    Interest Rates

    In this morning's WSJ is an article on the FED and interest rates. The emerging thinking is that the market "over anticipated" cuts. Cuts now seem to be less likely in both numbers this year and degree of cuts.

    That corresponds to slight upward move in CD rates. CDs of 10 months are at 5.1% plus or minus---a touch above their recent "low".

    My guess is that Jerome Powell might be getting a few calls from those on the left urging a little more downward movement in the Fed rate.

    This Joe Blow keeps just enough in Wells Fargo to avoid their insidious fees
