Need a little help from my nerdy friends in the mortgage business. The spread from mortgages to the 10 year Treasury is now near an all time high compared to AAA and Baa Corporate debt. We have not see this in 50 years for any period of time. (Except major events, Covid, Lehman crash)

Based on this, mortgage rates should be 1% lower than now. So is this the new norm or can we expect mortgage rates to fall in the near future? (I said that 6 months ago, wrong! lol)

We admire and laud athletes such as Kobe and Jordan for the relentless pursuit over a long period of time of getting better, and we should.
But do you also spend as much time and effort on yourself to make yourself better?

"The questions you ask yourself will largely determine the answers you get.

"Why am I not successful?" You'll get answers that berate you.
"How can I succeed here?" You'll get answers that push you.
Be deliberate in the questions you ask yourself."

The S&P Global gauges reinforced the recent trend of resilient economic data eroding confidence in the outlook for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts starting by mid-year. Traders are pricing in fewer than 100 basis points of cuts by September, down from around 130 basis points earlier this month.

Still looking at falling rates this year!!

Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl on freedom:

"Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

“If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”

That’s problematic advice.

Taken to an extreme, it turns us into hustlers.

The alternative is to realize that the best asks are actually offers.

When we offer to help someone get to where they were going, we’re approaching the relationship with generosity, not selfishness.

What work would we need to do to have sufficient skill, insight and reputation to be able to offer someone else a chance to reach their goals? That’s how we get. Not by asking, but by offering.

"Don't worry about being the most interesting person in the room, just try to be the most interested person in the room.

The interested person asks about others and leaves a good impression because people like talking about themselves.
The interested person is genuinely curious about someone's craft and learns a lot about how things work.
The interested person engages with more people and—because opportunities come through people—is more likely to catch a lucky break.
In general, the interested person learns more and tends to be well-liked. And in the long run, it's hard to keep down someone who is well-learned and well-liked."
