In the current interest rate environment, bonds are a poor investment.
Interest rates cannot fall any farther than they are now in real terms. On the other hand, if interest rates rise, the price will fall to the floor. All the risk without the reward.
But there are a handful of stocks out there that are good plays if interest rates go up. And the one we're going to talk about today might be the sneakiest interest rate play out there.
Stock Market Alert: Move Your Cash Before January 1st

It happened with almost no mainstream media coverage…
But the U.S. stock market just reached a critical tipping point.
Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have already seen it coming – and quietly changed their outlook for the new year.
But one veteran market analyst is stepping forward to make sure regular Americans know the truth.
Comfort Systems (FIX) is an air conditioning and ventilation company established in the United States.
While this isn't the most obvious way to profit from increased interest rates, it does gain indirectly from their impact on the real estate market.
How? Let me explain…
Rising mortgage rates often price out potential buyers. As a result, many people will seek rental housing and apartments. As more people rent, property owners will be required to guarantee that their air conditioning and other HVAC systems meet industry requirements.
On the other hand, increased interest rates might have the opposite effect on housing prices. When interest rates are excessively low, it causes a supply shortage in the market, raising housing prices and discouraging homebuyers from making a purchase.
When interest rates rise, sellers may reduce the price of their properties to tempt buyers who would otherwise be hesitant to buy because of the higher rates. As a result, it may enhance the possibility that people will buy homes and make investments in things like HVAC systems to assure comfort and increase the property's total worth.
Regardless of market direction, business and residential properties will always rely on HVAC providers, implying that FIX might be a good bet in either scenario.

Jeff Clark just revealed his “3-Stock Retirement Blueprint”
And no, one of them isn't FIX…
He was able to retire at 42…
And today, he continues to use a unique trading strategy to make tens of thousands of dollars every year.
As a result, he lives in this big, beautiful house overlooking Silicon Valley.
And he gets to live life on his own terms.
He can lounge around his pool all day.
He can take his family on a two-week trip to Italy.
And most importantly, he has all the cash he needs. (He gets paid more than 50 times each year.)
So what’s his secret?
He calls it The 3-Stock Retirement Blueprint.
In short: It’s a way to play just 3 stocks — yes, just 3 — and potentially retire richer than you would by trading all the rest of them…
Or by using any type of “buy and hold” strategy.
Now, I know this probably seems too good to be true.
Reckless, even…
But Jeff’s been using this strategy for years.
Of all the different trading methods he’s seen in his career, it’s the one he uses with his own money.
Now, for years, Jeff has kept this strategy close to the vest.
But as part of a one-time-only deal, he’s sharing the details…
And he’s even giving you the chance to access a year’s worth of research and trade recommendations for just 99 cents. (Yes… just 99 cents!)
The only catch?
You’ll have to hurry. This deal is only available for a very limited time.
