Don't you wish you had known, just before the housing bubble burst, where to put your money to take advantage the mayhem that resulted when the bubble went "poof"?
I do. I know people made billions from it.
This got me thinking, "what's next"?
I hear A LOT of smart people saying that interest rates are going to rise dramatically in the next 1 - 2 years, due to the massive amount of money that's been printed and the need to tame inflation that will result from it.
Even without all the talk of printing money and inflation, with current federal reserve rates currently at 0 - 0.25% it seems to be to be a pretty sure bet that they can only go in one direction, as I don't think quantitative easing will ever involve having countries pay for the privilege of lending the US money.
So in my little brain, it seems that a long term leveraged way to benefit from a rise in federal reserve rate would be a pretty safe investment. The only real risk is when they will go up, not if.
Is there a flaw in my logic? ... please chime in.
And more importantly, if my logic is decent, what specific investments can be used to directly take advantage of a rise in fed rates, preferably with leverage?
