John ; I don't think the rate hike is so much to fight inflation as it is to sell bonds. I think the market has factored in the hike , if it don't come the dollar goes to garbage. There is a paradox to the whole mess, but if the dollar goes to hell in a hand basket then you don't want to be in stocks. The bottom was put in LAST year and just recently at the same time the Dollar bottomed. Both draw downs started as the dollar fell and ended when it bottomed. The stock market is tied to the international value of our currency a lot more than they talk about. CNBC and such would have every one to focus only on interest rates, but like the tide , it's not just the moon that moves it, where the SUN is in respect to the earth/moon has as much to do with the tide as the moon. Jim PS BTW the moon is not our satellite, it is our sister planet, the earth moon relationship is not one that fits the physics a primary and satellite, the earth/moon is double planet system in orbit around a common barycenter. Picture interest rates tied to currency values, and then the stock market being moved as the tide, not by one but by both.
