Anticipating a Rise in Interest Rates

[benjamen]

I believe the FED will eventually raise rates sometime in the next 24 months. This got me thinking about what companies and stock sectors that have the most to gain from rising rates, but I can purchase now while they are still cheap. Perhaps I will start loading up on a few large domestic banks.

Sectors/stocks that could be harmed by rising rates:
Preferred stocks
utilities
some REITs

Sectors/stocks that could be aided by rising rates:
Financials
Tech
Consumer discretionary
