“The economic outlook has strengthened in recent months,” the Fed said in its statement Wednesday. The Fed's policy committee still met despite the snow that shut down most of Washington and the decision to raise rates was unanimous.

"“Recessions typically start when central banks, eager to keep economies in check, raise interest rates too far and too fast. On cue, America’s Federal Reserve will probably raise rates three times in 2018 after three increases in 2017. The Fed will also begin unwinding the enormous pile of assets it acquired during the slump. Although the Fed has promised to move carefully, higher American interest rates are the canary in the coal mine of the global economy. They foretell an end to credit cycles as indebted companies and consumers default in greater numbers, and they presage big capital outflows from emerging markets. Higher interest rates can also produce big corrections in stock markets; one index of global equity prices doubled between 2010 and 2017. To many it may feel as if 2018 is just the beginning of the real recovery. In fact, it may be approaching the end.”"

"Toys “R” Us sold the bonds in October 2016, less than a year before it filed for bankruptcy. The largest portion of the offering received AAA ratings from S&P Global Ratings and Morningstar Credit Ratings. The $63 million Class F piece of the deal, which would be the first to take losses, had junk ratings." i see the similar pattern when the rating agencies where giving out outrageous ratings to the junk MBS back then. I think there is a big correction on the horizon.

Well good luck. I only shared these news as I had subscribed to the facebook page of the source of the link provided here. Not good with macro analysis otherwise... But it looks like the article that says rising interest rates creates market correction appears to be true now...since market has been crashing after the interest rates hike news.....More to come next week perhaps. I did buy 5 SPY puts and it quickly doubled and was happy enough to get out...but now it looks like those puts would be worth few more times.....

Cash is good to keep...may be for another week or more...and buy your favorite stocks later..
