Mortgage Brokers, Bankers and the Big Four - 10/29/08 01:18 PM
And to think I was worried that only the JPMorgan's and Bank of America's would survive. But now the government has decided that banks are a good investment and chosen some regional banks including my bank BB&T. How comforting!

True it has gotten much more competitive for mortgages and Bank of America for one is squeezing margins trying to grab … (0 comments)

Perhaps I'm cheating! - 10/28/08 02:32 PM
I really hope people don't think I'm cheating on today's blog post, but I do truly believe that this new listing is an example of how good people are able to live in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina.

No, I mean the simple definition of leverage, specifically using technology and people leverage to be more efficient.

and so it begins again... - 10/22/08 10:04 PM
No I have not blogged before, but was quickly reminded of the principle I used to teach "Save Often". After posting what I thought was a fairly witty introduction to the blogging world, I navigated to another page and lost all my work! I had even spell checked.
