How well do you know your mortgage?
Andreas Lundberg
September 19, 2018
The very well-respected bank team at UBS published a very interesting piece of research today that we believe is well worth taking a look at.

Roger Montgomery
November 21, 2018
Over the last 10 years, quantitative easing (QE) by many of the world’s central banks has driven down interest rates and steered large numbers of ‘investors’ to speculate on the appreciation of anything, creating what’s been called the Global Everything Boom. But now the boom is waning, and highly indebted speculators better watch out. Continue…
