qcoman, >>If anything, we will profit greatly if the rates finally do tick up, but we aren't expecting much<< Deflation is still a concern.... IMO the price of gold is telling us just that.... Interest rates aren't going substantially higher any time soon... 6% mortgages is still a great price.... 2% Fed funds rate is still accommodating... Get ready for a sustained $50.00 a barrel of oil.... Price increases in basic costs of living like fuel, healthcare, etc., will put a blanket on any economic growth. The imbalance problems of the last 2 years will continue and any serious shock will deepen the recession.... And roll the stock markets. IMO... Into 2005 there will remain a sense of confusion and uncertainty... while the imbalances of the last 2 years are straightened out. Confusion about the economy and its direction will keep traders bouncing in and out of positions... Uncertainty about a "mess-other-stuff" will make trading a Lot'ta Fun. No Crash and very few problems adapting to a cycle of modest incremental rate increases.
