Chuck, If I don't see some signs of remorse from the Fed in the next two weeks, I'm getting out of the market. The only way the Fed will be able to slow down their perceived inflation will be to create an economic climate where the demand for energy actually decreases. AKA "recession." Scumbria

Chuck, I feel that many people expect much more, and have much shorter time-spans in mind. I was a fully-invested, fully-margined, balls-to-the-wall player when Oct.,'87 happened. I went thru 3 quick margin calls, hung on(barely!), and was ahead by about 10% in 6 or 7 months. Now, I always have a cushion. If you really treat the market like like a trip to the casino, I feel you'll most likely end up the same way - losing. There are more logical ways to prosper, IMHO. BTW, Japan just posted its 37th consecutive month of reduced consumer spending. Interesting comparison to our situation? I agree w/you, there will be more rate increases~ Best of luck, JohnD
