Federal intrest rate and stock market

Anyone else pulling most of their money from stocks before the fed rate hike?
I'm slowly reducing my securities and will be out before the rates goes up. I'll be sitting on the sideline for a while.

I still have about 50 free trades in my brokerage account and want to go full cash.
I'm up on most of my stocks and my S&P ETF has been getting crushed. Pretty sure I'm going to pull out of it soon and see how things shake out.

No, but I have rebalanced my investment portfolio (I'm still trading the same wet dogs in another account though). I dumped the remainder of my airline shares over a month ago, lightened up on tech and moved more into financials. That's worked out very well, so far.
KEY has gobbled up Jimmy Yellen's rate hike threats like a fat kid gobbles up ice cream on a hot day - I believe it's up over 10% in the few months that I've had it. I don't own it, but even beleaguered BAC has had a nice run. Those companies whose profits are helped my rising rates like rising rates. I like regionals over money centers though.
In my 401k accounts, which consist mostly of mutual funds, I don't attempt major rebalancing unless I see something major on the horizon. Over time, in more conservative accounts, dollar cost averaging will generally be your friend. But I don't think I'd be trying to dollar cost average my way into REITs or bond funds right now though.

Nope. Market timing is bad. You have to be right twice; selling and buying back in. The biggest gains happen in a short amount of time.

You were too late. Everyone's been expecting a rate hike for over a year now.

I would be doing the same thing--However, can you really time the market?
Do you know how to trade and make money when the market goes down and up?
Have you ever used an asset that is not correlated to the stock market that would give you better growth?
