I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last hike for the year. Falling oil prices should help ease inflationary pressures. The latest PPI number reflected that - 1% with energy - .1 without. Employment is fragile IMO. Many new jobs are service and new economy related - as soon as we see any hickup in the economy, we will see a steep increase in unemployment rates. Most new companies / start-ups fail - historically at a rate of 80% within 5 years - we are already seeing this with some blowups with e-tailers. Dan Dan
