The Federal Reserve have been telling you for an entire year that interest rates were going up, that finally makes bonds worthwhile, and for Americans who have savings and pay their bills each month it's great. Do you even understand Capitalism, the business cycle, and what it means to finally make sure the American economy is solid. Once again, you can always sell short, you make just as much money in a down market as in an up market. Typical Republican, all you want is free money, get off your ass and work, get a paycheck each week, quit trying for the easy buck. The stock market has been going up and down for decades, learn.
