On rate hikes, you might see more deposits go in rather than runs on the banks. The banks would also make more money on higher interest. bernanke chased everyone out of the banks by chopping up rates, IMO. Rate hikes could reverse the trend of money-out to money-in. Their money-out model is broken and they'll never get their money back, IMO. Squanderville is done for. Maybe rate hikes will hurt some banks....I don't know.
