@investwithgigi: Your portfolio is about to experience classic post-rate hike cycles, backed by 80 years of market data. Goldman Sachs notes the S&P 500 typically drops 2% initially, while Schwab shows a 14% average drawdown over a full year. However, pacing changes everything: continuous hikes trigger a brutal 16% drop, whereas staggered hikes reduce drawdowns to 12%. Despite early bumps, historical median one-year returns bounce back to a strong 10.7%. Just like the internet boom in 1997 when markets surged 42% a year later, today’s AI revolution is overpowering rate pressures. These early dips aren’t a cue to exit, they could be your ultimate entry point. Follow if you want to hedge your portfolio after this hike. Not financial advice. Always do your own research.
