Why is now a great time to invest?

The Bank of England has cut interest rates to 2%, their lowest since 1951.

The inflation-adverse European Central Bank cut its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points, the largest cut in the monetary authority's 10-year history. That means the key lending cost in the 15 countries for which the ECB is the central bank now stands at 2.5 per cent.

The Swedish Riksbank also cut its key interest rate — by even more that the others — a record 1.75 percentage points to two per cent. This reduction is the bank's biggest cut since June 1994.

The Federal Reserve cut their rates to 1% at the end of Ocotber 2008.

Intrest rates are running at historical lows. If you have savings you are earning less in interest on your savings now than ever before.

The cost of borrowings has dropped.

Now is a great time to invest.

Teak prices are rising at 8.5%per year over the past 10 years. Land in Puntrenas rose by 31% in 2007. Will this combination outperform the rates you are getting on your deposits?
