  • Housing prices are based on comparable homes sold in the area, so what are you guys talking about?

    we are talking about the fact that if you have trouble selling the house, then it is literally the market, who told you that your “market” valuation is clearly wrong.

    You’re implying that any home on the market is priced too high simply because it’s on the market.

    of course i am not. you should have learned what hyperbole is sometime in elementary school.

    the statement is not valid for every house that is on the market for 5 minutes. it is however perfectly valid for most of what is on the market longer than w/e is the average for that market. maybe you have something truly unique and you have to wait for your customer, or maybe you have inflated sense of the value of the object you are trying to sell, be it a house or used car.


















  • ok, so that described strategy sounds almost like something that should be illegal. in fact it sounds very similarly to lot of stories that were happening here in central europe after fall of communism, when the state-owned companies were changing ownership and ending up in personal hands. lot of these stories did not end up well.

    but no matter what, that strategy only covered part of the acquisition price, even according to these articles, so that is still not a reason for musk to intentionally drive the company into the ground.
