RE:RE:RE:Is It time ?Mr Banana, or idiot on steroids where did you learn your Economics? In the international House of pancakes? Do you know why recessions occur, or caused by the Fed to occur? To tame inflation, fool if everything else has failed. They do that by raising interest rates. Interest rates make investing costly and share holders bail out of stocks thus stocks go down. In this case money is parked in bonds not that much profit will be made but at least no money will be lost. But if demand for long term bonds goes up, the yield on those bonds gets lower than the short bonds. In this case the 30-year bond's curve that slopes normally upwards, reverts downwards and forms what we call an"inverted yield curve" which is a sign of things to come i,e., a recession. What do you not understand, Mr idiot? But I do not know why I am wasting my time to educate idiots.
