The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

What are some nuclear power plays that people like? Seems like a logical argument for that to increase in value over time from what I am reading. "OKLO" is one I have been reading up on, and it recently had a pretty big correction. It's a play on SMRs if I am reading correctly.

Yeah no bueno… who knows what’s gonna happen next year when we get a new Fed chair who has stated he wants to drop interest rates by 2%…. Inflation is gonna rip and it’s gotta go somewhere likely into stock market and the housing market

^^^ That certainly will be one to watch. Do we have a bubble yet???

This is what I think could happen with housing. Prices will inflate as rates go down and QE continues. I believe this is by design to help push through a 50 year loan. Having a longer loan term will free up more liquidity which can then be moved into markets and the economy. It will ultimately crush future generations. If I was looking to buy a house I wouldn’t wait until the new fed comes in. Right now is the buyers market, especially if you have cash. If I needed a loan I suck it up for 12 months and then refi. The new fed isn’t coming in until May, so those new rates wouldn’t be trickling in for a month or two. By the time a year comes around, rates will be lower and you don’t have to do bidding wars for homes. This is not financial advice, there are risks, like what if they don’t cut rates, what if they don’t continue QE. There is always a chance the entire economy collapses and home prices tank.

Just the way I see it playing out, we have about 5 months to watch and see.

The analysis on 50 year mortgages is insane. Your total savings on your monthly mortgage payment is 16%. I don't know if Dave Ramsey's rant on this has gone viral yet or not, but you'll likley start seeing viral shorts from it later this week.

Of course, we can also consider the GDP data that we apparently are not going to get and may not see again until 2028. Lack of GDP data could really work over the retail investor.

Seems like a huge bubble… that the government will not allow to pop…

Makes sense to me, I agree with that assessment

Yeah, I can see @MountainTracker's scenario or something close happening. I do think some areas will be negatively affected due to the trend of less remote work and more going back to the office even if only a couple days a week. It's hard to live in a resort town....and go to the office. San Francisco is seeing a huge influx right now with large rental increases probably due to folks having to go in to the office. (part of that is they got rid of the liberal mayor and they are cracking down on crime and cleaning that city up)
I think there will be an exodus from some of those Resort areas- like the ski towns in the Western mountain areas that saw a big influx in the Covid years driving up prices to ridiculous levels. Some of those areas will probably get a rude awakening.
I think areas like Greater Boise will dodge that dip and continue to climb due to the retiree's.

I'm currently increasing my exposure to the markets going from about 60% to 80% or more.

When has the government ever been successful in stopping a bubble from popping? It’s usually too little too late and we all end up paying for it.

If people have been or continue to buy grossly inflated housing with cash is the government going to bail you out of it crashes? No, you are not a “too big to fail corp” so tough luck.
