    Corporations lay off a bunch of people and make their profit margins look better. With the fed pumping in the money like there's no tomorrow, people/institutions will look for places with better than a .5% return. So why not the stock market and corporations that are profitable? Also inflation also makes commodities shoot up too.

    Invest in whatever benefits from high prevailing interest rates. Commodities, utilities, cash, being a landlord.
