Mixed News as Bonds and Mortgage Rates Flip Flop
Jobs Report indicates improvement ___________________________________________ Last Friday’s Jobs Report indicated surprising results.

Stocks were up sharply on the news, but have recently fallen back from comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. The Fed Chief commented that inflation will remain
