“It is a certainty that Bernanke will keep rates lower than people expect, for longer than people expect…”
I wrote that in 2009 in my True Wealth newsletter…
The important insight for investors back then was that stocks could soar… As long as I was right about interest rates staying low longer than anyone expected, I knew stocks could “go higher than you can possibly imagine.”
[ad#Google Adsense 336×280-IA]I wrote that Bernanke keeping interest rates at zero would give us “all the fuel for a silly bubble in stocks again.”
It’s happening… Stocks are now at multiyear highs. The great part is, you haven’t missed a thing yet…
Today’s investing script is actually the same script we’ve been using for years, simply updated to continue out to 2015 and beyond…
Our script all along has been for us to enter what I call the Bernanke Asset Bubble. (And my friend, we are in it now, with much bigger gains to come.)
The basic idea is that Bernanke will keep interest rates lower than anyone can imagine, for longer than anyone can imagine… and that will cause asset prices to soar. That includes stocks… as well as real estate and precious metals.
Now (according to Bloomberg news), it looks like Bernanke will keep interest rates at zero until mid-2015.
Once again, we will stick with our original script: Interest rates in the U.S. could stay near zero for much longer than that… causing asset bubbles.
Bernanke won’t mind if stock prices or real estate prices soar. Heck, he welcomes the day that happens. He’s trying to make that happen. If stocks and real estate prices soar, people won’t feel broke, and that will get the economy going again.
Keeping rates at zero for many years will simply force savers out of their savings (which are earning near zero percent) and into the stock market.
My advice is to beat ’em to it…
Get yourself invested in stocks now. It’s not even that important how you do it… a simple, broad stock market fund will do the job. It’s just important that you do it…
Residential real estate is an even better deal than stocks… Homes are dirt-cheap right now, and the tax situation is much more favorable in your primary residence than in stocks.
The Bernanke Asset Bubble is in full swing. Residential real estate prices have a “free pass” to soar for the next three years (as rates will stay low through mid-2015). And stocks should soar, too.
So don’t sit on your hands. Get on board…
Good investing,
Steve
