How long do u think low interest rate (in the US) will last?? Fed said will consider raising rate when inflation hits 2% or unemployment rate hits 6.5%

But what if the above never happens for another 5y, 7y, 10y?? Just look at Japan ...

Low interest rate, like the Death Star, is creating massive disturbance in The Force :beats-me-man:

And looks like interest rate is the lone factor after these CM.. Wait for banks to up spread to 2%. Sure many will die

Wahahahahah!!! Finally, the deathstar of all CMs has been released!!!!!

As for interest rate, DANG-Gu-Gu!!! US will only up interest rates once unemployment rate hits 6.5%, which is another 2-3% away.

a report by McKinley

We do not predict how much interest rates will increase, but we find that if they were to return to their average since the early 1970s, they would rise by about 150 basis points. And real long-term rates may start moving up within five years as investors start to price this long-term structural shift.
