GST, I think the jobs data will show tens of thousands of people on layoff. In Michigan, the auto companies are projecting sales of approx 15.5 million units this year. This is 12% less than 2000 and 1999. There are currently many thousands of jobs on extended Christmas leave for an extra 2 weeks. Christmas retail volume was not very good, either. So I think the Fed was trying to head-off a calamity. Unfortunately, you were betting on the calamity. I hope you got some relief today.
