What are the Fundamentals? Revenue, earnings, prospects for growth. Not technical investing from stock charts. After many years of investing, I've learned that the best way to invest is to follow and evaluate the fundamentals. This stock market blog reflects my latest thinking. I've been an investor and speculator for many years, starting way back in the 1960s when I was a runner on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Bloomberg: Fed to Shrink Assets Next Month, Boost Rates by Year End
What does this imply for investors? Raising rates mean raising mortgage rates, too. Homeowners with fixed rate mortgages will be OK, but those with variable rate mortgages, and new home buyers, will not be OK. The only reason people of ordinary means can afford to buy a home now is because of the very low interest rates. There will be fewer home buyers and some of the variable raters will have to sell. So I foresee an end to the real estate boom currently going on.
