Why Interest Rates May Stay Very Low For A Lot Longer
Great article. Thanks for posting Ted. I notice it has only had 16 views in MFO. That's a shame, because this is a high quality article and very well written.
Yup, stuff/info that some of us have been chewing upon here and (FundAlarm) for the past 5 years.
Wait til the 30 mortgage moves above the 5% rate and watch what happens to everything related to existing and new home sales.
Do continue to believe the "rock and the hard place" for rates will be here for some time to come.
And the longer the clock runs with folks comfortable with low rates, the harder it will become for the central banks to attempt to reverse the direction.
Fun times ahead for all things investments will continue. Sadly the clock of investment time and inflation will continue to destroy the savings accts of many Americans; especially the senior citizens who want nothing to do with the Wall St. scene.
Hoping everyone's magic 8-ball is in proper working condition.
