Dan Kern, chief investment officer for TFC Financial Management, a registered investment adviser, sends us into the weekend by sounding off on the potential implication for markets (and what you can do about it): “Many ‘long duration’ equities – stocks with limited near-term earnings and cash flows – have already lost considerable ground. A bubble arguably developed in speculative segments of the market, and rising rates have taken some of the froth out of the market,” he says. “In a tighter-but-far-from-tight policy environment, it will be important to distinguish between companies that have a path to positive cash flows and profitability and those that are more concept than business. Highly indebted companies with near-term refinancing needs may also be vulnerable to rising rates. If the economy continues to run ‘hot,’ cyclical companies such as [banks]( and COVID recovery plays should have their day in the sun.” Free download, [The Kiplinger Letter's Forecast](.
