Hmmmm....well, to address your first accusation...I deny it completely!!!<g> I don't agree with the idea that there is no inflation. Unfortunately, I can't back up my view as I wouldn't really know where to start. However, inflation or not, if AG hesitates, I think that the bond market will puke and bring the stockmarket down with it. With the strength in the commodities and the condition of the bond market, I would be surprised if we didn't get a .50% increase. And I think that the market would like it. Again, I am not the best person to respond on inflation issues, but I would be surprised if there weren't some additional opinions on this thread.

CatLady, Prices are rising across the board at this point. Crude is up over 250% from below 11 dollars in Feb. of 1999. Even the Grain Markets, such as wheat soybeans and corn appear to have put in fairly significant longer term bottoms. here is a post of mine from another thread Message 12658640 industrial metals have been in bull markets this past year. The global pickup in Growth has been substantial especially the countries on the Pacific Rim, Such a Korean, all of which had a very depressed production of goods in 1998-99. This inflation seems to be attributable to excessive money supply growth and the "wealth effect" which as been building up in the system. John
