We are going to be SO screwed when interest rates tick up.

Not me. I pulled out of the market and have all my stash in fixed income. I want higher interest rates. The sooner, the better.

If you hold bonds, your stash will decline in value if rates rise.

Oh, don’t worry . You will get higher rates. Remember in the seventies when you could get CD’s at 10% plus. My first mortgages was at 15.5% when I sold my home because it had an assumable mortgage. 15.5% was a deal then.

You will get what you wish for.

Except gas will be six bucks a gallon and food will be 25-30% higher than it is now. It’s all relative.
