More Than a Number

The numbers in the chart below are from Ehler's index of choice; the 20-Bond Go Index as submitted by the publication, The Bond Buyer.  Please consider:

8/11/2011 - Ehlers delivers an estimate of $41,765,598 while the 20-BGI is at 3.97%.

12/15/2011 - Northland delievers an estimate of $39,959,985 while the 20-BGI was at 3.92%.

{ ^ }  So much for a huge drop in rates being the reason for the difference in these two estimates.

1/14/2012 - Ehlers claims in The Laker, their estimate is now millions less due a projected rate of [two] 2.75%.  The 20-BGI was quoted at [three] 3.62% on 1/12/2012.

{ ^ }  This is very curious since The Bond Buyer indicates its index hasn't broken below [three] 3.00% since 1962.

One thing that is certain, is the index reached its lowest level since 1967, on1/19/2012, at 3.60%.  Since that time, the index has increased to 3.68%.  Timing is everything in this venue and rates generally rise into the spring.  Seems like a waste of time and money that the district wasn't locked and loaded and ready to roll like so many other districts were two weeks ago.

  2. ^^^ Someone is feeling a wee bit threatened it would seem. Try yoga--it's a bit more constructive than browsing YouTube and posting childish video where the adults play.

  3. Pretty damn funny watching the idiot Borg lackeys come in here and try to disrupt the flow of information which discloses his inner imbecile. Where were these little helpers when Kevin got stuck in the ropes up at wolf ridge?
