Dear Reader,  The interest rate hike is not a death sentence for the stock market.  In fact, historically, rising interest rates have been good for stocks. ItâÂÂs a sign of bullishness, not bearishness.  I know that may be hard to believe for some⦠ But look at the data:  Going back to 1989, the average return of the S&P 500 during a rate hike is 62.9%.  The Nasdaq is up an average of 102% during a period of rising interest rates.  You see, itâÂÂs important to understand:  Rising rates donâÂÂt hurt the stock market⦠ High rates do.  And right now, we have historically low interest rates. One rate hike, or even 10 quarter-point rate hikes isnâÂÂt going to change that.  In fact, the Federal Reserve is raising rates because the market is strong â and ready to stand on its own two feet without artificial help.  We are in a bull market with a long way to run.  In this video, IâÂÂll tell you more about a small set of unknown stocks I think are going to thrive as interest rates rise.  IâÂÂll also tell you about 14 currently popular stocks I think you should sell or avoid.  Click here to watch the full interview for free â no paywall.  Regards,  Joel Litman Founder, Altimetry Research    |
