Barry Ritholtz: Rising Rates Unlikely To Kill This Bull Market
FYI: One of the oldest rules on Wall Street is, don’t fight the Fed. When the Federal Reserve is cutting rates, you want to be long equities, and when it is tightening, get out of the way. This has been a cause for concern since the Fed began talking of tapering its program of quantitative easing and ending its zero interest-rate policy.

Only 6 views, but an excellent article. "Don't fight the Fed" is a Wall Street maxim. Ritholtz opines that it does not mean that the bull market will be hurt when the Fed raises interest rates
This is new territory for both sides. What if the Fed raises rates very slowly, almost microscopic? Would the markets respond as they have in the past?
This is something I have been pondering. Very tiny raises in the rates.
