Hasn't every developed country in the world been doing aggressive QE? My theory for growth is that we have a relatively higher working age population. The demographic dividend, they call it.

You could get those rifles for like $700 each. So like 2 grand for three. The reported 375 rounds of .223 ammo would be $150 or so. The truck could be leased or financed. Very possible for a diligent saver.

Ben Felix cited in a video that Berkshire's excess returns can be explained by their value tilt, and after accounting for that, this apparent excess return is statistically insignificant. http://docs.lhpedersen.com/Buff

Hasn't been a fun time for value either. Small cap value especially, which I have a heavy tilt in.

I think it's more of an American culture thing. I was living in Austria with this co-living community. The lady hosting me had 3 kids, ages 3-10. Because I grew up in the US I actively avoided interacting with them, which the host foun

So if I'm eating more and gaining lean muscle, I could still fall under the calorie-restricted category? Basically I don't enjoy being thin but I do want to live to 120. I already do calisthenics and basketball regularly, just won

He's probably comparing it to a hotel, which don't tend to have kitchens, cookware, and washing machines.

Question on caloric restriction. I have read that it is the main reason that fasting (even intermittent) works. I heard mice that ate 40% fewer calories lived way longer or something like that. I'm a thin dude (6'3" and 165lb

Do you get paid in USD/euro, and are thus shielded from currency risk? Some time ago I found that Antalya had low rents and thought it would be nice to live by the beach for cheap. But some things I heard bothered me, like smoking and

That's a pretty decent savings rate. When you say save, though, do you mean putting it in the bank or a diversified portfolio of factor tilted global index funds?

I have had many examples in my life where helping friends have made them dependent on it and later take it for granted. I didn't really set out to help them, either. Just kinda kept saying yes until they expected me to keep saying yes

In that case I see them more as travel agents for housing. More work than scalping.

Yup. What a homeowner does to maintain their home is a nontrivial amount of work and cost, so if a landlord does it they should charge a nonzero price for that service, right? Or are you saying they shouldn't be 'competing' w

At the very least, they do maintain housing. It takes constant upkeep and updating to keep a structure in decent condition. Unless they're a slum lord, which isn't the most sustainable business model. Some landlords rehab a comple
