  1. Just for kicks, I went to look at the performance of my old firm. All their equity funds are underperforming their indices for past 3,5, and 10 years. Their income stuff are beating slightly. They don't manage not exotic stuff. The benchmarks are like S&P 500, MSCI EAFE/World... So much underperformance but yet AUM up by hundreds of billions in last couple of years. 

     

    It such a good racket... 

     

    At least my old firm only charges 40-70 bps for their funds....

    The 2020's will benefit from the baby boomers, the richest, largest generation to die thus far passing on their wealth. Myself and a half dozen close friends

    all stand to inherit 400k-2m this decade. In most cases it will be spent. In others, a greater % of it will be spent than the boomers who hold it now. This is a one time

    benefit creating a new delta for successive generations. 

     

    I'm waiting for my inheritance...  Oh wait, I still to support my parents. 🤦‍♂️

    Darn!

    My Costco Hotdog is still only a $1.50! Boom, now you can afford your 3x lumber 🤪

    Morgan operates in WV  so probably not too many Costco's nearby.  Personally I go for the chicken bake since I find it way more filling!

     Everything I buy is up at least 15-20%. Building, HVAC supplies, tools, etc are up 35-100%. As we all know lumber went up 300%, but now it’s probably only up 100%. Oh joy. 
     

     

    I know you're a pro managing 100s of units but for the benefit of others, there are some ways to reduce the cost at home improvement stores.

     

    -Buy the 10% off coupons for Home Depot and Lowe's

    -Pay with gift cards bought from grocery stores using the 6% cash back credit cards (like Blue Cash Preferred) or from Staples with the 5% cash back Chase Ink Business Cash card

    -If paying with credit card, at least pay with BofA cc with Platinum Honors for 5+% cash back for home improvement stores

    -sign up ProRewards for Home Depot (or even share 1 account to boost savings faster)

     

    I'm sure I missed some stuff but with the coupons and gift cards, etc, my margins are instantly better than the average landlord/contractor paying with regular credit card/cash.

    Even Egg McMuffins are up 35% in my area. A Subway footlong is up 60%. (Don’t judge my eating habits too much lol)

     

    This is probably not worth the squeeze but I never pay retail for fast food or chains out of principle! I collect all the flyers with coupons and leave it in my truck and/or  wait for promos on the apps.   My Subway flyer has coupon for $6 footlong. 🤣

     

    Edit: I'm in California so definitely not low cost area!

    I bought them when I thought they hosted a professional basketball team, but sold when I found out they didn't, just the Knicks.

     

    HAHAHAHHAHA  😂

     

    Knicks looked pretty decent last season but the wheels kinda came off this year again. Even as a Warriors fan, I would love to see a competitive Knicks team.

    In an alternative universe I wish there were exit interviews for people selling stock. I dont know anyone who is selling MSGE here, but if I did I'd ask which category they fall into:

     

    I sold a potential multi bagger with virtually no long term downside because:

     

    a) Im scared of covid

    b) I'm scared of a temporary ~20% paper loss 

    c) I wanted a pureplay with worse economics instead

    d) I didnt know what I was doing to begin with

     

    There's really no other category or reason for selling into the current situation. Mr Market is great though. Even in a rich market, always an opportunity somewhere. 

     

     

    Yea I don't get it. MSGE trades like a damn see-saw when the fundamentals didn't really change all that much.

     

    If this is a COVID thing, There are so many other better lockdowns v reopening plays out there than MSGE...

     

    dafuq?!?

  7. New York City rents jump 22.8% in November, as the rental market bounces back

     

    The New York City rental market is regaining strength, according to the most recent rental report from Douglas Elliman and Miller Samuel.

     

    In November, net effective median rent for Manhattan rose 16.7% compared with last year, the report found. 

     

    “We’re in many ways shocked, and we’ve been too busy to even think about it,” Douglas Elliman CEO Scott Durkin told CNBC on Thursday.
