Henry, I have a question about interest rates. The last time the fed lowered rates as part of the 3 continious cuts, it was set at 4.75%. CUrrently the 30 year treasury bond yield is around 5.678%. Thats a wide spread. Which one of these has an impact on the credit availability to corporations, consumers and banks? Also a flight to quality drove bonds higher and interest rates lower even before the fed acted last oct. This time around there seems to be no flight to quality drive because of higher interest rates expectations. Where would money flow to if it has to come out of the stock markets? Jags
