"I NEVER WORRY ABOUT ACTION, BUT ONLY ABOUT INACTION" - By Roger Slaalien

I NEVER WORRY ABOUT ACTION, BUT ONLY ABOUT INACTION." ~ Winston Churchill.

"JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT...THEY PULL ME BACK IN"  - By Roger Slaalien

"JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT...THEY PULL ME BACK IN." Al Pacino in the 1990 film, The Godfather III And if Bonds and home loan rates thought they were out of the days of volatility...they got pulled right back in, as last week brought daily price swings of almost historic proportions.

"I DON'T MEASURE A MAN'S SUCCESS BY HOW HIGH HE CLIMBS...BUT HOW HIGH HE BOUNCES WHEN HE HITS BOTTOM." General George S. Patton. And the General himself would certainly consider Bonds to be a success last week, as they moved lower to hit a technical "bottom" at the 200-day Moving Average, but then bounced significantly higher throughout the course of the week, helping fixed home loan rates improve by about .25 to .375%.

"AH SUGAR...AH HONEY HONEY" - By Roger Slaalien

"AH SUGAR...AH HONEY HONEY" The Archie's made this the top song of 1969, and in fact, it was the only song recorded by a fictional band to ever reach #1. And like a child who has been overloaded on candy, Bonds have been "bouncing off the walls", and appear all "sugared up".

"CUTS LIKE A KNIFE, BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT"  - By Roger Slaalien

"CUTS LIKE A KNIFE, BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT" Bryan Adams And financial pros will tell you it's wise to never try and catch a falling knife. Seems like decent advice in general - but in the financial world, it means that when the price of a Stock or Bond is in the midst of a severe decline, be very cautious about stepping in to buy...even if it feels so right because the price starts to look cheap.

"LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS" - By Roger Slaalien

"LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS". Slogan from World War II Not just clever words of good advice, this phrase was actually part of the US Office of War Information's attempt to limit the possibility of people inadvertently giving useful information to enemy spies.
