What do you think about the Fed rate rise?

Yesterday I made a thread about the US Fed and some people were saying that if the interest rates for 2y treasuries rise above the 10y treasury rate then equities are done for. Can someone explain why a positive 2y/10y ratio would be bad for equities?

Does anyone have any analysis of the unwinding of the Fed's balance sheet?

It seems like Trump is not interested in gutting the Volcker Rule and Volcker himself has said positive things about some of the changes in that they retain the spirit of The Rule but make it the regulatory structures more efficient.

I can't really find much in the way of doomsday scenarios. People are saying price growth will be slow so focus on dividends. I can't really see an issue with this though, a smooth running financial system that isn't thrashing around like a banshee sounds good to me, even if growth is slow it is slow for everyone so who gives a continental?

What do you guys think?

Some shadowy Jew choosing interest rates based on their arbitrary "feelings" of the market, and garbled up mathematics is a bad system

What should we implement in it's place?
And none of that "gold standard" retardation, actual solutions.
