RE: [ANALYSIS] State of Rental Market - Feb19

You hold and rent out cards for the same two reasons a landlord holds and rents out properties.
Growth and Yield
As long as you're getting at least one, you're winning.
If the card values were climbing and rental returns were terrible that'd be okay.
If rental returns were generous, and card value was stagnant that'd be okay too.
Either would be a clear signal to increase investment, but we seem to be enjoying neither, currently.
Of course a property landlord looks at a 7 year period. I can't imagine looking back on the first decade of Splinterlands and finding a 7 year period where residential property was a better investment :)

Every Wednesday I track (left to right) my daily rental income; then value of the median card (per bcx); then calculate how many of that card I could buy (at that price), for that day's income.
I figure its more a measure of how well I'm performing personally, taking the broader market volatility out of the equation.
I'm no @nealmcspadden, but I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.
