RE: What Goes Down Must Come Up. Economic Cycles Repeat. Learn This, & Why... and Remain Healthy Emotionally, Financially and Spiritually.

The chart ends at 2015 but it does not matter, just extend it out to 2018, because it has not changed on the flattening out of basically 0% rates driving things, unsustainably.

Not so much now. The 0% policy is being unwound. As I write, 12-month Treasuries are up to 2% and the 3-months are above 1.6%. The 10-year is just below 3%.

Thereabove is cause to worry. What happens if rates keep climbing?

You are right

In my mind, I keep realizing after all this time, rates just started to climb.

I guess the last 6 mths has really noticed a consistent slow climb and I have been so used to them being nearly 0% rates.

Thanks.

Edit and corrected just now.
