<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gilbert, post: 8084617, member: 73104&quot;]The run up in stocks, real estate and other assets is a direct result of our central bank artificially depressing interest rates.&nbsp; Another consequence of their actions is inflation in the things we buy, so they are being forced to taper asset purchases and are threatening to raise interest rates.&nbsp; Will they follow through?&nbsp; My guess is no.&nbsp; The last time they tried this the markets tanked.&nbsp; People feel like they are geniuses because the value of their assets has increased exponentially, but the downside is a generation that can not afford to buy a house, or if they can, they become major debt slaves.&nbsp; Give me the days when a savings account paid interest above the rate of inflation and I will forgo the increase in the value of my assets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
