@awealthofcs agree. by 2022 monthly payments had doubled while rates were still at 3.45% bc home prices were up 60%. then the rate shock. by Oct '23 payments were 3x the '16 level. buyers either need prices to fall, rates to drop significantly, or income to catch up. any of this likely? nope

What's a sports moment that brings tears to your eyes?

@jposhaughnessy @nope_its_lily Chicago the same way. Extended wait times, multiple driver changes, etc. to the point where it’s almost necessary to plan ahead and schedule rides if you want to make sure you’re on time.

I know this GameStop stuff is funny, but you have to remember this is hurting real people who own multiple boats

A Wall Street professional with a top 10 MBA, 22 years of experience and access to the best research is up 3% this year.

An amateur trader with an associates degree, 2 months of experience and access to social media is up 3,000% this year.

What a world.

I think it’s going to be very obvious looking back in a number of years that the advent of social networks increased the number of micro bubbles in the markets

Even if it dies down for a while this stuff is not going away

Faster markets are here to stay

@DaveNadig Great article. It’s easy to lump time periods together but you hit on a lot of points that resonate with me why this time it’s different. Keep these coming!
