RE:RE:Market Pricing in Dividend Cut to CPG...?Bandit 69 1. USD strength, not weakness like 2009 The only reason USD is strengthening because all other countries around world are doing their own form of QE ( lowering interest rates or printing still ). Investors are flocking to USD because the alternative currencies are far less appealing. Once other countries start to grow their economies and it will happen you can bet your as* USD gonna get crushed 2. end of Quantitative easing and easy monetary policies, hence a stronger dollar which carries an inverse relationship to the price of oil Yes they ended QE in US but maybe try looking outside North America before making statement like that. QE running rampant outside NA at the moment 4. FED will increase interest rates this year. watch the bond market....do you see what is happening there? its where the world starts and stops. Yields are rising in the bond market for a reason, divi payers become less attractive. Your funniest statement so far "FED will increase interest rates this year " LOL HAHAHAH what a joke , US 10 Year bond yields are near their 5 YEAR LOWS , Go take a look at charts first before throwing out statements, they have not even broken above their January highs yet lol yields are gonna remain where they are this year you can be well assured of that As long as rates remain ultra low investors cannot earn a decent return in bond markets so they turn to companies such as CPG for yield
