Behold the power of the prophecy.<br /><br />I have been buying long-term bonds since 2000 and have yet to read a mainstream news article telling us how to prepare for falling interest rates. As a saver using the power of hindsight, that is nearly infinitely amusing to me. The biggest threat to savers over the long-term is falling rates, not rising ones. So why is/was that risk rarely mentioned?<br /><br />When wiill it change? At some point no doubt, perhaps even in my lifetime. Just can't count on it, any more than I would count on a horoscope.<br /><br />War and rumors of war on savers will continue until morale improves, which could be just short of never, in theory. There's certainly ample money trying to earn interest. Perhaps too much.Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-68739308871408480992015-02-25T20:56:39.476-08:002015-02-25T20:56:39.476-08:00Luke The Debtor,
