I will be on vacation Dec 24-31 and this time will not be bringing my computer. By Dec 23 I will have removed many quotes, as I can't leave markets GTC for a week, particularly as Case Shiller numbers will be updated on Tuesday Dec. 28.
I'm typically involved in 80+% of the quotes, so don't be surprised if you see a somewhat blank set of quotes in many markets, or no reaction (from me) to the Case Shiller #'s on Tuesday. Anyone who wants to jump in and "make markets" in my absence, is encouraged to give it a go.
I will be back at my desk on Jan 3 (Omicron, TSA and CDC willing), will digest updated numbers, and will be striving to tally a version of month-end/ year-end/ numbers by Wednesday Jan. 5.
If there's an open inquiry, I apologize but I'm not likely to respond until after I return.
My thanks to all who helped during 2021 with quotes, trades, feedback, research, plans to participate, great questions, and encouragement. I expect 2022 to be a pivotal year for home price movements, and remain enthusiastic about the prospects for both exchange-traded futures, as well as HPHF options and Ratio Agreements. I also keen on getting involved in any products related to hedging individual home prices, or in equity-sharing programs.
Thanks, stay safe and healthy, and best wishes for 2022.
John
