Interest rates have the capability of our economy are affected, can not be overestimated. Understand how the interest rates on activity will help you learn how your portfolio to achieve growth structure, while minimizing the risks. Learn more here.

Would you wear a winter parka on a Florida beach in the summer? Of course not. I doubt that any of us would wear a bikini for ice fishing in winter in Minnesota. I know I have!

The clothing isa tool which is used to help regulate our body temperature. They protect us from the cold or keep us from overheating. Proper use, determines our comfort from one season to the next. We want our body temperature does not vary significantly from top to bottom.

It's the same when it comes to investing, too. Unfortunately, many do not know the value of the seasons, and thus not the second hand clothes in their portfolio address. How many have in 1997-2000 and 2000-2002, seeInvestment work clothes in a season are near useless in another.

There are cycles of the economy. There are seasons when the economy grows, the other when it contracts. There are (at times also called high and low), as in the Spring and Autumn period of transition from one cycle to another major.

Interest rates are the key to determine where we are in this cycle. The Federal Reserve is the rate it charges on overnight loans to banks (Fed FundsRate) as the accelerator or the brake on the economy.

It may seem strange that small changes in the overnight rate banks pay to can have an impact on the global economy. Banks give more money they deposit. Money "extra" comes from the inter-bank loans and is considered the Fed funds designated market. It goes without saying that if a bank pays more that the borrowing, the more of what is earned.

The Fed controls the federal funds rate, to spend the moneyInternational bank lending market, or by mail. Just as supply and demand drives the price of a stock rise or fall, so the interest rate on the federal bill. Put the money or money from the Federal Reserve is able to artificially control the balance between supply and demand.

The interest rates applicable to all sectors of our economy. If you need a higher interest rate you pay your mortgage your monthly payment will be higher. Since it can not afford tospend so much in the month that relates to the payment of the interest rate of home you can afford.

Businesses also borrow more money to the expansion, the coverage of stock and cash flow finance smoothing. As an owner, a limited number of payments may afford to have every month. The amount of impact on whether they can build additional plants, borrow to stop buying from multiple computers or additional staff.

Different industries have also in various parts of the business cycle. TheConstruction industry will be better in times of low interest rates, low interest rates are designed to stimulate growth. When people and businesses can borrow at favorable interest rates that the new houses, skyscrapers, and factories will be built.

Similarly, each of us tend to buy the same amount of toothpaste and toilet paper, no matter where interest rates. Companies, the basic elements that not much change in demand for their products, a construction companycould.

Investments may as cyclical or not cyclical, as they are affected by changes in the economic cycle are categorized. The share of each portfolio is a significant impact on the overall volatility. I recommend a portfolio of high quality non-cyclical businesses. It is therefore possible to introduce cyclical companies, like the seasons in order to add additional growth to change. Be sure to adjust the values, such as the cyclical change of seasons.

Economic cycles are not just for the camp. Theydetermine whether there have a good time to bond, and the obligations are both. In recent years, the interest rates at historically low levels. Do not block the low of 30 years. When interest rates are higher than historical standards, is when you want to extend runtimes.

Think of your investment portfolio as a living entity. Recognizing that investments are made, it will be your comfort, which determine the change of seasons economy. Thiscorrectly will increase your efficiency by the risks. Take advantage of economic cycles. Do not let them abuse you.
