There&#8217;s a train of thought that says: &#8220;as the Fed lowers interest rates mortgage rates will come down.&#8221; That&#8217;s just not so. The Fed only controls the Fed Funds Rate, which does impact floating rate instruments, like, say, credit cards and high-yield savings...]]></description>

Anyway, 70s soft-rock references aside, I want to write something down and publish it – in the hopes of copyrighting it.
