D.H. Lawrence

Bible
“As long as housing prices don't go down, consumers have more equity they can borrow against. If mortgage rates go up another 1.25 or 1.5 percent and pierce 7 percent -- watch out. That's when the housing bubble bursts and consumers would cut back on spending a lot.”
Peter Morici
“I think that between now and September or October there's not going to be a lot of activity in equity markets. People are not going to be wanting more exposure until we see confirmation of a recovery.”
Peter Oppenheimer

Dave Eskelsen
