Depends on your timeline.  Are you under or over 50?  If over, you might
want to hold your fire.

The indici I invest in are down 15% and 17%, that's enough for me to start
getting back in.  I've got about 37% of my portfolio in cash, so I can
spread this out over several weeks or even months as I dollar-cost average
back in.

Big advantage of my solar panels is that they protect the roof by absorbing
all the sun's rays.

Agreed. The house we built here in 1996 did not have adequate attic 
ventilation, and as a result the roof had a considerably shorter life. We had 
neighbors replacing roofs at 10-12 years. I was out of the house by then, but 
when I moved back down here one of the first things I did was calculate out the 
roof ventilation on my house. The one I just sold was built by a different 
builder, and had more than adequate ventilation.

Not a good idea, IMHO.  The underside of the roof needs cooling in order to 
keep the life
of the roofing material itself from being compromised.  The attic space is 
supposed to be
the DMZ.

Absolutely. I’ve lived in the GWN so I know all too well about excess humidity 
in a house with a tight envelope. The house we built in Wisconsin had an air to 
air heat exchanger for just that reason. I would still do it on the 
ceiling/attic surface no matter what, as that’s an area where you’re sure to 
lose a lot of energy no matter what.

Winnipeg is probably at least as bad as Anchorage for cold weather.

My house was built in 1981 so is not state of the art in terms of 
insulation etc. However, it is a jump ahead of what was being built in 
the 60s and into the 70s. We have 2X6 stud walls with fiberglass bats 
that are 6 (well 5 1/2") thick and at least a foot of blown in 
cellulose insulation in the attic. It has a plastic vapor barrier 
installed but not one as good as the builders currently use. They use 
heavier plastic now and make more of an effort to avoid punctures etc. 
We have double pane windows for the most part in the original house. 
They do fine except in very cold days when we sometimes get a bit of 
moisture condensing on the inside glass. We put an addition on in 1987 
and used triple pane windows in it. I think that was a mistake as I do 
not think they are much better and the seals have failed in all of 
them while the double pane windows are still good and they are older. 
That might be an issue of who built the windows I suppose.


I guess if I were to build a new house, I would likely make it more 
efficient but our existing house has been pretty good.


It is also possible to upgrade a house. One could add on more 
insulation on the exterior walls etc. There is lots of available 
information on how to do so.

Re: [MBZ] OT Stock Market

[Clay via Mercedes]

I only read the stuff the investments send for tax time.  Either it gets a 
POOP! or an M, then I ignore the returns for a year, in the process 
forgetting what last years exclamation was.

SWMBA loved to refinance my homestead whenever she thought a buck could be 
saved.  For a while, the last mortgage was getting double principle payments.  
A 15 year product was cut to 9, and pays off this month.  Just in time for 
property tax payment, income tax bill, and a mad scramble to unload the place 
this summer.  She had asked if I were interested in building a house in ANC.  I 
did not respond, but have spent the past two weeks researching the heck out of 
how to do just that properly.

Seems it was not what she had meant when she posed the inquiry.  Turns out 
building a proper house to survive the sub arctic is very expensive and 
involved.   A person wants something like R40 walls and R60 ceilings.  Triple 
pane U 0.14 windows, of which no more than 15% of the surface area should be 
glazed.  Exterior doors of R7 or above and some form of airlock to reduce heat 
loss.  And an airtight envelope for reduction of moisture migration.  The 
houses around here are almost to a home non compliant and more suited to the 
mid Atlantic.

I'm an APT buy and hold investor.  There was a quick profit to be made for
anyone wishing to speculate.  Eventually, the stock will calm down again
once the scare is over.

Re: [MBZ] OT Stock Market

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Correct, stocks are going on sale. I think wait another week or so, then dollar 
cost average back in, depending if it looks like a bottom. If the indices fall 
more than 10%, I'll buy a little. If they drop to 25%, buy some more. If we hit 
a 50% major bear, then all my cash and savings go in.

A typical correction has a graph that looks like a W. The first bottom hits, 
markets will climb a bit, then another sell off with a bottom about the same as 
the first. That second bottom is the buy signal that I'm looking for.

Re: [MBZ] OT Stock Market

 Ideally you'll have a pretty big window for exit and exit over time no? Start 
moving stuff to bonds as you reach retirement age?
Recently I decided I probably shouldn't be paying ahead on our house so much. 
I'd been doubling our principle payment to build equity on what had been an 
underwater loan. We've achieved positive equity so I'm going to knock that off 
and bank against buying a new truck. Kinda thinking I should put that money 
into my index fund right about now...

Markets down about 4.5% between Friday and today, and gold is going up up
up.

Truck traffic hasn't really dropped off yet, that'll be the next clue.

Re: [MBZ] OT Stock Market

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

So I think you are right about the winds last Friday, on Saturday I noted
there was a lot of trucks pulling containers again.  However today, no
wind, and truck traffic was down again.

Market keeps going up up up, new highs nearly every day.  Maybe I was
pre-mature, but I'm still going to keep the cash that I took out last week,
which was a small percentage of my portfolio.

Read an article to today about the norks, they are denying that they have
any cases of Kung Flu to report, so that doesn't portend well given that
they share a border with China.

Chinese lego buildings.

Maybe the WooHoo Floo will be over in time for the “Construction” to begin.

Not that much floating shipping, but loads of air cargo through ANC.  I am not 
sure if there has been a significant reduction in trade here, though I am not 
being awoken by 747 engines spooling up in the wee hours of the morning the way 
I used to last year, or this before the holiday season.

The price of Alaska crude dropped below Brent the other day, but picked up a 
few bux this morning.  With the reduction in sales to the asian polluters, 
maybe there will be a significant drop in temperatures this spring and summer.

I think it is high winds today. I drove my truck across the Stono bridge 
yesterday afternoon and it was kinda scary

[MBZ] OT Stock Market

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Today on my way to work, there was a significant reduction in the number of
trucks pulling shipping containers.  The Port of Charleston is one of the
largest on the East Coast of the US.

During the big crash in 2000, I noted that this traffic dropped of
significantly a week or so before the stock market tanked.

Perhaps today's reduction is due to the high winds and the bridges these
trucks have to cross, and a big portion of the drivers are staying off the
road for safety reasons.

I'm probably going to pull back today, sell off some of my index funds and
park that money in cash, maybe buy some GLD (a gold index).  Nothing
radical, maybe 5% or 10%.  If the drop in shipping container traffic
continues into next week, I'll probably sell off more.
