Short term interest rates are set by the Fed. No one, not even the Fed and certainly not the vigilantes, whoever they are, can do much about longer term rates. We have increased money supply and public debt tremendously. This will cause interest rates to go up. And they are going up. They'll go up higher, killing off this stimulus-driven recovery. Short term rates are near zero, so we can't look to the Fed to ratchet them down to stimulate. Only another dose of stimulus from the Government can keep the recovery afloat, but at a high cost. Plus, the government idiotically stimulates via programs like cash for clunkers...ugh. Stock market is on crack, way overbought. It will run out of drugs when rates go up, crash or go down substantially. Does anyone look at fundamentals anymore? I don't know about the timing, but a near SHTF moment is coming. Y'all probably thought I was some kind of kook when I wrote this in 2005. Message 21528711 Message 21530819
