Bond Rate Increase, Is it Carrot infront of horse?

Many of you know today Fed Chair Jerome Powel speaking at 2 PM, he will go live for Q&A around 2:30 PM. He will share where he thinks the interest rates will be moving out. Stock Market wants big GDP growth. He may introduce a new operation twist, buy more bonds to stabilize the market. If rates goes to 1.75, market will cry and live with it. There is always been like Carrot infront of horse. Stimulus bill, Vaccine, what is next coming? If you look out 6 months ahead, where is the Carrot? We may get higher rates, not much to look forward to except may be higher earnings from business. 1.65 or 2% in 10-Yr Bond and see you are buying Bond, is it good investment? Do not forget inflation, are you losing money if you invest in Bond? You got to do your own research and decide. 

A lot of negativity and no carrots, I think investing in Stock/Equity still good and it will keep going higher.  You need to find value based on your financial goal and timeframe. A lot of IPO, SPAC, Reddit Hype grabbing money like there is no tomorrow. Meanwhile, big tech stock along with Nasdaq suffering. What is your opinion if interest rate going higher, do you think Stock Market will still keep going higher? Please share your thought.
