While the markets are reacting negatively to the potential interest rates raise, believing that it will cause markets to drop; the reality is that markets actually do better when interest rates go up!

This is statistics from CNBC:

From the article, we can see that after every rate hike
1) Markets are usually up for the next 30 months
2) Markets are up 9.5% a year after the rate hike

So keep a lookout for those interest rates!
A hike might be a buying opportunity! - Especially if it brings with it a short-term drop of several percentage points!
