| Stocks Got Rocked. Bonds Picked Up Some Slack | ||
| 11/5/2026 2:04 PM | ||
| Stocks Got Rocked. Bonds Picked Up Some Slack Chipmakers and other tech names got absolutely rocked today starting at the 9:30am NYSE open. Hedge funds dumped semiconductors like a bad habit early and often (Sandisk down 20% anyone?!), and with tech comprising so much of the 2026 growth story, the rest of t...Read More | ||
| Another Decent Drop as Mortgage Rates Move Under 7.2% | ||
| 11/5/2026 1:15 PM | ||
| Yesterday, it was a drop below 7.25%. Today, the 7.20% floor was broken. Mortgage rates have been on a tear over the past month and are now back to 7.17% for the average lender. If there"s one thing that deserves most of the credit for this bull run, it"s the extreme bearishness in tech stocks. The NASDAQ is now down roughly 14% from the October h...Read More | ||

| Why am I a sucker for stories like, “What Do the Twins in the Shining Look Like Now?”? Is the American public a sucker for not being more concerned that no politician seems concerned about the burgeoning deficit? Will there be any “fiscal conservatives” in Congress, or the White House? Here in Dallas, one of the topics, of course, is the election. ...Read More | ||
| Modestly Weaker For a Few Potential Reasons | ||
| 11/5/2026 8:06 AM | ||
| Bonds are starting the day a few bps weaker. 10yr yields are just over 4.90% and considering they were almost 50bps higher a month ago, you"re free to go about your business today without scrutinizing this morning"s baby bump. It could be purely incidental. But for those who demand scapegoats, the easiest suspect to blame would be corporate debt is...Read More | ||
| Elections, Oil, and Neocloud Stocks, Oh My! | ||
| 11/4/2026 3:19 PM | ||
| Elections, Oil, and Neocloud Stocks, Oh My! There are 3 publicly traded neocloud stocks that are big enough to care about. All 3 hit new long term lows today (ranging from 6 months to over a year).

| Mortgage Rates Fall Back Under 7.25% | ||
| 11/4/2026 2:25 PM | ||
| 30yr fixed rates moved over 7.25% on September 23rd, 2026 and continued to long-term highs of 7.61% by early October. But starting in mid October, rates began declining as the market grew increasingly concerned about the tech sector. Until today 7.27% marked the floor of the present rally. Now the floor is lower. Rates began the day moderately low...Read More | ||

| Yes, there was/is an election which is certainly a discussion topic here in Dallas, but regardless of the results, many people who don’t own homes want to buy one, and people who do may be facing life changes and could use personal advice. Here’s a trend: Homeowners who won’t give up a 3 percent mortgage are becoming landlords instead. Do you have ...Read More | ||

| Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Higher After Stronger Econ Data | ||
| 11/3/2026 2:21 PM | ||
| Well... they can"t all be winners. It seems as if rates could do no wrong over the past 3 days with each marking the lowest level in more than a month for the average top tier 30yr fixed rate. Today wasn"t a winner, but it wasn"t exactly bad. Apart from the past 3 days, today would still have been the lowest rate in more than a month, and it was on...Read More | ||
