Stocks, Bonds, and Interests Rates…Oh My!
![FS October](https://www.bcorkern.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/FS-October.png)
“We’ve enjoyed these low interest rates and that just encourages growth in stocks and growth in the economy. Bonds haven’t served us well because we haven’t been getting a good yield and as interest rates go up, the price of bonds go down. So, It’s been very, very difficult to be a bond investor for the last 15 years. But, welcome back bond market. When we see Treasury yields at 4.5, 4.6. 4.7 % – that’s very normal. So, the 10-year Treasury isn’t high, it’s normal. And the stock market is just getting acclimated to that and so should we.”
