%% A house boat does much better taking advantage of Volatility + fun \ but loses capital much more than a home or townhome/condo. I'm still looking for RE to buy. But i like my salmon, fresh out of a can, less volatility. I almost ignored an old REALTOR;s advice a few years ago' he said dont buy in my neighborhood with that inland lake house . Its been moved \ too hard to sell. Main reason i finally decided not to buy , he was real good with resales. WORKED out well\ a small flood broke the dam + messed up resales for several years. But the empty lake grew excellent tomatoes
Vancouver is like parallel universe. Saw a house boat here for 1.2mil few days ago, 1h away from downtown, in a hardly desirable area on a river, with a tiny piece of land though. Probably 800k in a good location for a tiny boat house with 2k/month moorage fee. BC is kinda all like that. We pay 500k for a cheapest house in the middle of nowhere close to US border, and salivate over the ones on the over side for 50k with a decent chunk of land. Is floating house really that much fun to live in btw?
%% Floating house to live in ?? NOt for me;\/ or ''wave'' patterns dont sound like to much fun to live in. I'm reading a good real estate textbook this week. For US, 1929, all real estate+ home sales = $29 billion; For US,1933, all real estate + home sales =$ 3 billion. wow, no wonder prices are so HI, now also.

Hi Beginner66, I do not have a degree, I wrote my first program when I was like 7years old or so, I was given some pre-IPO shares for volunteer work I did when I was 18 and it set the record for the biggest IPO in history , i bought in with $2000 and sold at $36,000 the day it first traded.. then I tried day-trading that and got my ass beat and then went on a quest to self-study math.. I'd have calculus books stacked up with me at my day job programming . I am doing pretty good, 100% win rate since starting to trade options 2 years ago, 50% return in 2021. I am disappointed I dont already have my jointly calibrating rough volatility model done because if I did I could get that up to 100% a year at least
Very impressive stochastix ive met many without a degree who way smarter than me..you sound like one of them. a great return...love it... you will get where you want to go i can tell. thanks again stochastix best John

Can you tell some more about it? How is this helpful with stock trading? Or is it for options? Btw, just for fun, below I attempted to calc your annual and total PL% (the last one) from your recent table of your monthly PLpct's. Does it match with your results? y=2020: v.sz=12 PLpct=89.12 y=2021: v.sz=12 PLpct=62.63 y=2022: v.sz=7 PLpct=2.80 y=0: v.sz=3 PLpct=216.18
We are two different people. @stochastix does options I believe. Yes, PL seems about right. I actually never look at it this way, just monthly in % and then in $ at the end of accounting period for taxes.
