Tucked away on a verdant parcel in a New Jersey woodland sits an unexpected midcentury modern gem so rich in architectural pedigree that its design origins are actually tied to the White House. The glass-walled home in Stockton, NJ, which has just been brought to the market for $2.1 million, looks at first glance like a glittering jewel box nestled among the trees—particularly when the light hits its floor-to-ceiling windows.Built in 1976, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode is the work of artist and designer Charles Solt, whose spent decades working for Lenox China, during which time he was responsible for crafting…

Forecasting is mostly a way of buying peace of mind. You want a number for the worst case so you can decide how frightened to be, and once you have that number, you quietly stop thinking and start bracing for it. That instinct is not irrational.

The provision is aimed at addressing a shortage of housing, state Sen. Julian Cyr (D-Cape Cod) said.”These two-family homes are not large apartment buildings,” Cyr said. “They aren’t large-scale developments. They’re often built by small contractors. But we think they can make a big difference in making Massachusetts more affordable.” Realtor.com® ranked Massachusetts the second-worst state…

By David Enna, Tipswatch.com The Treasury’s auction today of a new 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Security, CUSIP 91282CRE3, generated a real yield to maturity of 2.438%, the highest at auction for this term since October 2008. Investor demand appeared to be weak. The bid-to-cover ratio was a lukewarm 2.30 and the “when-issued” prediction used by bond traders was for a real yield of 2.41%.

Powers of attorney are often signed as part of your estate plan without much consideration. However, they are a powerful tool and should not be overlooked, as they can often lead to abuse. A power of attorney can allow a trusted friend or family member to pay bills for you, deposit checks, and assist you with financial transactions. The agent you name can often take any financial action you could take on your own. However, a power of attorney can also allow an unscrupulous person to take advantage of you by moving money into his own account, paying his own…
