Call it a bubble or don’t call it a bubble, but when interest rates rise, lots of money taken out of stocks will send the market down. By a quarter, a third??? Who knows?

What's gonna happen to our massive US debt repayment when interest rates go up?

We could become Haiti overnight... they can't 'borrow their way out of debt' and we won't be able to either.

Try at least half.

The only reason the market is so high is because of low, all but negative, interest rates. Any sign or even signal of a rate change to the positive sends the DOW south like a duck in winter.
