Sonny --A couple of thoughts from the employment reports --- 1)Productivity is canceling wage gains if not creating a negative number 2)A shortage of skill workers ---Industrial capacity is in the low 80's ---no where near constraints to push prices higher ---retail workers where the big increase is non -skilled ---very low pay--the remaining employed are non -skilled individuals 3)The economy is growing to strong ---will cause a shortage of capital thus raising interest rates ---give me a break ---tax receipts will be so strong and keep the government out the market from borrowing plus buying back debt this summer that interest rates should dropped 4) call it what they may ---interest rates are being targeted to slow growth and the stock market ---the real problem is that the FED has no paradigms to go buy so we have to guess along with them on what they might do 5) The long term for the foreseeable future is a no brainer ---we going up as long as technology continues this onslaught ---The saying is that technology doubles every two years ---Boy are we in for a heck of a ride !

Hello Frank. Well, at least it is not easy go today unless you look at Dell right now. Coming into the opening the S&P futures were actually down 2 points. You know, fair value and all. It looked good at up 11 or so but that was under fair value. Good thing the employment numbers were kind of a yawn. The bond market had an initial shock and then settled down. Let's hope things look as well when you get home or are you off with your shoulder problems? Sonny
