- Harrisonburg, VA - October 10, 2008 - GOOD WEALTH MANAGEMENT, an Independent Financial Advisory Practice, released today its 2008 - Third Quarter Commentary. The report shows Good Wealth Management’s view of the current as well as the future economic environment:

• Inflation. The massive deleveraging occurring in the credit markets is deflationary.
• Interest rates. In the short term, expect interest rates on US treasuries to decrease as inflation disappears and the flight to quality continues. (Longer term, massive government borrowing should push rates up sharply when the economy recovers.)
• Oil. Merrill Lynch just predicted the price of a barrel of oil will decline to $50. Our expectation is for
