bp,..Re:.Our economy is fundamentally strong and technology is the driver. Greenspan can tinker around the edges but the FED can't & shouldn't try to thwart real growth as long as inflation remains low.

You're right, the economy is healthy and SE Asia is recovering and Europe is growing. These circumstances bode well for US tech companies as well as traditional business and should help the market broaden as growth abroad continues.

Fed fund futures already have a 25 basis point tightening priced in for Feb. and the even if the new voting FOMC members are said to be more hawkish, a 50 bp raise seems unlikely.<g>

Weighing the Prospects for a Heavy-Handed G
By James Padinha

A bunch of things suggest, of course, that that's precisely what it ought to do anyway. Labor markets refuse to quit tightening. Final demand refuses to quit accelerating. One key leading inflation measure has gone from falling at about a 3% rate a year ago to rising at a 10% rate now. Measures of financial conditions (especially those that include asset prices) are screaming Go.

All of those things say that policy just isn't tight enough.

A surprisingly hard smack, though?

Keep in mind that G. Love testifies later in February.

Can you imagine the reaction? If he tossed us a fitty in the wake of a nice price number? And if the employment number then printed kind?

The congressional mo-rons would be into him like a dung beetle on poop.

G might even take back his letter of intent and go home.
