To me the trouble is that the FED and every branch of the government has been consistently trying to create wealth in one asset class at the expense of so many others. Interest rates are going to rise at some point in the future. Right now the FED has its mandate which is to make the stock market and dividend paying stocks in particular look inviting to investors by keeping rates low. What other alternatives do we have? The problem with raising rates is that then it becomes a question of are you getting a good enough return on your CD, treasury bond, or whatever, to keep up with inflation? And if rates are raised too quickly then what happens to an already questionable recovery? I don't have the answers. I just know I don't like the fact we have to ask these questions because we already know that what has been done thus far is not working well enough. RtS
