"Your"?

Do you mean "you are"?

If you are incapable of getting the very basics right (1 + 1 = 2) then how can anyone give even a modicum of consideration / credulence to anything else you post? 

Interest rates, contrary to your assertion, have not been falling for 9 1/2  years. Where's your proof / facts to support that bull. It is just another toss out there comment and hope nobody questions your assertions.  Nice try but Catfact is as usual, wrong. 

Dividend growth stocks outperform regardless of your hopes. Interest rates down or up, same, they outperform.  CAPE Doesn't matter. In any and every scenario, dividend growth stocks outperform.

My income actually, not theoretically but actually, doubles on average every 5.5 years.  If interest rates rise, my income will rise even faster. 

How many people would be happy to see their incomes double every 5.5 safely?

Does yours? Doubtful. Why are you constantly gambling? Because the $ you've saved and 5% return won't pay your bills.
