I see a lot of talk lately how if the Federal Reserve needs to get the "Federal Funds Effective Rate" to a "not artificially 0-2% low" (like we've had for a while due to various forms of quantitative easing) that stock returns of typical "6% after inflation" with dividends reinvested aren't as likely.

Any thoughts?
