It's my understanding they were not going to indicate a bias any more - don't remember where I heard that.

A .50% interest raise would give the bond market room to go up and if they go the market will go. I would look for an initial drop then a nice up ward move. IMHO Luther

I'm sending Greenspan an email as we speak.... Dear Alan: I know you grew up during the depression but that is no reason to continue to hoard sugar and raise short-term interest rates when there is no evidence of any real or threatened inflation. Technology and the internet have kept inflation in check and absent any real increases in wages, there is no excess demand for labor (otherwise wages would be headed up - and they are not, they're flat). There also is no sign of any inflation in the future. The viability of using the "pre-emptive strike" has long since passed. The stock market has proven that it can take care of itself. You want to control the market, I suggest you lower the allowed margin level percentages available to investors and lower margin levels even further for stock in companies that IPO'ed during the last trailing 12 months. I also suggest that legislation be passed to control abuses at the MM and floor specialist level to prevent any manipulation in pricing and trading. I also suggest that naked shorting on any U.S. stock be prohibited and that MM's not be allowed to short ANY stock they make a market in beyond the normal average inventory level needed to sustain an hour's worth of trading. Other than that, keep up the good work.
