Hello, friends!
At a recent lunch with a local developer, who is also a veteran,
he had intel that over the next 18 months, the government will be bringing back
into the communities 130,000 troops. There is a concentrated effort to push the
vets to Texas (Dallas, FW, San Antonio and--you guessed it--Houston!!).
Actually, Houston is at the top of the list, and its estimated that 65,000 vets
will come over the next 18 months.
So join me, fellow Houstonians, in celebrating our city's
vibrant health, and lets all do our part to be 1) good citizens, 2) give back through philanthropy to the
city that has been so good to us, and 3) adopt a 'pay-it-forward' attitude,
if you have not already.
What is happening TODAY will shape the lives of our children and
the LEGACY we will be leaving behind.
IN THE MARKETS:
Ukrainian conflicts had the biggest effect on mortgage rates
this week. Ending the week flat
to slightly lower, the main news was the worry of the
accuracy of Poland's suggestion that Russia is amassing troops on the border
with Ukraine to prepare for an invasion. How would US and European nations
respond? Sanctions could ensue, and the uncertainty about the outcome of this
brewing conflict is just too much for investors to handle. So they race to the
safe haven of bonds, which drives prices of bonds up, and yields (or rates)
down.
By the way...Notice anything?
Enjoy
your weekend!
