Kendall: To alleviate a wee bit of worry consider this; capital is a commodity. When the demand for capital intensifies, it's cost (interest rates) rises. Like other and all commodities (stocks, pork-bellies) there are always supply-demand forces at work. The TREND, methinks, is the key. Currently the interest rate "trend" appears to be in a trading range...6%-6.25%. The fundamentals may force rates far higher...or lower. For traders, it's my sense that this is a minimal consideration unless we get a day when rates pop or drop sharply. Longer term investors/traders may well take what you point out into account. (Lee)
