Fed Rake Hikes

Most people assume that Fed rate hikes have little to do with their personal financial health.

But the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve over the next year will have dire implications for your retirement.

That's because higher interest rates on top of a huge ($20.5 trillion) and growing national debt means skyrocketing interest payments. Policy changes to cope with the crisis threaten both your Social Security and any personal retirement savings you may have.

Here's what's going on - and what you need to do to protect yourself...

fed balance sheet

The Fed balance sheet shows nearly $4.5 trillion in assets - from government bonds to mortgage-backed securities - the Fed bought as a way to stimulate the economy after the 2008 financial crisis.

How the Federal Reserve Will Destroy Capitalism

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

federal reserve

With few policy options remaining in the event of another fiscal crisis, the Federal Reserve is floating an idea that would spell the end of capitalism.

In an effort to stimulate the economy, the Fed will start buying stocks. Several other central banks are already doing it.

The Fed needs only the blessing of Congress to get started, practically a given.

This would be poison to the markets - but here's what investors can do to profit from it...

How to Profit When Yellen Raises Rates (Before Dec. 31)

By , America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades -

interest rate hike

When Janet Yellen said there was "no fixed timetable" for raising interest rates last week, the markets actually dipped.

It's anyone's guess as to why a market that owes most of its gains to the central bank's low interest rates would dip on news that low interest rates would continue.

It doesn't really matter.

Because I think a rate hike of some kind will be in effect by Dec. 31. They've been under 1% since 2008, and at least three of the FOMC's voting members oppose the decision to hold rates steady.

It's likely to be another token 25 basis points, and the rates might even go up just so they can go back down again, but that doesn't matter, either - I think traders have to prepare for a "rate hike event" and some choppy markets before the end of the quarter.

So the best thing we can do now is get into position to protect our money... and make a ton more of it.
