The problem with the current rate environment is we’ve never experienced interest rates this low before. Maybe investors will become spooked at lower rates than they have in the past. Maybe markets will be given the benefit of the doubt if the economy is chugging along.

Hyperinflation isn’t coming and the probability of a 1970s style 10%+ inflation remains low.
