Mark Hulbert: Investors Needing Steady Income Should Hope For Higher Interest Rates

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Stockholders should think twice before celebrating lower interest rates.

That’s because lower rates reduce the value of higher-priced stocks. While stock portfolios become more valuable, the income from those portfolios declines. The net effect is to leave investors little better off than they were before rates fell.
