@sourpatchken Chilitos is 10x better than Chipotle I promise you. Could live with a Chick-fil-A tho

kgn needs a chipotle, chick fil a and wingstop

@Julianinvests_ I'm no expert but feels like q1 2026 until rates reach normal levels. What you think?

The case for cuts this year was weak.

@Boss_Emotions This is democracy. Believe it or not, most people don't like to put in any sort of extra effort than what is required to simply exist and go with the flow. Remember such country voted in Trump lol

Regardless of who win the election now and next year I’ve now realized Jamaica has a problem. So many people voting with no idea of who or what they are voting for. We are doomed

@guruintraining_ Fair enough, makes sense

@ryanxbuilds Yeah they don't. Actually I've only seen a few over 20%. It comes down to location imo. And timing. CAGR unfortunately doesn't account for the timing effect. Meaning when you buy right before a boom or when rates are early really low.

I suspect that in many instances buying a home solely for personal use isn't the "best" use of capital. 😳 Yes I went there. If, accounting for expenses, renovations and non monetary benefits and expenses you are yielding 3% p/a and avg inflation is at 6%...

@Mekiedoll Sure

@ryanxbuilds This isn’t judging. It is a fact that many are lazy.

So many children who grew up with a silver spoon are so…lazy. They have all the resources at their fingertips. They inherited their parents’ network and connections yet they do…nothing

@suebellaC Available?

@thelaymansdr Do you still have them?

Have two VIP lost in time tix selling for 15k each. Lmk

@Beau_Gresham @bankingslut Lol, I think you just proved my point.

@ryanxbuilds @bankingslut Great civilizations have fallen, but not greater.

The single most profound thing I’ve heard regarding United States position in global politics is this: There is a single place the entire world looks to for media in every format across every single platform. One place where 1/2 of all patents are created. Where world elites strive to be educated and where opportunity is infinite. Where the entire world looks when a global conflict arises. Where talented artists go to flourish and creativity is found in every industry. The United States. We can add a multitude of problems on top of our endless list but it’s going to be pretty difficult for anyone to replicate what we have built. That’s always made me feel a lot better.

In 2020 we were given an opportunity to invest in a great hotel project on Disney property. It was a tough fundraising environment, but this very reputable GP was oversubscribed. The good ones usually are, regardless of market conditions. Performance now that project has been delivered: Investors will receive 11% - 13% cash returns (paid quarterly) and will hold for 20+ years (unless an opportunistic sale emerges). In 2023, investors also received $25k of depreciation for every $100k invested. Identifying strong GPs in a sea of mediocrity is tough. We haven’t always picked winners, but we continue to get better at recognizing them.

You’re a CEO with a terrible balance sheet, declining sales, and a stock that’s fallen 40% over the last 2 quarters. Maybe don’t wear your Gucci belt to a meeting with investors?

The JCF has made a comeback like no other. I am gaining confidence in the police again, slowly but surely

@guruintraining_ I feel like 8% growth for real estate is high, even if we have seen that since covid, I believe that's not the norm. Isn't the average growth rate of real estate 4%-5%?

Rent v Buy: The Property Edition #SimonSays People often wonder whether they should rent or buy a home. Personally, I believe that this comes down to the person and each person must make the decision based on their own circumstances. Let’s run through a practical example. 🧵

@guruintraining_ Bro you have to buy a wireless undo button from Apple for $399

iPad people. I was taking notes in a meeting and half of them DISAPPEARED! HELP!

@guruintraining_ Thanks for this, very interesting

Note the land is an appreciating asset while the vehicle is not. So the imbalance is justified. ***Property requires larger upfront cash. Assume that someone that’s buying a X1 may be able to find that 😉

Here’s why I’m more leaning towards not buying a luxury car (at this moment) vs buying one. 🧵

@guruintraining_ I'm not sure if you missed Mandeville

I’m putting my money where my mouth is re my thesis on south coast tourism. 🤫 I missed Mandeville. But I couldn’t help that. Sainty is RIGHT THERE! Me been saying it enuh, take the deep value (growth?) train: -Kingston suburbs -East through to East P -May Pen Mandeville -Treasure Beach and anywhere close by. lol -West…..

The future of Downtown Kingston! We must be visionaries to see what Jamaica could be.

Three things that I am trying to stick to this year that will improve my efficiency and client relationships 10x. 1. If a task on my to do list takes less than 5 minutes, do it now. Especially emails. 2. No meetings before lunch. 3. Do my most daunting tasks first, and early
