Memorial Day

The Memorial Day weekend kicks off summer.  People travel.  And then there is Brat Fest.  But let us not forget the real meaning of the Day.... to remember and honor those who have served our country to protect the freedoms we enjoy!

Interest Rates

Bloomberg reports that Fed Chair Yellen warned investors in a recent speech that long term interest rates are at very low levels and that once the Fed begins to raise Fed funds, longer term rates "can move very rapidly" and investors could see "a sharp jump in long-term rates."

Florida

I recently spent a week in Vero Beach, Florida.  It is on the east coast of Florida.  The traffic there seems much less congested than on the west coast.  One feeling I came away with after a week there...... I am not ready to retire!
