"With such puny yields on offer in most parts of the capital markets, an investor has two choices: First, accept the fact that we are in a low-yield environment. This is hard for most investors to do. They are beholden to a predetermined return hurdle or are slaves to the persistent memory of recent experience. Second, seek out investments that have a greater propensity for capital gains or higher yields in order to increase total return."
