Bill Gross, who runs the world’s biggest bond fund at Pacific Investment Management Co., said investors may be at a disadvantage for as long as 15 years as the U.S. keeps borrowing rates low to reduce its debt burden. “Savers are being disadvantaged” when compared with debtors, Gross said during an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Surveillance Midday” with Tom Keene. “What policy makers are trying to do is rebalance this imbalance, in terms of too much debt and too attractive rates on savings.

i think it goes back to that point you made in like one sentence that took me two post to almost but not quite formulate. finacial sector is not actually doing well at all, it's all a big magic trick. not let's all take a forget-me-now and pretend we don't know and/or understand this.
