You all think rent will go down in light of the CDC updates and delta variant spread? Was about to sign a lease for September but thinking prices might fall if I wait

I don’t think so personally. Boston has a very high vax rate so delta won’t be as impactful here. Also students will be back so I think prices will go up

I think they may go down or stay flat. Because the prices in my building haven’t changed in like 7 months. Still deals to be found. They’re cheaper now than ever actually (people moving into my building have no security deposit; I had one but negotiated mine down to half). The media just likes to create drama. Also, negotiate always.

Unlikely to go down given that Boston isn’t like SF where it’s tech-heavy. High student population (which is back in person) and biotech (which has been in person). Plus vaccination rates are high and guidelines have always been stricter here

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.
