Like shit. 15 days to fill the gap.
What you're looking at there is the median sales price, thats like looking at VTI and going "how do you make money at this, it just goes up" ... I mean yes it does, but there are individual housing markets that have gone up or down much faster than the rest of the market. Buying in a super-desirable market and holding/living in it for a time and then selling, taking your profit and downsizing to a less desirable market (say you don't need premium schools anymore or you want to move to the country or whatever) then you take a bunch of profit from your house and can invest it or use it to buy your next house.but how do you do well with your primary residence? Aren't you just selling a top and buying a top? They switch to renting? And what ups and downs are we talking about, the housing market has never really gone down accept in certain markets. Calculate the cost of selling taxes and upkeep how do you make money when the best decline ever assuming perfectly timed was only 20%
Doing well in housing just seems a round about way of saying "my currency lost value"

I think a valid question is, if you had just invested all that money in the first place and never bought the house, would you have done better? And that is really a valid question, but you have to live somewhere.
Yea, that GOVX was a massive jump from penny stock status. Risky move, but I guess you knew that. I would cut the losses on that one.
I took 2 new positions, one "low" risk spread on PDD, goal is for it to stay below 160. While it does have some upward momentum, it is approaching overbought and outside top BB. It would need a full 2.3 ATR move upward to start causing a loss
It's a 25k bet for potential 6-7k return.

The other more "high" risk PUT on RSP(technically a spread but that is just to reduce cost/manage the trade). The bet is this bounces off resistance(same as SPY). Depending on the bounce huge potential gains, but I would probably exit sooner rather than later on this one, anything above 25% gains unless it is showing strong legs downward
