In the United States, as the industry dissects the credit news this week, in a month it will be Memorial Day, honoring those who died while serving (not veterans, and not veterans who eventually passed away). Looking at the holiday calendar, Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays considered to be federal holidays in many countries… but not all countries.

It’s a dog eat dog world out there. You gotta stay up on the news. Baltimore homes being stolen? Yup. As noted yesterday, today we have a press conference with HUD Secretary Scott Turner and U.S. Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte announcing “a significant development in the U.S. housing finance system” at 12:45PM ET.
