yes...and more than once

... and sooner than expected. Our bank economist is projecting at least 4 interest rate hikes in 2022 with a possibility of a fifth.

Our economy is about to go into the crapper. Higher interest rates are coming, time to shift assets from equities in the stock market to protect yourselves financially.

“Higher interest rates are coming, time to shift assets from equities in the stock market to protect yourselves financially.”

Not exactly.

Diversification is at work at all times. Investors have already adjusted their portfolios into stocks and other investments (real estate, energy, materials, collectibles etc. that do well under inflation. They’ve lowered their tech stock exposure for example because tech is what suffers most under higher rates.

I’m already adjusted and just waiting, watching and collecting dividends now. Having been through much higher inflation this is nothing new to us old folks.

Within 3 years the FED and the markets will be more worried about deflation than inflation.

I’m trying to figure out how to do that. Any ideas?
