- Greenspan doesn't really control interest rates or inflation.

- If you listen to Steve Forbes, you'll see that the yield on the 30 year bond has dropped to around 6.25%; at the same time we've had 2 increases in the Fed Funds rate

- Put another way, whether Greenspan & the Fed increase or decrease rates 5 points tommorrow, I'm not going to spend anything more on a loaf of bread.

- Put another way, if Win 2000 is a big hit, then 3/31/00's numbers will be great, & MSFT will do another run up & split in April 2000

The sad part ed is he has thus far been doing both. All the earlier increases are now beginning to show up on vehicle loans, mortgages, etc. I understand credit card companies have sent notices raising rates 2% in the last few weeks. Uncle Al is doing what he thinks is right,,, maybe he is and maybe the mkts need a few months to digest what he has already done,,,
