Tom, >>I suspect that we will see rates unchanged with a bias to tighten in the future.<< Yup, I agree, but I believe the highs for the year are printed. Also, the markets will trend higher and within a trading range into end of November and sell off into our "populist millennium bash." Will they rise after the new year? We may be seeing the beginning of a major trend reversal, namely the flatening of the immediate benefits of the resent technological productivity enhancements of the industrial-computer meld [seen dramatically over the last 10 years], the beginning of another broad cycle of 3rd world growth, because the industrial engines need new buyers and need new markets to sustain our society. I believe there's a major change taking place in the underlying structure and we are seeing the nascent beginning of an inflationary spiral in natural resources as demand increases again all over the world. These new markets will appear, just as they did earlier in Asia, but the speed at which they appear may increase dramatically. If growth fails to find new homes and create new buyers our western life style is in Big Trouble. Nice to have you back on line. Chip
