For months, the financial media have been focused on the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will soon start the process of raising interest rates.
The expectation of rate increases is one reason the stock and bond markets have been in a funk lately. It hasn't helped that so many commentators have been hyperventilating over the subject.
Times like these are when it's especially important for investors to use their head, not their gut, in making decisions. That means keeping your money in the market and looking for opportunities. There's always money to be made, whether interest rates are going up or down.
