GNMA Stands Apart

October 9, 2012 By E.J. Smith

When you hear the names Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or the term mortgage-backed securities, you don’t get a warm and fuzzy feeling, do you? Peace of mind and comfort don’t roll off of the tongue either. But some mortgage-backed securities do make sense. So what separates fish from fowl? Four letters: GNMA. “GNMA is the only mortgage-backed security that enjoys the full faith and credit of the United States Government,” reads the website. As you can see on the chart below, the spread between yields on 30-year GNMA mortgages and 30-year Fannie Mae mortgages averages about 8 basis points, or … [Read more...]

The Burger Flipper Recovery Continues

October 5, 2012 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the September employment report today. The headline numbers are an increase in non-farm payrolls of 114,000 and an unemployment rate of 7.8%.

Look for a possible burst of activity at the end of the year when companies will pull forward future purchases to take … [Read more...]

A Sure Bet for You

October 2, 2012 By E.J. Smith

I remember how when I was growing up, my mother always told me she could buy five candy bars for a quarter when she was a kid. I just thought they must have been really cheap back then. Have you ever tried explaining inflation? Anyway, I hope you’ve saved enough money in your piggy bank because you’re going to need it. These days, we’re all living longer. And even though Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has said he can control inflation, it’s easy to see on my chart of inflation expectations that the market doesn’t believe the chairman. Let’s say you retire at 65 and inflation is … [Read more...]
