Life, Lessons, Encouragement and a little market insight to boot

I love Denver, its such an excellent city. Between constant sunshine (except for this May lol) and endless outdoor activities there is so much to do you will run out of time before you do it all.From white water rafting to golfing to kayaking to zip lining hiking a fourteener (a 14000 foot peak) ...

After surpassing the wettest month in the history of Colorado, we got rain 28 of the 31 days, I felt like I was back in the Midwest again. Well this weekend was back to a much more normal CO weather pattern.Blue skies, sunshine got some color back on my face and arms and legs and feeling that lit...

With news of softer than expected GDP combined to the weakness of jobs with higher than anticipated new claims and continuing claims (unemployment) I expect the FNMA 3.0 will end the day back above 101.5, which it has not been at in over 2 weeks!How long will this rally last?Who knows the market ...

Well the market never ceases to amaze.Job reports show higher then expected initial claims as well as continued claims and yet there is no rally to bonds...

In a Memorial Day tradition the Indianapolis 500, a pinnacle race for Formula 1 Racing, saw an improbable Champion Juan Pablo Montoya, claim victory by 1/10 of a second over 2nd place finisher, Will power.

What can I say that has not already been said.Thank You to all the men and women who have chosen to serve this great country. Saying thanks however is simply not enough, you need to go the extra mile for them as well. So while this may be top of mind during a Memorial Day holiday when you see a s...

I find it interesting how our society wants to place a label and tag on all of us. From ethnicity to age all of us fall into "some" category!Why is that?Can we not just be individuals do we all have to carry a label?I don't market to millenials and never will. I don't market to elderly and never ...

I cannot wait for tonights fight. Every single fight in the main event is a monster and filled with the stars in each weight division. I would likely order this fight for any 1 of the fights in the main event but this card is SO stacked I almost flew out to Vegas to watch it in person.I love UFC,...

Well in a never ending battle the data, and even in this case the Fed Chairs Speech,  supports one action yet the market is in reverse?I always say time will cure this irrational behavior but the equities market is almost on an insatiable goal to crack 20k on the DOW and will do any and everythin...
