- vineyardmike 2y agoI happened to buy a blackberry instead of the original iPhone. I can confirm that this is cherry picking. My 2007 GE kitchen appliances for my new home funded with a WaMu mortgage may are similarly unimpressive as investments in 2024. (And cherrypicking history is easy!)

And your mortgage probably makes you wildly over/under (but not correct) weight on residential real estate according to whether you consider it a payment you need to reflect in your portfolio or a part of your portfolio and therefore it's mising a justifying expenditure. And you'd presumably have no exposure to industrial real estate, defense, anything b2b, ... But it's a fun idea and I'll admit to similar irrational thinking when I was annoyed by Amex charging (and refusing to refund) me and my wife separately while I was in the middle of trying to talk to them about merging them/closing one.
