July 25 has proven to be a significant date throughout history, marking events that have shaped the world as we know it. 1965: Bob Dylan Goes Electric at the Newport Folk Festival On July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan made a bold move that would forever alter the music landscape. Performing at the Newport Folk Festival, Dylan shocked the audience by plugging in an electric guitar, departing from his traditional acoustic folk roots. This moment is often seen as a turning point in music history, symbolizing the merging of folk and rock music, much to the chagrin of some folk purists.

From Forbes:  As expected, today’s “New Residential Sales” report matched the other weak measures: The pessimistic home builder survey results, the declining real (inflation-adjusted) median sales prices, the low lumber prices. The only bright spot is the home builder stock price run-ups to new all-time highs. Or is that mismatch a sign of excess investor […]
