Please keep in mind "Wall Street" includes millions of middle income individuals and families with 401 K's who have worked for decades, investing a bit of their hard earned wages instead of spending it on current desires with a hope of providing for a better retirement.

Right. I'm in that bunch. I think the reference to Wall Street above was talking about the individual investors. They're not the ones who usually take the hit. It's either us via our 401ks or everyone because of a bailout. Not that I expect something like this to hit bail out levels.

Also, that initial AirBNB collapse data is being challenged (example below):

 
That dude predicted a housing market crash in Nashville last year. I'm still waiting on that.

The market has slowed some with the Fed's rate increases but it's still well above average.

It will stay that way until people stop moving here. Mostly what we are seeing is stagnation because it's mostly pulling people out of the market who might have moved up but because of interest rates are choosing to stay put.

My neighbor across the street was trying to sell a few months back after being in the house for less than a year, once interest rates shot up they decided to stay put. Also doesn't help our payments down here all went up due to a property tax increase and an insurance rate increase as well.
 
Cord cutters, where do you get your Preds feed? Just got our monthly Xfinity bill and it’s finally gotten to where I think it’s time to do something, especially considering they just put ATT Fiber into my neighborhood.

YouTube looks good but I don’t see Bally Sports. Just wondering what other options are out there.

Unfortunately there aren't a ton of options that you will find cheaper than Xfinity. I actually just paid for the BallyApp last year. It was fine on my smart TV but the quality was consistently poor on the phone app.

Espn+ and a VPN works in the regular season. Problem comes when the games are on TNT or the regular ESPN channel. Sucked during the playoffs.

NHL is gonna need to get on top of a universal streaming option pretty quick.

I use XFinity but I pay for their internet service only. I switched from AT&T because they forced me to use their modem and router. XFinity allows me to use my own modem and router so they’re who I chose. Along with the XFinity internet package, I pay $20 a month for the minimum (basic) XFinity streaming app. It has Bally and all the channels my wife wants.
 
On a related note, haven't heard anything about the Bally bankruptcy recently. I assume however that goes will have a big impact on how to stream games.

This might be a good trade off. I don’t really want to have to change and I already have equipment. I can then just get whatever streaming service fills in the gaps I suppose.

Thanks all for the replies.

I just get whatever illegal stream my son finds for me. There was a really good one that worked nicely for a couple years but it went away last year and we scrambled around a bit last season and missed a few games here or there when we couldn't find one in time.
 
Saw Ryan Ellis today at the farmers market. Neat. Didn't know he lived down here
I guess if you are LTIRetired you can go and live wherever you want. Once he signed the 8-year extension, he probably thought he'd live forever in the Nashville area. Man, I didn't like him all that much as a player (in the final years anyway), but he still seemed like a cool guy, and even while you know these guys aren't hurting for $$$, it still has to suck a lot to have your career ended earlier than expected, so I still feel sad for him on that front. :(

What's crazy is the injury that got him. If you told me his knees just fell apart I'd be like, " yep knew that was coming ", but this core problem wasn't something he had dealt with his entire time here we know of. That's also an injury that probably makes just living a normal life suck.

My co-worker in Milwaukee is trying to buy a bigger house. The last one that he looked at, he was outbid by somebody who went $20K over the asking price. There aren't a lot of houses on the market in this area.
 
I went to the Post Office today to buy some stamps before the next increase and the second one this year. What I wanted isn't coming out until the fall. I bought a sheet of 20 Endangered Species stamps. In the bottom left hand corner is the Nashville crayfish. I never heard of it before, but Biology is not my strong suit in science.

Does anybody know any info on the Nashville crayfish?

Are all y'all fryin' 'em up? ;)

I go through Hulu for ESPN+. We used to have Bally when we were on Spectrum (ATT Uverse).

I actually just read about them recently at the Nashville Zoo. Apparently they are only in Mill Creek, which if you are familiar with, is basically the dumping ground for much of South Nashville. I grew up fishing this creek and it's really a shame what the population boom has done to it. Anyways, the Zoo is heading up a project to try and improve their habitat and consequent native numbers. I can't imagine a crayfish getting much attention, so I assume like many things, they will be gone by the time my kids have kids.

Ok time for some controversy the new Indiana Jones movie is getting roasted but it’s actually much better than people say. It’s certainly better than the last one, and holds up for the franchise.

I am too old to read into mass reviews like I use to. I pretty much watch a movie and if at the end I was entertained then I am happy with it.

I fished under the old car bridge that was Harding Place, when I was 8-12, and some over near Thompson/Currey Rd. But Textron ruined it in the 80's, and then the raw sewage stuff came to light. It's awful the way the city has managed that creek.

I fished that same stretch along Currey Rd. That was the neighborhood I grew up in. Our house backed up to the railroad tracks, so it was a short walk across the tracks to a sweet little honey hole with smallmouth under the railroad bridge.
