The drop in 3Q GDP estimates between the end of July and mid October was unfortunately steady and persistent (table via Bill McBride calculatedriskblog.com/2021/10/q3-gdp…)

Given some of the things going on right now this is really timely and interesting commentary Abraham Thomas pivotal.substack.com/p/minsky-momen… "...while the music plays, it’s best to keep dancing; when the music stops, it’s best to stop. The secret is knowing when the music will stop..."

Public service announcement that I have no involvement with these suspicious websites, one of which has blatantly copied my bio (including the copyright at the bottom) onto their website. investorhome.com/crypto-scams.h…

The 7-day average of global COVID deaths just dropped below 4,000 for the first time in almost exactly two years (during the first wave).

Today is the final day for bidding for senderoscanyon.com - an auction scheduled to try to close before the implementation of Measure ULA (a new tax on high-end real estate sales in Los Angeles). Links, comps & my long shot guesses who might buy it at investorhome.com/Senderos.htm

Pleased to finally launch a new real estate website that I've been working on for over a year where I index and compare the highest priced and most valuable homes in the world. Check out NineFigureProperties.com

What is the most valuable home in the world? It depends partially on what you include (government associated, ranches, islands?) and how you determine the value (aside from actual sales). See investorhome.com/nfp/most-valua…

If you were a billionaire and could buy/build a home anywhere in the world, where would you choose? NY, FL, France, maybe London? Actually, Los Angeles County (with Malibu & Beverly Hills) has the most and highest priced recent nine figure $ sales investorhome.com/nfp/global-tro…

Extremely thankful this Independence Day. In the "Land of Opportunity" virtually anyone willing to work hard can become successful. Here in Los Angeles many of the most valuable homes are owned by entrepreneurs some of which started with virtually nothing investorhome.com/nfp/land-of-op…

Future parents please watch Meb Faber and Brad Gerstner (Brad Gerstner) youtube.com/watch?v=xLIFDN… discuss investamerica.org. We opened UTMA accounts for our kids & invested gift money in VTSAX. Decades in, they continue to invest & the accounts have multiplied in value many times.

Very sad to hear of the passing of USC Football ✌️ USC Trojans Football coach John Robinson So many wonderful memories of the legend. RIP Coach! usctrojans.com/news/2024/11/1… latimes.com/sports/usc/sto…

Interesting BNY observation comparing 10-year assumptions from 2015 to actual returns. They overestimated bonds, but underestimated US Large Caps. Estimate for "balanced portfolio" was virtually spot on at 5.7% (current 10-year assumption ~6.3%). bny.com/wealth/global/…
