What stocks to buy in an interest rate rising environment?

In financial doctrine, we learn that a stable cashflow (low-volatility) company will be highly sensitive to interest rate compared to a high volatility company.  This means that low volatility cashflow will be positively correlated and high volatility cashflow will be negatively correlated to the interest rate.

As banks and insurance companies have relatively stable cashflows, these companies will benefit in an interest rising environment.

Bill Gates' suggestion on robot tax won't work!

http://fortune.com/2017/02/18/bill-gates-robot-taxes-automation/
Imposition of robot tax to save any human job won't work because it is a regressive action that will impede productivity.  This action will force businesses to choose between human or robot based on cost instead of productivity.  Furthermore, businesses will move to other countries without robot tax so that more robots can be used.  The fundamental reason businesses adopt automation is to improve productivity and lower production cost.  If we impose robot tax to compel businesses to adopt lesser robots, it will defeat the purpose of improving productivity as a human cannot work 24/7.  If full automation can increase productivity and lower product cost better than semi-automation with some human labour, why would we want semi-automation unless full automation has a higher robot tax which can lead to higher production cost?

Who killed Kim Jong Nam?

The likely suspects are:
USA (CIA)
China
South Korea
North Korea
Japan

USA is unlikely to be the culprit as CIA is busy in dealing with Trump's anti-thesis propaganda.

China is also unlikely to be the culprit as China is protecting Kim Jong Nam and his family.

South Korea is unlikely to be the culprit as it is busy with the presidential scandal.

North Korea is also unlikely to be the culprit as it is NEVER the modus operandi(MO) to use foreign agents to kill.  It always uses its own agents for the killings or else it will raise an alarming bell in its own country for the desperate MO.

Therefore, the only likely culprit left is JAPAN because it wants to frame North Korea and topple the dictator.

This is our conclusion based on logical thinking.
