FYI,

Calculated Risk had a plot showing correlation between 30-year fixed and 10-year treasury rates. Thanks to google, here it is.

Using this you can infer what 30-year fixed would have been if you knew what 10-year treasury is…

[quote=Scarlett]It would be interesting to see a similar graph but with “average” 30yr fixed mortgage rates…[/quote]

30-year fixed mortgages did not exist before 1940s, I think.

However given that 30-year fixed rates usually track US treasury interest rates pretty well (within 1%-2%), it is still useful to look at US treasury interest rates.

Saw an interesting chart about US govt. yield for last 200 years. Thought I would share it in this thread. You can see how low the govt. bond yields are ..

[quote=wooga]Forget the sales tax issue – I think the decision to go with the white iPad 2, as opposed to the black iPad 1, is racist!

I second. Why are the only choices black or white? I hope that Apple realizes that our country has progressed enough such that brown is an option too.
