When Rates Go Up, Do Stocks Go Down?
After a rocky few weeks, stock prices have settled down; HOWEVER, you can always count on the media to raise some new crisis to get investors riled up.
I am quite confident that sometime in the next few months you will hear one of the talking heads on one of the cable networks opine that the stock market is at risk due to the potential for interest rates to rise.
That sure sounds like a GREAT story and something that you should be worried about. However, there is no statistical evidence to suggest that these two things are in any way, shape or form correlated!
