Steve, thus far AG is all talk no action. He spoke of irrational exuberance in Nov 96 but did not back up his talk. His track record is to meet all financial trouble with liquidity. If a hedge fund gets in trouble then we can count on rate cuts and an extra kicker cut right before options expirations. Even rate hikes are coupled with monetary inflation via coupon passes and repos. He has proven, thus far that the financial markets come first at the expense of the long term health of the US economy. IMO no way do we get a 50 bp rate hike - it is all Wall St talk to engineer a stock market rally when the Fed hikes 25 bp. i would like to see a 50 bp rate hike coupled with a reduction in the Y2K reserves but i don't expect it. mike

A new record high for the NAZ? Probably so... but I really think it's going to be a real struggle for these markets to continue much higher in the face of higher rates, at some point investors will begin to realize that bonds are safer..... also, many of those NAZ companies have no real assets, the stock moves higher based on projected earnings after they obtain a market base... with higher rates, their cost of doing business will become more expensive and will start to cut into their promise of future profits..... I think it's only a matter of time..... GZ
