Are You Ready for Rising Rates?
Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his band of central bankers signaled the market that the near zero cost of capital is going to continue for some time. However, what you have to remember is that the Fed doesn’t control the long end of the interest rate spectrum. Long-term interest rates, i.e., long-term […]
A Happy Holiday Stop-Loss Reminder
