Something truly odd - Back to ivesting very ;ow interest rates ? I don't agree with this, but things could move in this direction short term (rest of the year ? to mid 2006 ?) ************** "A March study of historical rates by Menno Middeldorp, senior economist at Rabobank Nederland in Utrecht, the Netherlands, suggests that ultra-low interest rates are the norm, rather than the exception. 'U.K. interest rates were under 4 percent for almost 100 years before the early 1920s,'' he said. 'U.S. 10-year yields were below 4 percent for almost 80 years up to 1960.' Middeldorp points out that most bond-market participants haven't experienced low rates for long periods, which may skew expectations. 'It would be shortsighted to conclude that interest rates should move higher simply because one doesn't understand why they are below the average levels most people can remember,' he wrote." ---- Bloomberg, June 3, 2005 . What is more irritating...... the bilious sneers of Ken Fisher and Ken Tower from every financial web site in existence, or the table pounding by newly minted Bond Bulls calling for 2% by 2006? ************************** from this site - stephenvita.typepad.com
