Not in the market - except for the TNX. Perhaps this will lead to one last panic filled rush of refi's. My brother is locked in at 4.5% or something like that. I think he's turning his 30 year mortgage into a 15 year and will be paying somewhere near the same amount each month. Vacation property still seems rather hot up by the lake. I can't help but think only fools are buying now but I guess you never know. I can't tell you how many times I heard people saying this week how real estate never seems to go down. I wonder how real estate did back in the 1920-30's. Especially vacation properties. I wonder where I could find stats like that. It would be interesting to see. A pleasant surprise for me was when I looked at the chart of Silver today. It seems that those rolls of American Silver Eagles that I bought earlier this year are going up in value a little bit. Silver seems to be making a nice bullish move here. At a three year high and not much resistance until $5.50ish. I'll have to keep an eye on how the market for Eagles continue on Ebay. It should help provide some anecdotal evidence of a trend or something like that. I wonder what happened in 1998 that caused that huge spike up to $7. Back in 1983 it was high as $14.95. Was Madonna wearing silver jewelry back then? <g> How's everything else? What have you been up to? Any digs or rock climbing in the near future? How's your big bird? -LittleTurtleDoveWalker
