RE:RE:RE:The fedI dont think anyone can accuratly predict interest rates or inflation. Inflation in my view likely has peaked already and is coming down. I know in Volker rasied rates to 20% but rates were averaging 11%. by percentage change he didnt even doulbe them, not like were seeing today. There are too many differences between the 70's/80's high inflation to compare them to today. If the centeral reserves overtighten at the same time supply chain disruptions ease we could see a crashing in inflation that could lead to deflation issues. I dont think we will see even average rates for a long time, Goverments, businesses, and personal debt is too high, they will chicken out before raising rates too high. But at the end of the day no one knows whats going to happen. My parents also bough a house in Calgary and took a big loss on it around the same year. Also south Calgary, small world. At the end of the day no one can predict Macro Economics which is why you have to follow Warren Buffets advice and buy wonderful businesses - like International Zeolite!!!!!
