Dumb questions.
Just curious.

What would the effect be if Japan raised interest rates 2 full points next week (or some lower number if that is far too drastic say 3/4 point if you prefer). Clearly whatever they are doing has not worked. Why not try something radically different.

Same question Europe (1/2 point).

Same question US (1/2 point).

In the Us I presume it would knock housing for a loop (but isnt that gonna happen anyway?). When and how do interst rates ever start going up? Thoughts on a bond crash when interest rates do start rising?

Thanks.
Trying to figure out the bond bubble (if indeed there is one).
