If the renmenbi peg is removed, the bottom dollar drops out, but the chinese populace may feel so much wealthier that they actually begin to consume. Or, the populace continues to hoard and global velocity of money becomes a fraction of what it was.

However, in your analysis you neglect the tax consequences. The mortgage interest is tax deductible and he doesnt have to pay tax on the muni, so there's signifcant tax savings there--although probably still not enough to make this practical.]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:18:27 -0500

As for Black and Decker's dividend is a sure gonner. It's credit rating is flirting with being downgraded to BBB (one step away from junk). You know they're in trouble when the CEO says this quarter was "abysmal" and "our (bad) hedges virtually guarantee a loss for the next 3 quarters"...

fun times over at BDK.

(2) 4.5% is sustainable if the Fed Funds rate is 1% or lower. Welcome to Japan and ZIRP because its going to stay here for awhile.

(3) Very true, but eventually they're going to have to allow people to refinance. All of those door busting ARMs banks sold with the idea of raising rates later might just have to become fixed at the lower rate.

Keep investing in penny stocks FNM and FRE. They're akin to paying more taxes and the Govt is not above taking charitable donations.
