My Schedule…and a Little Extra:  You are small…or big depending on how you look at the universe.  If you’ve ever wondered how big or how small the universe is, or how you relate in scale, then check this very cool website out:  Scale of the Universe.

My Market Watch:  Bonds are pushing lower on news from China and Greece, but don’t expect rates to sharply increase.  As I have suggested over the past several weeks, the stock market is ripe for a correction, any correction…any news even slightly favoring the economy would be a reason for traders to put money into stocks and not bonds.  That said, in general the economy is not in a good place or as I have put it, “the economy has not been fighting for position.”  Even if there is a small correction in rates over the next few days, rates would still be at all time lows and you should be taking full advantage of it.  If you haven’t called everyone in your database who is eligible for a refinance, then hire someone to call them for you.  Disclaimer

My Schedule:  I have two meetings today at 11a and 3p.
