Investment Help

If you are seeking investment help, look at the video here on my services. If you are seeking a different approach to managing your assets, you have landed at the right spot. I am a fee-only advisor registered in the State of Maryland, charge less than half the going rate for investment management, and seek to teach individuals how to manage their own assets using low-cost indexed exchange traded funds. Please call or email me if interested in further details. My website is at http://www.rwinvestmentstrategies.com. If you are new to investing, take a look at the "DIY Investor Newbie" posts here by typing "newbie" in the search box above to the left. These take you through the basics of what you need to know in getting started on doing your own investing.

Why Are Interest Rates So Low? (Part 3)

The last two posts have looked at how a trade imbalance gets worked out in a freely floating exchange rate environment as explained by Sal Khan.  Today's 10-minute video,  "Currency Effect on Trade Review" brings it all together and shows how the quantity demanded for dolls and cola adjust, along with prices, to result in balanced trade.

This sets the stage for what is happening in the real world with China controlling its currency and the role of U.S. Treasuries, which will be taken up next.

    I seriously wish more people would watch these videos. Best financial education you can get and best of all, it is free.

    Another timely reminder that no real problems are identified or rectified with this superficial response.
