re: Federal intrest rate and stock market

Guys, this is a topic I am obsessed with right now.
I can't find a single credible source that believes anything other than "everything is all rosy" in the stock market.
That is usually an indication to sell. I know timing the market is next to impossible but thie market is at an all time high with astronomical debt levels in this country (including the government).
The amount that I currently have in the stock market is more than I ever imagined I would have. What would be so bad about taking the profits now and holding it out a few years and see what happens (as long as I do not care if I miss out on an ongoing positive run in the market)??

The fact that "time in the market" is more important than "timing the market"
When stock values fall, and those companies keep paying you the same dividends, you are getting more shares than you were when the market was up. Guess what happens when the values come back up?

Perhaps on a price basis, but certainly not on a valuation basis.

What are you referring to? If anything, the debt situation is much better than it was in 2007. Companies are flush with cash. And even the crappier companies have termed out cheap financing for years, so they actually do have some ability to weather a storm.

To the OP: Why leave the market entirely? Why not buy into financials?
If rates rise, the economy is growing, people are spending money/using more credit and banks are earning larger spreads.
