re: When do interest rates rise

Raising our rates while the rest of the world is in negative rates will only continue to strengthen our dollar, which is not good for us.

That is definitely a possibility but I don't think that the Fed is waiting on the rest of the world to go back to positive interest rates before raising ours.

Abd where is this bubble you're referring to?

Well the market is at all time highs with labor participation and manufacturing dropping by the day. Housing prices are raising continuously as long as rates stay low. There is without a doubt in my mind a housing bubble going on in many parts of the country. Not to the extent of 2008 but I think its happening. Once rates go up, the less house someone can afford and will drag home prices lower.

This is only my simple minded opinion. There are plenty of people on this board smarter than me.
