These mortgage bonds trade with a spread, or higher amount of rate/return needed, versus the Treasury bonds to account for the higher risks.

No tropical storm, cyclone or state of emergency has been issued.

We do however expect the second half of this year to really pick up in terms of trades.

not sure about the denigration of the trades, for a different example.

The legislature may postpone the payment of taxes, but only in cases of emergency declared by the governor or a parish president pursuant to the Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disaster Act.

When it comes to cash flow versus appreciation, there's a bit of a trade-off.

Knowing what type of value it will trade for when stabilized, to make sure you have appreciation for your efforts.  

As @Charles Carillo said, you can make the most of that time, but most people just waste the 4-5 years and then end up doing something unrelated to their degree field anyway.Maybe look into a Trade School, like an electrical one....nice clean work that pays really well.

My preference was to have a large emergency account.

If I am looking for 100k to trade stock and options, where do I find a lender ?
