Vikings Crush Chargers – Big Daddy Crushes Grossfield

Vikings Crush Chargers – Big Daddy Crushes Grossfield.  I scored the third highest points this weekend in my Fantasy Football League. Guess who I played against, go ahead, guess. Yup, Big Daddy (his high school nickname because he had a huge hairy chest at 16-years old and basically was the center of our group) had the most points and of course, that’s who I played against. Woe is me.

Unless they’re playing the Vikings. In that case I hope for the Vikings to humiliate them on the field and turn those 300+ football players into crying babies. Mission accomplished. That’s all I have to say about that.

My Market Update 9/30/2015

The Fannie Mae 30-year bond is +6bps since yesterday’s close. Generally a lender’s rates/pricing improves when the bond is being bought.

After a fantastic week for bonds with rates dipping to lows not seen in 5 months, next week’s report will likely have a significant impact on pricing. A strong Jobs Report, which will tell traders the economy is stronger than expected, would spur investments into stocks. The result would likely be a sell-off of bonds and forcing rates/pricing worse. However, a weak Jobs Report, which will tell traders the economy is weaker than expected, would spur investments into safer bonds instead of stocks. The result would be improved rates/pricing. I’m really throwing some positive energy towards the latter scenario…if it happens bonds could really push much higher greatly improving pricing. More on this next week…
