheck to
AbsolutVT03 • 03/13/24 12:15 AM ET
I was laying in bed last night thinking about how frustrating it is that...

3 years ago air fare to take the kids to grandma was $2400 for 4 people.
Naelbis • 03/11/24 07:22 PM ET

MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 10:50 AM ET
I think that is in Florida, not that I was looking into it...**
HortHokie • 03/11/24 02:06 PM ET
My bad...maybe there are two of them
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 04:28 PM ET
Yes, The Villages. Just outside of Orlando.**
HokieByWater • 03/11/24 03:07 PM ET
You're old enough to remember the Nixon/Ford/Carter hyper inflation years
Hokebury • 03/11/24 11:59 AM ET
Mortgage loans got up to 18% at one point. Delayed buying a house until 86.
TomTurkey • 03/11/24 03:56 PM ET
I had a 13% mortgage during that time (also a 18% 20 year IRA CD)**
UTPr0sim • 03/11/24 04:56 PM ET
i remember when seller financing was not an uncommon thing
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 04:26 PM ET
I remember writing a Fortran program to calculate a mortgage payment...
EDGEMAN • 03/11/24 12:08 PM ET
i missed the punchcard era
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/11/24 04:27 PM ET
That's why I will probably never move, at this point.
