Two Steps Forward, One Step Back - Still Leads to Progress

Here is a photo of the Capitalogix team noting a successful test release.

 

 

When you play a big enough game ... the journey is long ... and it can't just about the final result. 

On a day-to-day basis, it is about sucking less, measuring progress, moving forward ... and remembering to celebrate along the way.

Remember, the tip of the iceberg is only part of the story.

The Iceberg Illusion reminds us that when you see a company killing it - most of the time, all we got to see was the success part at the top, not the struggles and failures it took to get there.

Here's to the focus, learning, resilience, and patience that got us here!

Onwards.

How High Is High - Bay Area Home Prices by Transit Stop

I was just in a San Francisco restaurant for a lunch meeting.  We had a burger and a salad - the bill came to $60.  It was a good burger ... but come on!

Likewise, it's no secret, Bay Area home prices are among the highest in the country.

Below is a chart that shows how those prices vary depending on which Caltrain stop a home is near.  To do this, Estately Real Estate Search analyzed the last six months of home sales for houses, townhouses, and condos that were within a one-mile radius of each transit stop, then broke them down by price per square foot.

Take a look:

 

 

At an average of $1,630 per square foot, Caltrain's California Avenue stop, in Palo Alto, is the Bay Area's most expensive transit stop based on nearby home prices.

So, do you feel better about real estate prices in your area?

After a Quick Rally, The Dow Jones Industrial Average is at Resistance

Impressive rally ... Now what?

Here is a weekly chart of the DJIA.  Price has rallied to the overhead support/resistance level and its 40-week moving average (which is also its 200-day moving average).

 

via StockCharts.

 

Meanwhile, according to StockCharts, the percent of NYSE stocks trading above their 50- and 200-day moving averages is soaring. Currently, 73% are above their 50-day lines (which is close to the level hit during the November peak) ... and 34% are above their 50-day lines. That reflects the short-term improvement gained during the last month in major stock indexes.

What happens here, at the resistance barrier, will help determine if the short-term rally has more staying power.
