Crude Oil is also up this morning a couple dollars a barrel along with our Stock Market, Gold, Silver, everything. This is a weird situation going on. MORTGAGE [...]

The cause of this bump up today is the Federal Government NOT passing a budget with a possible shutdown. I just wish they would use a different term other than “non-essential” employees. Here at the Arlington Bank, we don’t have any “non-essential” employees. Crude Oil is also up to $111 a barrel this morning. Not [...]
