article was referring to still photos I am sure it was, but that is no big deal, IMO. I took pictures sat nite at my party, and posted them immediately on the web using San Disk. The technology for still photos is there right now. The ability to bypass the birds, and transmit video directly to studios on HDR over wireless phones,for worldwide video, will cause an enormous reduction in cost, and make it available to every TV beat reporter, without the need to send the trucks out with the dish on top.

Re inverted yield curve- With todays Fed move, the yield curve is either about flat or mildly inverted, depending on how you figure it. A wild card here might be the reduced government borrowing and debt buy back, a highly unusual condition. Marty Zweig in his book "Winning on Wall Street" says that an inverted yield curve is an extremely bearish factor if it lasts more than a month or so. FWIW , he uses 6 month commercial paper for short term rates and Moody's Aaa Corporate Bonds Yield for the long term. At it's worst during the 1973-1974 period and the early 1980"s this negative yield spread got as far apart as 3 percentage points, so we are a long way from that extreme so far. As we have seen, gorillas are not immune to general market conditions. The Fed has been very good about letting the market know what was coming, so the market may have already anticipated most of the future changes. If that's the case, we could have already have seen the decline, earlier than usual this time.
