This is my personal blog and anything I write here in no way reflects the opinion of Cisco Systems, my employer. If it does, it is only by pure coincidence :) Nothing here constitutes investment advice either, so you can't sue me.

    Hope everyone locked their rates while the getting was good.

    To those of you who are looking at buying a "bargain" house right now, let me just say that catching falling knives is best left to circus performers.

    Needless to say, I believe we are at or near a top for the year in the equity markets, soon to punch through the year's low of 666 on the S&P 500.  Just wanted to go on the record with this since everyone is so unbelievably optimistic right now.  Those green shoots are weeds.
