1976 is the last time the “market mortgage rate” (which is now 7.9%) diverted from the “effective mortgage rate” (which is now 3.6%) like this.

It took until 1984 for the two to converge again.

[Lance Lambert @NewsLambert]

Blue line = average 30-year fixed mortgage rate

Purple line = effective mortgage rate of all outstanding mortgages

Green = when the "effective" rate is greater than the "market" rate

Red = when the "market" rate is greater than the "effective" rate

If UConn wins tonight they have the weirdest 25-year run we'll ever see. Would be:
-5 national titles since 99
- 5 conference titles
- Missed Tournament 8 times
- 7 times not out of first weekend
- 3 title games against 5 seed or worse

38% of households have a dog. Just 30% of households have a child.

Dogs are becoming the new kids.

Look at where people live in India. What's that band up north?

That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it replaced.

And once you start to look, they're everywhere...

If you bought a Tesla last week and now the price is $20,000 less… buy another one.

Offshore (illegal) online gambling company BetUS is letting users bet on flight cancellations and delays.

We don't condone placing illegal bets, but Spirit Airlines feels like easy money, right?
