The Fed is at zero and will hold it there for awhile. Banks may borrow at 0% and purchase Treasuries that yield 2%+, thus earning an easy (and relatively risk-free) profit.
Additionally, I expect hedge funds (those that are left) will borrow in $'s and invest those funds in higher yielding instruments and currencies, much the same way the Yen has been used for the past decade.
Is there a way for the retail investor to synthetically create this cushy situation for themselves?
