Financial Planning Tip –
Mortgage Rates
Looking at the chart of the 10 year treasury, we can see rates have finally settled and we are hearing the volume of lenders overflow has calmed as well. While the 10 year is not an exact predictor of Mortgage Rates it is loosely correlated.
Now may be a good time to check your Mortgage Rate and consider refinancing!
Here is one of our favorite and most popular posts on the items to remember when you are getting a mortgage and especially when you refinance.
The Virtual Pivot
In true making Lemonade from Lemons fashion, not only have we been able to access the John Mauldin event, with over forty hours of speakers, but a National CFA(Chartered Financial Analyst) event and several others were completed virtually.
We have so much awesome information to share in the coming weeks…. oddly, that we would have not had access to if they had been held live!
Looking forward to sharing…. tons if info!!
Capital Market Comments – They Came Out!
The Look Through Continues
With current earnings being less than stellar, you may ask why the markets are clawing their way back?
It does appear investors are looking through the valley and attempting to price in what a recovery may look like.
The Tuesday after Memorial Day offered multiple openings across the country…. Wall Street wiped its brow as people came out!
Expect bumps, and headline shocks, both positive and negative … but that’s why we are happily conservative investors at heart!
Have a Great Day – Talk to you at the end of June!

Financial Planning Tip –
The Virtual Pivot
Oddly, this heading is the same from last month, but has a different meaning…
Here in this post we discussed how many folks are really enjoying working remotely….
In fact, the mentioned study showed that 98% of folks wanted at least some remote time moving forward…now that’s an incredible Pivot!
In the future, likely some blending of remote and office…. nothing ever will replace face to face, but a nice blend may cut down on away from family and travel expenses…time will tell.
TSA Throughput Statistics
Over a weekend of surfing stumbling onto the TSA Throughput numbers an idea of sharing via graphic form was posted here in this post.
We even created this neat graph…
Good thing we did a review of this as the creation spreadsheet made its way to the recycle bend…not any more… it’s safely back now…
Looking forward to reviewing this again in the future to see if this continues?
Capital Market Comments
The Look Through Continues – Expect Bumps
Global markets continue to claw their way back, as investors look through the earnings drop and lowered interest rates help create a tailwind.
Recently, global markets took a few steps back when increases in cases occurred…. this makes sense.
Global markets are likely ahead of themselves….. time will tell, as mentioned in our Newsletter, there is a lot of horsepower aimed at fixing the situation in Unity!
Have a Great Day – Talk to you at the end of July!
