But I digress….The Market may be Sniffing Something OutAs it stands today, the stock and bond markets are taking the inflation news with zero grains of salt.

If we need to leave paneling we usually hit it with a coat of bonding primer and paint it. 

It's essential to recognize that mortgage rates are influenced by a myriad of factors beyond the Federal Funds rate, including Treasury bonds, GDP, unemployment, housing demand, and inflation.

If it is an employer-sponsored 401k plan, then your employer will control the investments, and you will be limited to the stocks, bonds, or mutual funds they generally offer.

But, do you think their bond or insurance is going to cover you ...doubt it.

They can tell ya all about how to whiten teeth, shake hands, hair product, but economics lol, yeah not so much.

Yeah @Cole Meier-Hollenback, there's nothing like cutting your teeth on someone else's dime!

You will want to check with your insurance carrier and I would make sure they are properly licensed, insured and or bonded. 

Diversify the portfolio in the markets, bonds, and some alternatives like real estate.

It is also contributing to high bond spreads (and thus higher mortgage rates).
