Hang in there all- there's no reason to believe the scare-tactic hype interest rates are going to go up, IMO, and that is supported today by a newsletter sent out by ZACK's "C - Interest Rates Remain Very Supportive: It is hard to categorize the interest rate environment as anything but supportive given the historically low levels of short- and long-term rates. The interest rate backdrop has remained favorable even in the face of a number of dark clouds. In addition to the end of the Fed's QE2 program, the market has had to contend with the debt-ceiling debate in the U.S. and the sovereign debt issue in Europe.
Even if we explain the current under-3% 10-year Treasury yield on the flight-to-safety trade in response to soft economic data, we see little sign of stress in the corporate credit markets. Bottom line, interest rates matter to investors and the current low interest rate environment is a major key positive for the stock market." Zacks.com
