GST, But none of this argument is new or any different from last summer's. For a long time now USA has a budget and trade deficit financed by foreigners; the budget deficit is gone now thus resulting in less, not more, demand for treasuries. A stronger dollar will probably re-inforce this phenomenon, thus negative savings rates - which, BTW, do not include investments at an individual level but do at a macro level and hence are somewhat misleading - are likely to have relatively lesser adverse effects if rates go up. Finally, given that present consumption goes up in inflationary times (in anticipation of higher future prices) growth stocks should not be hard to find if indeed inflation is the future. Hence I wonder what greener pastures you have in mind!? -BGR.
