2021-11-22

by

(11/12/21) Investor complacency can be demonstrated by markets apparent lack of motivation despite rising rates and rising inflation, a condition that's not too surprising, given the Fed's more active intervention in the markets since 2000.

2021-11-17

by

(11/17/21) Does it matter to stocks when interest rates go up or down? Since 2000, stocks and bonds have been highly correlated.
