Walmart stock went down today because their profit margin eaten up by inflation
Walmart lowered their earnings estimates for Q2 and Q3. It means either sales are down (not good) or that inflation has eaten into their profits (also not good because that means they still have inflationary costs to pass on. Which means higher consumer prices)
 
If we go into depression, interest rates will go down. Refi boom for appraisers.
We may be in a new playbook--just take everything you think you know and set it aside, we may be in for many changes we have never seen before . Way to early to start predicting, things, reminds me of Uncle Ben my fathers oldest brother who opened a Walker & Lee Real Estate Office Downey CA on December-1st in 1941 He was also a small builder and had back orders for 12 months or more. He had his big grand opening and a few days later on December -7 Japan Attacked Pearl Harbor. The Wars Powers Acts was implemented and all new home construction stopped as materials were needed for the war .

My Father and Uncle Billy always used to laugh about how we all think we are so smart and then suddenly we get sucker punched. Anyway Uncle Ben who I never knew then died a week before WW-11 Ended. Another Uncle took over the Real Estate Office and sold it and the 1 Acre of Land to one of the First McDonald's Restaurants. He then was so mad at real estate he took the money and purchased a Mc Donald's Franchise, My father and his brothers thought he was nuts but by 1975 he owned 8 or 9 franchises, sold them for millions and retired. What does this happen to do with real estate prices ? I have no idea other-then we never know were the long and winding road will take us.
 
That's $2 cheaper than here.
That's how much I was paying two years ago.
You need to shop around. I don't know how far gas pumps are from you. You probably don't have to be concerned about it anyway.

However, prices are still like $4.70 or higher here in many places. Sam's is digging in at $3.48. Many places are in low $4 range or high $3 range.

That's 87-89 octane. Your car may require high octane like 93 octane. Idk.

Here you go, This will explain it to you in octane differences:
 
"And there you have it. Octane is simply a measure of how much heat and pressure a fuel can withstand before exploding, and — in tandem with a properly designed engine — a higher octane fuel can increase performance and efficiency while decreasing emissions.

Class dismissed."


Technically speaking, it can jack with the pistons when the spark plug fires and cause serious problems to the engine.

Your owner's manual on your car will tell you what octane they recommend.

Every time that piston comes up to the spark plug and valve, that fuel explodes. Think about it that way. That blows the piston down.

Okay, look at RPM's, the more that fuel explodes, the higher the RPM's on the engine. Many of you have RPM guages on your car or truck.

Technically and simplified speaking. Octane needed is directly related to compression ratio. Class dismissed.
Okay, and what determines compression ratio?
 
Fernando may have a car that is high performance. He has lots of money. Does that have anything to do with compression ratios?

Don't answer and embarrass yourself.
