This guy knows real estate. It isn't an efficient market. Efficient markets have very little to no alpha. Real estate has been my best side job ever. Currently looking at a 40% annualized returns since 2015. All thanks to the same prin

Currently working in asset management and the trading rules are a killer. I used to trade options on equity indexes and commodities. These were the only derivative products I could trade short term (less than 30 days w/ profit). It wou

As someone who lives in Massachusetts, I can wholeheartedly agree. The MA governor just banned vapes for 6 weeks or so then the legislature created some new laws and a hefty 75% tax. They banned menthol cigarettes and flavored vape juice. W

My original post agreed with the Pew data. Most people would most likely be happy having children. I am aware of this bias. My Grandmother in law is blunt about never having wanted children where as lots of people are just complaining due t

Plenty, my wife is a nurse and plenty of the women explain how they had one and then just never wanted another one after because of regret. The nurse closer to her age straight up says it. I got plenty of warnings from coworkers about havin

I feel as though having children will make a lot of people very happy. But there is also a significant part(>1%) of the population that would be miserable. I believe a lot of the unhappiness is often from someone who was pressured into a

I didn't downvote. I am genuinely curious as it is one of the places I am considering moving and I know I don't know anywhere close to as much as I do about Boston. I think everything is relative. If you compare housing in Boston

Seattle homes looks brand new compared to New England, and our taxes(MA) appear to be higher and our weather you could say is similarly bad but different if not worse. We also have a lot of jobs which pretty much drive everything. I am curi
