Lots of data continues to develop. One minute we see the stock market racing up at an amazing momentum and the next minute it’s headed downward and fast. One data set tells us everything is going to be okay and the next says quite the opposite. When we are in the midst of unprecedented times, this will be the case. There is lots and lots of noise. Don’t let it drown out the important factors. This week I decided to take a deep dive into housing. I wanted to examine rent debt, mortgage ra...

Crisis after crisis after crisis. That’s the best way to put what’s been going on over the past several weeks in the US. We are experiencing a vaccine shortage in the midst of a pandemic with different variants now surfacing. Questions like will Covid be something that will never going away?

Unfortunately, or fortunately, my fellow A...

As we shift into the holiday season, many of us aren’t as aware of all that’s been going on in the financial markets. It’s the nature of the season. We should be focusing on the cheer that comes with this merry season. But, the economy never sleeps and that’s probably for the best. We’ve gotten a lot of mixed signals from many economic indicators. We’ve also received some much needed good news about vaccines becoming available soon.

It seems as if everything has calmed down over the last couple weeks. We’re hearing more and more about the rising Covid numbers and less about the election. We’re also hearing more from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on the status of the economy and how he believes a recovery is going to take a long time. This is what I also believe. The stock market is in its own world and does not accurately reflect what is being experienced on Main Street. People are still struggling to make ends meet and are...
