"Bond rates are way down because the Feds are keeping interest rates close to zero" Not true. If no one was buying at these levels, rates would rise. Don't you understand how the markets work? "Gold is still at a record high. Much of that is due to speculation, but without the fears of inflation, such speculation wouldn't exist." Which happens. It is due for a crash. It is almost pure speculation at this time. Even gold bugs aren't sure why it is as high as it is. "Lot of talk about uncertainty in the market place" Lots of talk, no measurable effect. The problem is lack of consumer demand, just ask the business people. That is what they all say.
