will s/p bottom be 3000-3200?
I saw a correlation between Fed rate hikes and a rising market, not sure why that works, since with near zero interest rates folks pile into the market for some kind of return on their money. As interest rates go up, that would pull money out to safe interest vehicles, wouldn't it? I would think the market would drop until the interest rates price in.

I've got my eye on the 3400 area but you may be right.
In Dog Beers I've only had two.
With the S&P 500 down 21% year-to-date, the situation for stocks is pretty grim — but according to legendary investor Jim Rogers, it’s just the start.
“This has to be the worst bear market in my lifetime, which means it will go down a lot and it will last a long time,” the 79-year-old told ET Now earlier this month.
If you are looking for a safe haven, Rogers says “there is no such thing as safe” in the world of investments. Still, the multimillionaire points to two assets that could help you withstand the upcoming onslaught.
“I'm not buying them now, because in a big collapse, everything goes down. But I probably will buy more silver when it goes down some more.”
Silver is widely used in the production of solar panels and is a critical component in many vehicles’ electrical control units. Rising industrial demand, in addition to its usefulness as a hedge, makes silver in particular a compelling asset for investors.

Unfortunately Jim Rogers has been one of those broken clock investors (eventually right) in that he has been bearish for 20+ years. Eventually these guys are right, but they get notoriety by viewing clips of the stating their bearishness before the drop, but he made similar calls in Sept 2017 and April 2020.

I know nothing about Jim Rogers or even who he is, but I was watching Kudlow yesterday with Charles Payne. Charles (to me) seems to be very knowledgeable and level headed, and has a good grasp on Market history and situations. I trust what he says.
He said at the 6:15 minute mark of the vid below: "I think stocks are somewhat vulnerable obviously to the downside, but I'm telling you, we're gonna get a CPI Report that's gonna be So Shocking to the Downside....... " He then continues with his thoughts.
He must feel that there's some serious Pain coming our way.
He's a great guest and this is a good segment. Just over 7 minutes long. Good stuff.
Hmm, I can't tell what he meant by the CPI report being on the "downside." Higher than expected, or lower than expected, because then he talks about housing stalling which may mean prices falling.
It sounds like he may be more worried about the economy slowing than inflation, but I think he could have been more clear. keep'em guessing, I guess.

I don't know.... All I can say is that my simple-minded interpretation of that statement he made was that he was expecting a future CPI Report to shock the Market into falling like a ton of bricks to the downside. At least that's what I got out of it.
I could be totally wrong, but that's what it sounded like to me . . . . . .

Grantham, who has repeatedly warned investors of a bubble in markets, said in a paper Wednesday that “superbubbles are events unlike any others” and share some common features.
“One of those features is the bear-market rally after the initial derating stage of the decline but before the economy has clearly begun to deteriorate, as it always has when superbubbles burst,” said Grantham. “This, in all three previous cases, recovered over half the market’s initial losses, luring unwary investors back just in time for the market to turn down again, only more viciously, and the economy to weaken. This summer’s rally has so far perfectly fit the pattern.”
Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently ended that rally with his Aug. 26 speech at the Jackson Hole, Wyo., economic symposium, wiping out this month’s gains
