As a holder of long-term government debt, I have three different questions in mind.
Click to enlarge.
1. When can we expect to break free from the long-term trend channel?
2. When can we expect ZIRP to permanently end?
3. Of all the things I could worry about in this economy, where should the risk of rising interest rates (and expense) rank on my list?
My answers of "not soon", "not soon", and "low" may differ from yours of course. I'll be much more worried when the majority agrees with my answers. And when do I expect that to happen? Not soon.
This is not investment advice.
