Fed Policy Could Hurt Income Investors
Well, it happened: Ben Bernanke announced recently that the Fed was finally kicking off QE3, sparking a monthly buying spree of $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities that's expected to go on until further notice. That open-ended timeline means that Ben's going to be racking up a huge bill. If you're an income investor though, you should be sweating. After all, this latest round of quantitative easing is going to fuel inflation until the tap gets turned off, and it's taking place at the same time that Bernanke has promised extraordinarily low interest rates to remain par for the course.
