If due to this fact in a despair we find the long-term fee of interest remaining relatively inflexible this indicates that, rightly or wrongly, the capital market believes in the continued existence of investment opportunities yielding marginal profit at the former stage, investment opportunities which the despair could have obscured but which it has not obliterated.
It is indeed fairly obvious that in a dynamic economic system with fast technical progress and extensive and frequent earnings fluctuations all expectations primarily based on the prevalence of long-run developments should be of a somewhat problematical character, but to our present downside this is strictly irrelevant.
