Now it's the hedge funds. They were prime beneficiaries of an re-inflationary Fed. Their access to a near endless source of virtually interest free funds has made their business model a near certain winner. Now with interest rates on the rise, hedge funds are closing up shop all over. And what about those interest rates? Looks like December will either be the last rate hike or perhaps it won't happen at all, which could be a windfall to precious metals and miners. We'll just have to see what's next.
