Minyanville’s T3 Weekly Recap: Stocks Fade After Early Bounce
Stocks were strong early this morning to negate last night's JPMorgan (JPM)-inspired weakness but faded back to near the lows in the afternoon. The JPMorgan trading loss is a big deal but in an oversold market it wasn't enough to drive stocks sharply lower in the morning. The S&P (^GSPC) is still below the key trendline that has been broken which means composure is still somewhat bearish. Key stocks like Apple (AAPL) are also in a period of price contraction as opposed to price expansion. It's likely we will have to wait until next week to get any potent directional

Minyanville’s T3 Daily Recap: Stocks Fade After Early ISM-Fueled Rally
MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL The market made a green start to May but closed the day very weak after early strength. The 10 a.m. ISM Manufacturing survey that kicks off the data calendar each month exceeded expectations triggering a sharp rise in stocks until noon eastern time when all momentum seemed to disappear from sight. Indices hardly got a positive tick the rest of the day and gave back the majority of those morning gains. The S&P was strongest finishing 0.57% higher while the Nasdaq gained only 0.13%.

To Pay Off Your Mortgage Early or Not To Pay Off Your Mortgage Early?
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about whether or not you should pay off your mortgage early. The bottom line: It depends. From a purely financial perspective, having a 3.5% interest rate mortgage locked in at 15 years, getting a tax deduction, and watching your income keep pace with 4% inflation means that your real cost of borrowing is negative. That is, you are actually getting paid to not pay off your mortgage.
On the other hand, people are not purely rational financial beings. There are certain risks they don’t want to take. What if you lose a job? What if you are injured and can’t work? What if your spouse passes away? What if you have a child that is born with expensive special needs? The emotional contentment that comes from not owing money to a bank, and knowing your home can’t be taken away as long as you pay your property tax records, is valuable.
Personally? I tell most people they are better off wiping out the debt as long as they don’t strain their liquidity too much. Most people will do something stupid if they amass a lot of cash – either make foolish investments or spend the money. Those are far more tolerable if you own your home outright.
