Market on the Hump - 3/25/15 Up, up, DOWN. I've said it before, and I'll say it again until it's no longer true. Rates go up faster than they go down. We saw it again as rates improved over the past 2 weeks, to the point where we're once again near historic lows. The week started off...

Forget About "Millenial" Marketing I'm sick of it. The "M" word has consumed everything, it seems, and I'm just.plain.sick. I haven't heard of a term to define a generation that has instilled more fear in businesses, more action plans in marketing, more cries of "entitlement". I am a ...
