In its press release, the FOMC had .....

A Simple Explanation Of The Federal Reserve Statement (August 9, 2011 Edition)
Mortgage rates continue drifting downward, despite -- or because of -- a ratings downgrade on long-term U.S. government debt. Standard & Poors issued a single-notch downgrade after Friday's market close, from AAA to AA+.
Of the roughly $9.4 billion in publicly-held U.S. debt, 72 percent is long-term (i.e. with duration of 2 years or longer).
U.S. short-term debt was not downgraded.
When an entity -- government, business, or....

Welcome
Don't HATE me because I am conservative with YOUR money! Let someone else take the risks.
Feel free to check me out here, but if you prefer, you can go directly to one of the following:

Orlando Real Estate and the Mortgage Chili Blog
I have a reputation for my highly relational approach to my Orlando mortgage business and intentionally blur the lines between business and friendships.
"All things being equal, people would rather do business with people they like. I believe that all things not being equal, people would still rather do business with people they like."
It is with this philosophy that I have built one of the most loyal groups of clients [read: friends!] and successful mortgage and Orlando credit repair practices in the Central Florida arena.
Don't be surprised if you hear me ask, "How can I help you in your [life, business, etc.] today?" And when I does, know that it is driven by a sincere desire to serve those around me... pay it forward so to speak.
I have a record of self improvement that would rival that of anyone in the industry. I either am or have been aligned with:
I have also invested in my community with my time:
I, Chris Brown, pride myself as NOT always being available, and surprisingly,when I took that approach long ago, my business grew! If you don't make the time in your life for the things that are truly important, you will fill your time with things that are not. For me, it is God First, family second, business third. I am only able to pour my life into my clients because I build boundaries to recharge my batteries with my family and my Creator."
Chris's home for living with life balance.
