| thebkr777 | Anyone can explain more? I'm getting confused somehow |
| akirchner1 | I'll give this a try...The CFA book states that the risk free rate is positively correlated with real GDP growth. So if you have extra money on hand and you consume it on goods, you don't have that money to invest in the risk free rate. If anyone else has a better explanation, feel free to comment. |
| jjenkins7 | As GDP grows, people spend more. As GDP decreases, people save more. |
| tkn07 | If economy is expected to do well, people are less worried about future so they will save less and consume more. |
You have a wonderful website and definitely should take some credit for your members' outstanding grades.
