Dear Fellow Expat:

We’ve made it through the week. The stock market doesn’t want to pick a direction…

We finished the week with negative readings for our Signals across the board. This is a bad time for home builders, who have taken a few hits in the last week.

Funny, I now wrestle with the idea of buying a house in this terrible market.

I’ll talk myself out of it, but just let me cook here for a while.

It’s like fantasizing about winning the lottery - you already know what you’ll buy - but you don’t think of many people coming out of the woodwork.

Same with buying a house.

It feels like a great idea… but then you see the plumbing and realize the mortgage will keep you locked in there… for who knows how long.

Plus, I could instead buy a higher-grade Mickey Mantle Rookie Card and stare at it instead of making a down payment that I won’t see for years.

A stylish alligator dressed in a sharp suit and tie, standing upright and looking delighted as it admires a 1952 Mickey Mantle Topps rookie baseball card. The card is displayed prominently in front of the alligator, with intricate details showing its vintage design. The background is a cozy, well-lit collector's room, with shelves of memorabilia and a warm atmosphere. The alligator appears joyful and intrigued, with its tail curled behind it.

It’s a renter’s market. It’s going to be for a while.

We start with a quick hit before our weekly Republic recap…
