Actually, it finished slightly higher than that today.  It was basically "flat".  However the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ finished slightly higher.

Quote:The stock market did very well today despite the announced rate hike.  That shows a lot of confidence in the economy and where it's going.  Hiking interest rates will be better for savers and a bit more difficult for spenders.
