The Economy

[trottigy]

I get an interesting newsletter called "The Kiplinger Letter".

I have been reading it for about 2 years now and have seen them to be "fairly" accurate in their assessment of the economy over the last 2 years. It is helpful to have some idea on what is happening so you can make a few financial decisions (if you have any money or home left to make such decisions).

I especially like it as it tells why it feels things will go in a particular direction. Their analysis is usually pretty sound and neutral.

This jumped out at me -

Thirty-year mortgages... up a full point by year-end, due to higher Treasury rates and stronger housing demand.

Like I said, things seems to be on a small upswing, like we are recovering, albeit ever so slowly.

hmm.. I'm not much for watching the financial situation as I am poor.. lol but doesn't the bible tell us that things will seem to be getting better just before armageddon?

Not just better, but good enough for them to say, "peace. & security " 1 Thessaly 5:3

It just never seemed likely to me that this would be said when the economy was in the toilet. But if it picked up significantly - who knows;)

OK another graphic for this week:
