We sold a condo in Watercolor (south side) just as prices started up in late 2002 for $875M that had been listed for 6 months, saw that condo get listed for as much as $1.4MM in 2004, and did we feel dumb for having sold. The one next door just got listed for $850M. Not only are we back where we started but in some ways below where we started.
I do not know what that tells us.

No flames here. The Dick is a result of my "fatass" fingers that D is close to the R. You have a typo or two in your post as well. You have me as eDgordoboy the D is clear across the keyboard from the L. I can't help it that my typos make better sense than the real thing. If you weren't laid back and lived at the beach you'd be a doozy. Secret Society of Sowal meeting next Thursday guys - don't tell toofargone.
Nice excuse. Try to put the blame on me. Make excuses. you called him a dick. you know it.

you made your dick "typo" this afternoon and have posted three more times on this thread but have not edited it???
You are full of it. If it was a typo you would have corrected after little fish tried to politely make sense to you.
Alas, I forget you don't give a sh-it, it was a typo, who cares??
Piss off fatass eLgordoboy.

There you guy, still calling him a dick. Kurt should ban you. You are making a personal attack on Buckhead Rick. Yes, you are making excuses. You act like a child.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but you folks get corrected on something and get offended? After you had all the ****z and giggles about his supposed typo? All your off-handed comments, calling him a dick, take the tie off, yada yada, etc are just trying to make yourselves feel good for making fun of someone.
Yes, I am laid back and live at the beach also, but at least I my parents brought me up properly.
The moderator of this forum should ban edgordoboy fatass for his personal attack. Seagrove girl you note buckhead ricks "pompous attitude" but overlook your "locals" insults, just making the situation fit your needs. You folks should be ashamed. Sorrry Buckhead rick doesn't belong to your little club.
Flame away.
If you stray from the party line on this forum, you generally get thrashed even if you are dead on correct. Take the so called "doom and gloom" real estate prognosticators that got thrashed even though they called the declining market spot on when the general consensus was the market was perpetually headed up.

Have to totally agree with you on this one, fisher. Kind of frustrating isn't it?
Regardless, I am glad Buckhead Rick pointed out the mistake that most people outside the financial realm make by using a "K" - I do it all the time! Had no idea it wasn't correct. Thanks for correcting us all!

I think one is thrashed when going against the party line when the line is confronted in a snooty manner. Addressing everyone as 'children' smacks of a certain air of arrogance that not surprisingly rubs some folks the wrong way.

Puhleeze!
Stating opinions that are contrary to the majority party line is what ticks people off. People don't like to hear potentially bad news unless you happen to be very, very humorous like Shelly. It gets even more difficult for folks to swallow when your opinions end up being right and the party line was wrong. Then you get accused of being arrogant?

I'm getting tired of the implication that everyone on this board has the same opinion. And if you don't agree than you are "ganged up on". I enjoy this board because of the varying opinions. While it might be true that the opinions of the high # posters (of which I am NOT one) are heard more frequently. . . . it's simply because they post more. Instead of complaining about it. Speak up. Get to posting.

OK, here is the post that turned this thread into a squabble: Sorry children, but in the financial markets (where I've made my living for 33 years) m = thousands, I have seen K used but mostly in the popular press and the comic strips ,not the financial press.
Obliously you all read read more of the latter than the former.
Fisher, if addressing people on here as 'children' is not a touch arrogant, please, let us all know what you feel to be a more appropriate adjective. That is all I am saying. Elgordo didn't even point out that BuckheadRick's post made no sense as his use of 'former' and 'latter' implies that those he was lecturing spend more time reading the 'financial press' than the 'popular press and comics';that would have been over the top.
I go contrary to 'the party line' on a regular basis but have yet to be banned, attacked, punished by ostracism or whatever it is that happens to folks who don't follow 'the party line'.
Perhaps it might be a public service to start a 'party line' thread and let us know what the board's consensus is on all manner of topic, issue by issue, so as to codify the official opinions. Good luck

Yes, yes, the whining is becoming so tiresome. :roll:
I love the "party line" bit- and that people are assigning importance to it by complaining about it.:roll::roll:

For what it is worth, k = thousands is the standard in the scientific community and m = millions (not commonly used).
I use k for thousands and have no intention to change.

Interesting development to such an initial simple question.
There?s such a double standard here. In many other threads people get lambasted for "stealing threads" or even roasted at times for the posting of unpopular opinions.
Who cares about K's or M's as it relates to the initial question posed under this thread? Both are used in today's real estate and finance communities. Last I checked, this is the Real Estate & Development section of the board. If you guys want to argue this and reduce yourselves to name calling, take it elsewhere.

No wonder I was putting off reading this thread. What a trainwreck. Someone says that they were taught better, yet they do not as they were taught.
As I understand the m vs k issue, M is the Roman numeral for 1,000. M is also French for mil, which translates to 1,000. K represents kilobyte, or 1024 bytes, which loosely translates to 1,000 for many non-computer geeks. Computer geeks would never use K to represent anything other than 1024 x y (y=the variable number in front of the k). The problem in communicating k and m is that if you put an m behind a number for most people, they think you mean million. Why? Because in our world of technology, M represents a MegaByte, or 1,024,000 bytes, often thought of as 1,000,000 by us non-tech geeks, and the metric peeps. That is why it is important to clarify language sometimes, no different than setting appointments for meetings with people coming from a different time zone. Communication is important to us all. Using an m vs a k, doesn't make one more or less important. It's just what they do and know.
