Do you need motivation? Only on a Monday, or other days as well?I always enjoyed reading other members sharing posts on Motivation. I don’t recall ever having done one, each time I considered it Active Rain had a glitch or there was always some reason or excuse, so it never happened; at least not that I recall. Since today was a relaxing and somewhat quiet day, as I was reflecting on the past and planning the future, I thought why not do a simple post about Motivation instead?I have always considered myself to be “self-motivated” or “internally motivated” without the need for external motivation. Please do not misunderstand me - I have been to motivational seminars and gatherings hosted by the top speakers. While I enjoyed the time spent and took away some tips and tricks, I do not need...

"Be kind when ever possible. It is always possible" Dalai LamaI have always believed, that  for every action there will be a reaction. Yes, the old physics philosophy for ever action there will be a cause and effect. I have always preached that if we treat people the right way, they will treat us back the same way. Well, it has not always been the case in my life, nevertheless I continued not only preaching, but acting that way and hoping I am right.In other words, I always tried to be myself. It is not easy at times to behave in situations when the other person well let me just be kind and acts like a ‘Jerk’. Now I am digressing, so with that said, let me get back to my point.We can always behave better in situations that we are comfortable with. If we are  a caring and loving person, ...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The Leading Economic Indicator Index rose 0.8% in December, after it's November's number was revised from 1.1% lower to 0.7%.  Next week will provide plenty of data, such as Housing data, GDP and Consumer Inflation (with the Fed's favorite gauge for inflation -PCE).  Also, Investors will be waiting on the FOMC to finish on Wednesday and listen for any new information on the Fed's tightening policy, including it's reduction of it's Balance sheet.  Meanwhile, Q4 Corporate Earnings are being released and it seems like they're underperforming, as stocks not only are declining for today, but the week.  A few indices are approaching correction territory.  MBS is currently Up between 16-19bps, which will be enough for Lenders to come out with better pricing ...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The Philly Fed Index rose from 15.4 in December to 23.2 in January. This index gauges the business/manufacturing in the Philadelphia region.  This is good news based on the contraction in the NY region that was released earlier this week.  Jobless Claims spiked to 286k last week, which should not be a surprise, as this is rather common at this time of year.  This is due to the seasonal workers (from the Holidays) being let go from their jobs.  Lastly, the Existing Home Sales dropped 4.6% in December, as it went from 6.48 seasonally adjusted annualized units in November to 6.18 million in December.  Stocks are Up today as Yields seem to be showing some improvement and more companies release their Q4 Earnings Reports.  We'll touch on Yields shortly!  Me...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  The MBA Mortgage Loan Activity Report released their data (which comes out every Wednesday) and indicated that Home Buyers jumped this past week, as Mortgage Rates continue to rise.  Seems like rising Mortgage Rates are incentivizing Home Buyers to get off the fence; however, they're disincentivizing refinances, as we saw a drop week-over-week.  Housing Starts rose from 1.678 million seasonally adjusted annualized units in November to 1.702 million in December.  A 1.4% rise month-over-month.  Also, Building Permits (future Housing Start) rose 9.1%, which went from 1.717 million seasonally adjusted annualized units in November to 1.873 million in December.  It will be interesting to see it's January's numbers, as we found out yesterday that there was a...
