Why Interest Rates Cannot Rise; The Stock Market Has Become A Lagging Indicator

In October 1987 investors were buying stocks when they were 25% overvalued, very much were they are today. They then bought them at even more overvalued prices in 2007.

"The stock market has become a lagging indicator. Tear up the textbooks, says Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in his new article Sunday.

Interest rates cannot rise.
