If dot-com technology was the story of the 90s, interest rate policy has been the story for the 2000s. Did Greenspan keep them too low for too long, contributing to the monstrous housing bubble? Did Bernanke wait too long to lower rates, not recognizing that a recession had already begun and that a credit collapse was looming? And will the current FOMC wait too long to raise rates to get ahead of inflationary pressures?

Here are 3 fantastic articles that relate heavily to interest rates and their effect on Dollar ETFs, Gold ETFs and inflation:
