Money, money, money

Nortel declared bankruptcy today. That's a shocker (not really). Will need to get more info from Jeremy when he's in town this weekend.

Also was forwarded a nice succinct article regarding the change in leadership at Borland. Basically, it says that our former CEO created a mess in the 3 years that he headed the company, and "when a company promotes its CFO to acting CEO, instead of advancing a sales or product executive, that’s a good sign that the company’s going to be sold soon."

And if you're in the market to refinance your home, this article from the WSJ might be helpful.

Well timed article on the refinancing; right now I am in the process and getting 4.75% quote with 0 points, but it will cost me $3300. Though I can streamline for $0.00, but only get a 5.25% rate. Hmmmmm, what to do...

Seems like when I get laid off from Nortel I shouldn't apply at Borland. Ugh.
