Rates are expected to stay higher for longer, an idea Fed officials have tried to get the market to accept and which investors are only now beginning to absorb.

Getting used to a more typical rate structure doesn't sound like such a terrible thing. But after 15 years of living in an unnaturally low rate regime, normal sounds, well, abnormal.

Wake me up when dead beat China finally starts making payments on old American owned Chinese treasuries that they haven’t paid own since they became communist. With interest the total is about $1.6 trillion owed to the heirs of the American citizen bond holders.

I’m holding off winning until it gets big enough. It’s only 1.4 billion at this point. I could do some damage with that much, true. But I have BIG plans.

The bond rout is worse than the one seen in 1981 when the 10-year yield neared 16%.

Leave it to Biden to out do Jimma Carter.

If the Federal Government does not cut spending, inflation will remain with us. I might add that perhaps there is no point raising the Prime Rate. Inflation pressure is coming from government spending and not the overall economy.

Exactly. Sounds good but inflation will nibble away. A savings account investor may break even, not going to become prosperous.
A mix of stocks & bonds worked for years but bonds were not worthwhile for some years. As interest rates rise they may again be part of a prudent mix.

IMHO The FED is criminal to raise rates during a Biden economy. In a Trump economy people had better income, cheaper gas & goods. The trick was to grow the economy and start paying down debt as interest rates very slowly rose to historic norms.

What does the Fed care that they are crashing America’s economy and her position in the world and skyrocketing interest on the debt. FEDS are empty between the ears, devoid of common sense, operating on faulty principles applied in a one size fits all fashion.

Your short list of “good” companies running ahead of inflation over the next two years?
