This is quite possibly one of the best investment pieces I’ve read all year.  It is short, well argued, yet simple to read.  I’ll give you the punch line here, but this is must read for anyone who comes across this site.

“The Fed is trying to reflate the U.S. economy. The process of reflation involves lowering short-term rates to such a painful level that investors are forced or enticed to term out their short-term cash into higher-risk bonds or stocks. Once your cash has recapitalized and revitalized corporate America and homeowners, well, then the Fed will start to be concerned about inflation – not until.”
