Last week in review (August 13 - 17, 2012)

Stocks and bonds have been competing for investment dollars, as the economic reports continue to deliver mixed results. Read on for details


Table Source: Mortgage Success Source

Several reports last week delivered good news for our economy.  The headline Retail Sales number came in at 0.8%, much higher than expectations. Building permits jumped to their highest level in four years and Consumer Sentiment also improved, coming in higher than expectations. In addition, inflation at the consumer level was tame. This is typically a good sign for bonds, as inflation hurts the value of fixed investments like bonds, which means tame inflation is also good for home loan rates since they are tied to mortgage…

Testimonial For Cary Porter

Our house sold within the time period and the price range that Cary indicated in our first meeting with him. There were a few issues around access to the house due to our alarm system, but otherwise the process was smooth and we would recommend The Cascade Team.

(Photo via eBay)A certain segment of the population likes to be prepared for the worst, and for many doomsday scenarios, decommissioned underground nuclear missile silos are the ultimate hideout.

Despite this, there are government-constructed nuke-proof bunkers, some of the strongest structures made by man, that have lingered on the market without selling, and their prices have been slashed.

One bunker that CNBC has written about has had its price slashed from $4.6 million to $750,000.

Interested in more? A website called Missile Bases has numerous others listed for sale as well. Truth be told, some of these sale-priced bunkers are fixer-uppers. But on the plus side, once…

“A guy came out and freehand drew it, and they [the owners] just kept it over the years,” explained Carstensen. “One of the son’s friends posted it on YouTube later, and that’s when it went viral.”

The Bat symbol is only one of the…
