I’ve been writing about quantitative tightening (QT) for well over a year, saying if quantitative easing (QE) made the stock market go up, QT will make it go down.

Stocks are a great place to stuff free money, especially if you can hedge the trade and lock in a profit. However, the market looks ahead about one year, so we might just go into a bull at some point.
