Interest Rates

After the Fed Open Market Committee yesterday, their announcement implies no change in interest rates for next few months.  But longer term uncertain. 

Ouch!

I'm still suffering from "the" game last Sunday.  Can't imagine how those guys feel.

Dangerous Jobs

I came across some interesting information recently regarding risky occupations.  You would think that the most dangerous is being a police officer or a fireman.  But according to fatality statistics being a fisherman is by far the most dangerous.... 200 deaths per 100K.  Fireman have 4.4 deaths per 100K and police around 13.  Other professions with more on-the-job fatalities than cops and firemaen are airline pilots with 57 fatalities, loggers, roofers, sanitation workers and farmers. 

Go Pack Go

I was at the Packer/Cowboy game yesterday with 4 grandchildren, 3 daughters and 2 son-in-laws.  What a special place Lambeau Field is!  The trip home was also fun;  much more so than it would have been with a loss.  Recommend it for everyone's bucket list!

Interest Rates

Each year I get guesstimates from all of our officers on what they feel the prime rate will be by year end.  For 2014 several of our officers guessed 3.25%, which is where the prime rate ended up.  One of our more accurate guessers is saying the 2015 ending prime will be up to 4.00%.  Only a couple officers are predicting rates not to increase.
