Real economy is healthy. Service industry is exploding, everybody is out traveling and eating etc for at least the next several months bar a new covid variant that’s resistant to previous immunity.
Don’t see how a gradual raise to 2% or whatever is gonna crash the real economy. Also given inflation, who wants to put money in the bank and get a measley 1% risk free return?

You are blind to the problems, and constantly try to discount them. You will likely wish you took the 1% rather than gambling on fantasy narratives.
Be careful about the "opportunity" provided by a market that remains near the steepest valuations in history, with (still) divergent market internals, having cleared oversold compression last week. Conditions can shift, but that's the snapshot here. Not a forecast. Just FYI. pic.twitter.com/GFLlRZ5LGm
I'm still looking at value-style funds like SCHD, DTD, COWZ...old fashioned funds that buy good companies that pay dividends and/or generate a lot of cash. The classic playbook has to work at some point.
Although you know and I know that in a year we'll be back wishing we owned tech and nothing but tech. I'm a terrible tech investor...2000-2002 is too burned into my brain to take a long view on those companies. Down 80% is too hard for me to take. I sell low over and over again. So I have to stay away from tech funds. No courage to sit and do nothing. Know yourself.

The market can not be timed. Stock-picking doesn't work either. A diversified portfolio is what will work for 98% of investors. Again, you can not time the market.

As someone who has successfully “timed the markets” for decades, I take a different view. EVERYBODY “times the markets”. There is an in and an out, even if the out is via death. B&H’ers over the past 10 years—and there are many—have CHOSEN not to exit, yet. Choosing to not do something is also timing, because it is the act of choosing that is important.
A very decent day for me. Heck, even my small but irritating trbcx holding has recovered well over the past sessions, and will probably be up another 2% when nav is calculated in a few minutes.
Successful timing of the markets does not happen. More happenstance than anything. A study done in the mid-90s concluded that market-timing and stock picking have a very small impact (4%) on your portfolio. 96% is on adequate diversification. Please quit with the "I have been successfully timing the market for decades." Doesn't happen.

Lol an equity portfolio can’t be diversified by picking individual stocks/etf’s? Especially when an included etf is itself made up of a bunch of individual vehicles?

I think you need to re-think some things.😁
Not talking about picking individual stocks. Am talking about diversified funds (value, small, large, junk, international, etc.) and bonds for the most part. You might have to rethink things.
