Hello Ike, Do you look for the below scenario to continue ?

In January of this year, short-term interest rates dropped below the 4.5% discount rate, and indeed for about two weeks the Value-Line index dramatically outperformed the S&P 500. But then as February arrived the t-bill rate moved back up and those top-10 big caps took off again, leaving the rest of the market once again stuttering and stammering. The same exact pattern occurred in that October low of last fall--once again motivated by lower short-term interest rates. But as soon as those rates started moving back up the broad market stalled and the large-cap dominance returned.

I ask because to me it seems that the cream of the crop of US companies are being placated by the Fed enabling them to garner market share throughout the world while the getting is good and we are in a position to bargain ( and I use the word losely) from a position of undeniable supremacy. As time goes by we will transfer more and more of our industrial capacity abroad as our economy becomes more and more technology based. Yet why lose more revenue than necessary when we can take advantage of others economic woes and help them build up their economies by franchising our factories and manufacturing to them. I don't want to make this post to long, I am just wondering if I was on the right track here or way off base in your opinion. Tia, MarkC.
