Figured I’d jump in since I had one of the infamous posts and share my thought processes. Being said I haven’t pulled the trigger because it is impossible to really know how this will all play out. My brain below.

  1. Have a well paying job and stability In the company that is poised to do well during and after CV-19.
    2.salary, bonus structure, no debt other than monthly’s and low mortgage along other factors allows for my mind to wander here.
  2. Bored and checking things out
  3. Prefer to unload an outgoing model before value gets worse and get the most equity possible. TBD if it’s higher now or later given events.
  4. Wondering what this will all do to prices and deals-only way to find out is to ask and compare-see if something blows you out of the water.

I think to many points already mentioned it’s a scary thought to do something like this if things end up to be worst case scenario, No matter what a persons situation is, but I don’t think it precludes anyone from getting in the weeds and see how it all plays out if you are able to get it done comfortably.

Say you have a few million net worth and good cash flow. Talking about money not tied up in a business. Does it really matter if you have $10.01M or $9.99M at the end of the year? It’s a rounding error.

What matters more is perception. I know a few people who drive cheaper cars but secretly have a Lamborghini. They don’t want every second person asking them for a loan, get into business etc. and usually those people will spend much more on vacations, education, help etc than cars.

I spoke with a private banker once. What is the biggest holding of HMW individuals. Treasury bonds. Those people take risks in business. What they earned they want to keep safe. So those folks can spend their set lifestyle in good times and bad.

But clothing doesn’t.

I wish… I actually finally did get signed as an E-sport analyst, our contract includes an option for a Las Vegas team house, but irl job ties me down. I will be perusing any E-sports offers, and I already got a verbal, let’s talk out an offer from a local but very well performing E-sport college.

That’s awesome! Congratulations.

I remember hearing about a bunch of colleges investing heavily in building teams, so I could only assume that R6, CS, and LoL would be top priority.

All are on the back burner, Valorrant is the hawt thing right now but very overhyped. CS is only hardcores and tryhards, League is toxic af, Rainbow is being killed by Developer (Don’t ask it’s messier than a barnyard massacre), and I’ve put on over 100 hours since this quarantine started, nothing to do except play, eat, sleep, and cry over what’s to come.

Valorant is really hot for sure. I think a really good professional scene will keep it going. Riot knows how to do it.

I thought I saw something about reorganization of R6. Hopefully everything gets figured out.

I’ll pm you the story. I personally know 2 people involved in this mess, or ex teammates.

Wishful thinking about car prices going up…

What makes you say they are going to go down.

I’m almost sure used car prices are going to tank.

New car, is a completely different story. There is no inventory… dealers and manufacturers aren’t going to give cars away that they don’t have. This isn’t '08 where production kept on going, production has pretty much stopped across the board

Production will restart soon.

Doesn’t matter, any shutdown in the system will cause lags. Its not like if they start now cars will be here tomorrow… There will be at least a 2-3 month lag, right now.

Just as an example, one of my Lexus dealers, typically has an inventory of 200+ new cars. They right now have 50… I had to call the owner to get any deal whatsoever for a customer. They aren’t going to blowout inventory they don’t have.

Programs from manufacturers haven’t gotten much better with the exception of Volvo.

There isn’t going to be 200p/m crazy, ballon guy unicorn specials, maybe some good deals on high inventory highline cars, but not everyday cars. However, I do think we will see some crazy deals on lease returns and preowned rental cars.
