US Fed Funds Rate Cut to 1%, US 10 Year Bond Yields 1%

Today US Fed Funds Rate was Cut to 1% after a reduction of 0.5% to counter impact of Corona Virus on the economy.

US 10 Year Bond Yield also dipped below 1% for the first time in history. It is looking like US 10 year bond rate may keep going down to yield 0% like Euro and Japan. 

In this environment stocks which can produce 6-8% return over the long term look attractive with earnings yield spread of equities over bonds being +5%. Avoiding companies with exposure to travel and buying well capitalized companies with long term growth runway and competitive advantages is the way to go.
