If housing gets cheaper, will the sushi also?

If sushi gets cheaper will Peter P buy me some?

The perfect sushi order:

2 orders $anta Barbara Uni
1 order ama-ebi
2 orders kampachi
1 order hotate
1 order teka maki
1 large Asahi.
and if Peter P. is buying
1 order tobiko w/quail egg and
1 more order Uni.

Trolls need not bother.

You see little Ha Ha had to grow up, along with his sister Giggles and brother Chuckles, as latchkey kids. Me and Pa Ha had to both work, barely bringing in a quarter HaHa's between us. I know my son only ever wanted to own a home of his own someday in the Bay Area, meet a Mrs. Ha, and live happily ever after. The real estate thing you've all got happening over there has really hit li'l Ha Ha hard, and I'm afraid he sometimes loses his cool. Really, please don't judge him for being a Troll. He really has a kind, and sometimes humorous heart. Yours truly, Ma Ha

I had whale raw. It looked very interesting. But I could not even think about having a second piece. Some seafood annot be undercooked either. Raw lobster tastes great but half-cooked lobster is horrible. We should be thankful that California has truly great squid aka calamari.

The differential to overcome the opportunity cost of the PITI-to-Rent ratio is much higher than 6%. If you don't believe me, I have proven it quantitatively.

It is optimized for risk-reward (risk = standard deviation, reward = expected return) for a portfolio of 2 or more assets, plotted along an efficient frontier (each mix of assets is optimized for best return, but with different risks).

The guy is so "tongue in cheek" it's hysterical, not to plug but it's become one of the few bright spots in my day (in Oregon you take what bright spots you can find) In the P.I Spam sandwiches are right up there with winning a fishing trip from the VFW!

    16   9:35am Sat 15 Apr 2006   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like (1)   Dislike   Protected   astrid, Just my opinion on (a), how do you get today's rates tomorrow: you can't. You could theoretically create an alternative investment with things like interest-rate forwards. But the transaction costs to you as a non-institutional individual will be higher than the value, and carry more risk. The real answer is you could invest in one of the couple of *depressed* RE markets with fixed rates. This is risky unless you really know the local market there. According to HSBC, Indiana is way undervalued by historical trends and technicals. The rent yields there are massive, PITI-to-Rent is well below 1.0 in many cities, etc. So, you could move to Indiana (not Northwest, IN), and learn the market, then use today's rates to buy real assets there. **not recommended advice. I prefer allowing mortgage rates to rise a bit, or even quite a bit, because this cost is much less than the other risks for a buyer today.

After I deployed my stealth negotiating skills I finally had to abandon the tactic as whole and broke down and just flat out asked the gal "where do you find these people?" The lengths that people will go to to stay out of the stock market are simply mind boggling!
