Hello IQBAL, just how long can the yield curve stay inverted and does this not put more pressure on the fed to lower interest rates over the next few months if the yield curve stays inverted? And yes, i do share concerns with our economy over the next 6 to 18 months. I have never seen the yield curve invert this way where long term rates moved below short term rates -- suggesting deflation. (Usually, the fed will increase rates to slow economic growth. )This happened in Japan about the time their stock market topped and Japan has lowered rates to almost zero since... do you think Japan has bottomed? I do think Japan plays a major roll in "what's good for Asia" right now. Also, on the major indexes we made new highs do you see a technical test back after this correction near term? Thank you Regards
