[QUOTE="Jon, post: 412294, member: 6747"] The Fed did what we all expected and held the overnight federal fund rate at 1.25%. Yes, this does discourage bond investiment but that is not necessarily bad news. Let me explain. The commitment to keep short term interest rates low will also stabilize long-term rates and calm our inflation expectations. These combine to lower nominal interest rates which is a real benefit to corporate and private borrowers. Heck, I just refinanced my mortgage at 5.75% with no points last month. The extra $700/month will go right back into the ecomony. Maybe some coil overs and headers for the Cobra. Back to my point, this greater liquidity should help boost gains in the stock market and stimulate further investment. Additionally, a weaker dollar will bring back competitiveness to many US multinationals as well as domestic manufacturers. However, I do believe the EBC will raise rates soon. Most indicators show [i]declining[/i] energy (oil) prices. That should further drive our recovery. World economic disaster? How do you figure? [/QUOTE]
