That's not true, Amy. The Fed's rates decreased from '90 to '93, then they increased from '94-'95, then came down just a tad throuh '98 and then increased a lot from '99 to '00.
Here's the history:

The other thing to think about is that even though rates are rising, they are at historical lows. Many economists will tell you that rates below 4% are stimulative. So we have been stimulative for 3.5 years now and continue to be.

When taken with all the other macro statistics, like consumer spending, manufacturing spending, money supply growth, deficit spending (which is ST stimulative), and a synchronized global recovery, we have all the elements for a good mini-boom in the next few years.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see 10%+ growth in the stock market over the next few years.
