Editor's Notes
Welcome to the Archer Investment Corporation Investment Education Workshop.
Three stamps still performed the same activity from 1968 to 2007. The services received by purchasing a stamp did not change. It was the value of the dollar. We can not overlook the importance of inflation. It gives us a guideline of the purchasing power of services or products.
This is one of the most telling charts I study with some regularity. It shows us where bond yields are in relation to the market. If you were to go back even further you would see that bonds have pretty much run their course and over the near term beginning in 2008, I think we can see bond yields start to increase. There is a principle called reversion to the mean. If you take a look at the pressure of prices and how the world economy continues to grow, we can expect the treasury bonds outside of 2007 to begin to retreat to the mean and potentially higher. For the rest of 2007, I do think the economy will continue to slow and we will be able to make money from bonds for a short period of time. I think the 10 year T will retreat closer to 4.1% as individuals get pushed out be the professional traders and then yields will continue to climb for a few years.
