The current stock market rise is on top of Obama’s “hot air.” The RATs have been propping up the stock market for eight years. At some point, the real stock market numbers will have to emerge.

IMO, one of the big reasons for the stock market rise in the past 5-6 years has been because of non existent interest rates. Investors have no other place to really put their money other than the stock market. As interest rates rise, some investors might flee the market and go into bonds/precious medals/CD's etc... but I think it will be off-set by an economy taking off. If you have emerging market funds, scrap that, go with U.S. small and large cap funds IMO!!!
