“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 believe the deflationary monster is going to hit a lot sooner than 3 years. If so, then the investments you mentioned for the short term aren't going to perform well.
