text:  The stock market did not like that. The stock market likes cheaper, free money. So the stock market sold off back in 2022, down about 20%. Then last year was a little bit different because the Fed did continue to raise rates. It went from 4.5% to 5.5%. But the stock market actually gained. And the reason the market's gained was that, from Wall Street's perspective at least, they said, well, at least we know it's the finish line. We're not going to 10%. We're not going to 15%. We're going to 5.5%, and we can live with that. So we saw the stock market start to gain 1%.
