I know I've mentioned this before, but I still believe that the fact that this is an election year will have an impact. The Administration needs the economy to be strong and for people to perceive it as strong. Part of that perception comes from a robust market. Call it the wealth effect or whatever, but the fact is that the mom and pops of the world have gotten used to their nest eggs growing with this bull market. If confidence is lost, so will be the perception of prosperity. Since the Administration wants Gore to win, they had better make sure the economic atmosphere feels right. Clinton clobbered Bush with the economy....it could happen here. So, I think the brakes will be put on Uncle Al not to upset the apple cart too much and other behind the scenes manipulations would not be unlikely. It's politics, pure and simple.... JMO M
