Slower economy (Fed's intention) means slower earnings growth means earnings disappointments means lower stock prices.

True but little or no inflation due to rate hikes may mean higher multiples on equities as we have seen in the past. No one at this point knows how slow earnings will grow or if it will be a significant slowing of earnings. Further, it is possible that rates may start to decline within the next year which could fuel earnings once more.
