When it Comes to Interest Rates, Who Says What Comes Down Must Go Up?
by Zachary Karabell of Envestnet, 9/26/14
We are, at long last, nearing the end of one of the great central banking experiments: the U.S. Federal Reserves policy of quantitative easing, which began in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008-2009.

The economic environment in the third quarter was one of growth, albeit at a slower pace than most economists, and the Federal Reserve (?Fed?), believe can be self-?sustaining. The slow but steady gains the economy made were enough to buoy the stock market, but likely only because the Fed has seen it necessary to maintain its aggressive monetary policy. While employment gains were anemic during the quarter, the unemployment rate actually declined to 7.3%, largely due to a contraction in the labor force.
