If what ML says is true then what is astounding? 4.75%-30 yr long bond? which would mean a 20% increase in bond price! Leverage the long bonds at 10:1 and your return could be 200%. What are we doing in stocks? Very interesting post! Thank you. But do you notice the credit cards are still based on a prime of 8.5% or something like that. Maybe the bank stocks are the place to go. I mean if the long bond goes to 4.75% the Fed Funds rate will go lower and the banks will reap a windfall until the consumer catches wise. It seems to me with all the dropping in interest rates the banks haven't shall we say participated in the reduction vis a vis the consumer. What are we doing over herre in wireless land?
