George, I agree that fighting the FED is a policy for disaster but I find it hard to believe the FED is ready for another series of rate hikes. The last hike probably hasn't even had a chance to make a wave yet and I don't think the FED will stomp on the breaks just to make a point. We've had a series of hikes and I suspect that these will sufficiently slow things down, for now anyway. What's your view on the MSDW article? Michael
