Tell me about it, I am currently shopping for a house in Florida. Fortunately I will be selling my house in Nevada and it is booming more than Florida.

Zillow says that my house appreciated $50,355 in the last 30 days. The housing market is stupid.

Yes, effortless wealth is nice.

Maybe liberals making a killing in the market now should have pangs of conscience and give a good chunk of their newly coined efforless wealth to the hometess.

Its paper value
I could easily lose 5k Monday
In fact would not be surprised since at record high levels, many will probably sell taking a profit and dropping prices.

I am think I'm going to go heavy in gold. Maybe I can buy my way into ADZ's bunker with it.

You never know with gold. Just when you think the price should be going up due to the declining value of the dollar, plus increased scarcity and mining costs, it falls 10%. Central banks manipulate the price of gold.

In most cases, people are exempt from paying the capital gains tax on the sale of their primary residence. When they sell stocks, they have to pay up to 20% in capital gains. If Biden gets his way, that tax will go to 40%. Congress will eventually agree to a rate higher than 20%.

Earnings reports this week should be good for stocks.

Gold is part of my portfolio
I'll probably never sell it
Its in Chinese jewelry that is 22 to 24k pure
Chinese love that deep pure gold color
I love it also. Get comments as some recognize 24k
Love wearing my 24k gold chain with a 24k dragon pendant
Have other gold jewelry too gaudy to wear
Also have a few 1 ounce gold bullion coins
Also have a couple of 1 ounce bullion platinum coins
Inherited it all from my Mom

I really doubt I will ever spend it
Plan on handing it down to my 2 nephews

You met my sons. Do you want to adopt them?

I thought 24k was ‘too soft’ for most jewelry?

I own one gold ETF but maybe .1% of net worth.
