Yep...Euro caught a bid in the afternoon, too.

Say, speaking of the Euro, I noticed when they unveiled it, they're gonna have a 500 Euro note (indeed, I believe an armored car was already robbed of some). Now, we Americans are profligate spenders, but even WE don't have a $500 ClownBuck note! What in the world were they thinking, it's a perfect vehicle for thugs and black marketeers...who now use dollars....soooo, maybe it's to induce the black market to switch to Euros? Clever strategy!<G>

Heinz (or anyone), got any idea about U.S. mortgages a few months from now? I WAS thinking that rates will go lower (less demand, slower U.S. economy, etc.) but the Fed pump, and the likely rise in the 30 year is getting me a little worried...

Any thoughts? (I am still tipping down, since less demand for mortgages, and slower U.S. economy should be more important factors to mortgage rates...I'd think)
