Do You Have a
Difficult Family?
A
businessman with a $2.5 billion estate passed away in 1976. He was
single and many individuals, mostly unrelated to him, filed over 40
wills with the probate court. Not surprisingly, the individuals who
filed the 40 wills hoped to become beneficiaries of a large portion
of the estate.

BofA CEO Lewis
Announces Retirement
Embattled
Bank of America (BofA) CEO Ken Lewis announced his retirement this
week, concluding 40 years of service with BofA. Lewis has been under
fire for overseeing the challenging acquisitions of investment giant
Merrill Lynch and the beleaguered mortgage company, Countrywide.
Treasurys
Rise on Drop in Home Sales
Treasurys
rose this week with yields falling as the U.S. employment picture appeared
dimmer. Nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline in September
by 236,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 9.8% according to the
U.S. Department of Labor.
Rates
Remain Low Increasing Affordability
Freddie
Mac reported the 30-year fixed rate mortgage (FRM) at the lowest
level in four months this week. This is nearing the all time low for
the 30-year FRM which was set in April of this year.
