That would only work if you'd expect these events to be frequent enough that you wouldn't have to short for very long or else the costs of your short would outpace any possible profit very quickly.

The billionaires increase the housing supply(see Cityplace) or are buying such high end properties that the worst they do is make life a bit more expensive in the Bridle Path.

I use to work in search advertising and we've had people do this to our sites too. The malware doesn't just change the default search it also replaces the ads on our pages in your browser with their own ones. So they get the mon

I can still type just as fast as I could before I switched on qwerty keyboards. I left my laptop keyboard qwerty and just switched my external keyboard to Colemak so I swap somewhat frequently depending on if I'm at my desk or on the

I switched to a variation on Colemak because I had used qwerty so long touch typing with left hand and pointer/ring only on the right that it was uncomfortable trying to learn to touch type from the home row.

That sounds like a great idea at first but if you think about it for a bit you realise it would just increase the digital divide dramatically.

Pricing depends not just on price paid but on the quality of your content(as Google sees it) so it is definitely possible that there are people using that keyword and getting 400 clicks a day at $0.50/click.

I grew up in Toronto but I was always much colder in winter when living in Sydney. No insulation, plus vents in the walls and single pane windows mean it's warmer outside but much colder in.

I'm not trolling I just don't agree that any of those things indicate success only that some people hope it will be successful(and are betting on it) which is the same as the price to me. I do agree that we shouldn't interact

We're talking about 200,000 transactions per day. If the estimates of a userbase of 1 million 3 years ago were correct then it only takes one transaction every 5 days per user for their to be no need for new users. I don't mean t

Yeah probably, I've not gone to the area in a long time to be honest so I could be all wrong. It is, it was a toss up between this place and one over by Coles which was far from the beaches but had a private dock and a pool. There was

Glebe is the more upmarket of the two. Ultimo always seems to be overlooked though. Must just be drown out by Pyrmont/Glebe. I pay $550/week for a 4 bedroom house with a separate full apartment(bed/living room/kitchen&

10 years ago things were very much not normal in housing prices and 8 years ago a lot of people lost everything because they counted on prices increasing at way above historic norms. Much like you're doing here.

I was paying ~$100/week for a 3 share in something called Dalgety Square in Ultimo which was a really nice building. That was close to a decade ago now though but I'd be surprised if it had more than doubled but even if it had it

What about somewhere like Ultimo/Glebe surely they would have housing >$30/week cheaper than your area? And be ~20 minutes commute time. When I lived in Ultimo my rent at both places was less than half what it was for my place

It isn't that rare actually in major western cities. So you are betting on large increases in property value to offset the loss from front loaded interest payments to make your investment better? That's a gamble.

You seem to think that 90c is going straight to equity when for many years it will be going straight to interest payments. So for the first 5-10 years your $1 is going down the drain vs the renters 10c going into investments.

I didn't say it was uncommon I said it was too much. I would think the feeling that you're never getting ahead will have a more negative mental health cost than a housemate ever will.

I've not said it is morally wrong. Though I think it is wrong to complain about the costs of high demand areas if you're not willing to take actions to decrease those costs.

I don't consider high demand locations having high cost a problem personally. But if you want to live in a high demand area and you don't make enough money there are ways to do it without spending excessively on rent.
