We have continued mixed signals in the economy, leading to overall confusion for most traders as to which direction things will play out.  Europe continues to be both the focus and a mess.   

In this video I discuss the NAR home affordability index as well as why buying home can makes sense even in a declinging market.  Really!

I would love your comments and feedback.  Good or Bad, you know I need to know.

This week was longer than I hope future releases will be, but it is tough to cover an entire week in under 10 minutes.  Please let me know if you have thoughts on the length and ideas for shortening.
