What To Do When Interest Rates Rise?

Since The Great Recession, much of the world has lived in a low or even negative interest rate environment.

That’s begun to change in the last year or so as interest rates around the world have begun rising.

Here in the United States, the 10 Year Treasury Bill (T-Bill) hits its highest level in 4 years last week, and 30-year mortgage rates are the highest they’ve been in two years.

And of course like with what I talked about in What Should You Do When The Market – Or Your Stock – Crashes?, some are beginning to freak out.

Should you as a long-term value investor in the stock market?
