Lock Watch for the Week of 6/11/2018

 

Volatility-O-Meter:

This week could go nuclear, no pun intended.  The week will start with the world making sense of what happened at G7, then figure out what will happen with North Korea, then watch the Fed raise rates, all the while with a backdrop of shifting sands in Europe.

Mon, 6/11:       3-Yr Note Auction (8:30am) and 10-Yr Note Auction (10am). 

Tues, 6/12:       CPI (5:30am) and 30-Yr Bond Auction (10am).   

Weds, 6/13:     PPI (5:30am) and FOMC Meeting Announcement (11am).

Thurs, 6/14:    Jobless Claims, Retail Sales and Import/Export Prices (5:30am).

Leonard Skinner

Back in the 1960’s there was a gym teacher at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, FL, who, it is reported, harassed with great enthusiasm the male students that listened to rock and roll music and wore their hair a bit too long for his liking.  Several of this student body demographic did what any rebellious high schoolers might do in return, they created a series of running jokes to lampoon Skinner.  This, in and of itself, is not unusual.

 

After Skinner retired from teaching he became a real estate agent (go figure) and the owner of a couple of bars in the Jacksonville area. 

 

After the students graduated (though I can't verify that they all did), they went on to form southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Lee, that is a great photo, where does this realty operate?   Nice reblog for our current rates.

Thank You Joan Cox! The lender is in California. The realtor, Leonard Skinner, was in Jacksonville, Florida but passed away in 2010. He was the inspiration for the name of the southern rock band Lynryd Skynyrd.

Aloha,  Lee Potts , stopped by to see what you are up to.  In Chicagoland today and both my home and office in Orlando is hot, hot (95) as is Chicago.  Have a wonderful day and have or ask someone to have a shaved ice for me - any flavor.

Aloha Lee Potts!  Stopped by and thinking of you living in Paradise.  I remember all the wonderful times and fantastic life when I lived in Hawaii.  You are so lucky, Lee.  If you happen to pass by any of my favorite foods this weekend, please think of me -  Huli, Huli chicken, fresh Lobster from the ocean, Chicken or Pork Katsu, Kalbi Ribs,  Sashimi, goodies at a Luau, shaved ice......  missing them.... Have a wonderful weekend, Lee.

All is well Debe Maxwell, CRS  - thank you VERY much for checking in!  Fortunate to have a few new listings, several escrows in process, and not too much damage so far from the second tropical storm of the season.  But what we have is nothing compared to what is coming your way!!  I hope you and yours will be safe in the next few days.

Aloha, Lee Potts stopped by again to see what you are up to and how you are doing.  Sending greetings from Orlando, Florida...very  happy  - like you living  in 'Paradise.'  it is time for the Winter Season to swing around here on the mainland...however, NOT IN FLORIDA.  This makes me sooooo happy;  I hate winter....I hate snow...  And whenever or ever I do happen to miss the refrigerator freezing cold or snow,  I know I can always find it somewhere.

Wishing you Aloha from Orlando

Mahalo Jane, I appreciate it! Cruising along here, always busy - but NEVER cold!  All the best - Aloha!

Stopping by to see my aloha friend from Maui. Mr. Lee Potts, I would love to hear more posts from you on Maui and my favorite island, Oahu.   I have never been to any of the outer islands, though I must have made around 25-30 flights from the mainland to Hawaii.... I love my old haunts on Oahu  -  Halemoku Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Pearl Ridge Shopping Mall,  Magic Island, Waikiki and Waikiki Beach....Ala Moana Shopping Mall, the Ala Wai Canal,  Iolani Palace, Diamond Head, Kahala, Kalakaua, International Mkt. Place....  well, you get the idea  - Makapuu, Waimanalo, the Pali, Punchbowl, Aloha Stadium.....   Hahahahahahaha.........and my Huli Huli Chicken, Katsu, Sashimi, rainbow shaved ice with a small scoop of ice cream on the bottom.  Lee, you are so very lucky.....Tell us about it...  What does Maui have that is different than Oahu, Honolulu, Waikiki....?   Aloha, my friend....   University of Hawaii Manoa...North Shore... KAWAIAHA'O  1836 Hawaiian Church .......

  Hahaha ~
