Bill, I agree with you the problem the FED faces the huge pressure from the White House and Democrats (can you imagine if we are in a bear market how many democrats will be elected let alone a democratic president??)and the Vice Chairman is a democrat!!! Aside from that the issue is that the FED blinked in 1996 and failed to tackle the stock market itself - e.g. higher margins to 55% or 60% and voting for full transparence and no "managed profits" with realistic rules regarding stock option to corporate employees. Now any move will crash the market and the FED are only postponing the unevitable. IMHO the right thing to do was to lower interest rates and hike the margin requirements. Presently it is no wonder why money is flowing into the stock market and not in the real economy, easy pickings and instant rewards are in the stock market. It is quite baffling the way the FED is acting (asuming they are honest people and not politicaly influenced)as the solutions are so obvious and the danger so clear. They do not need SI for advise <gg> BWDIK Haim
