Old saying in the market ---- "when interest rates rise -- the stock market dies".



Is it a zero sum game -- NO!


Does it happen over night -- NO!


When rates rise -- some money flows out of the stock market and into the new higher rate "whatevers" that compete for the world's money this week. It's been happening since the first market opened a gazillion years ago.
