Hi Grace, to continue my post from the clown thread..

Re: Demand and Supply; I think it does work in determining stock & bond prices. In open markets, how else could prices be set if it weren't for demand and supply? If what you're saying is that it is difficult to quantify demand & supply to predict price movements, then yes I agree.

Re: long term rates; I think inflation expectations are one of the major factors determining long term interest rates, but not the only one. Other factors would be risk premiums, time value of money, availability of capital, govt surpluses/deficits. A change in any of these should result in a change in long term rates.
