Fed Chairwoman Yellen says interest-rate hike in March is likely 'appropriate'. This might turn out as a headwind for the markets.

Be weary, especially since we're in the period of excessively low volatility. This brings the risk of some unpleasant spikes.

It seems we're in the hype. A frenzy of sorts. You can make a lot of money in times like this, or lose a fortune when the frenzy stops.

This next move is being ignited by soaring GDP growth and other great economic indicators. It will also be boosted by the expectation that President Trump's tax cuts will be rolled out soon. I fully expect the S&P 500 to obliterate its current all-time high, climbing to 2600 and probably far above.

Yellen spoke on Friday making a rate hike on March 15th a near certainty.

As rates go up, bond values will go down. The more losses mount in bond funds, the more investors will rotate money out of bonds. A likely destination for much of that money will be the stock market. That will be a nice catalyst to add to the strong economic catalysts already in hand.

Goldman Sachs expect index S&P 500 to close around 2.300 points (around the current value). All the growth of S&P 500 had supposedly already happened this year. Stagnation is now the name of the game.

If you look for investments, you might want to look beyond USA.

On the longer term, S&P 500 is supposed to reach 2.500 points by the end of 2019 (about 8% higher than it is now) which is kind of bad for an investment. You can hardly cover inflation with such 'growth'.
