    Stocks for Rising Rates

    Other than bank stocks what other stocks benefit from rising rates? I picked up some Paychex since they sit on a lot of cash and an increase apparently increases the money they earn on it. Any other stocks like this?

    I would think the market as a whole will trend up when rates start to rise. I know some of the experts think other wise but..............I look at it as normalizing, not raising rates to slow down an overheating economy with runaway inflation. If we can raise rates, normalize, then that means the economy and the global economy is doing good and growing at a moderate pace. Which in turn should mean rising profits. But to be honest, I don't see a strong economy anytime soon. I think we might be stuck waiting for the next unforeseen catalyst. And I think that catalyst will be this summer, elections and any affect from Zika.
