No Wage Inflation "Fear": Cheap Labor: China(PNTR/WTO)+Mexico(NAFTA)+INDIA(Bombay/Pondicherrry=Computer Software Developers) Your stats neglect that the new Silicon Valley is already moving to India. The Federal Reserve rates CANNOT EXCEED the GDP or CPI not now, not before, not ever. Did I mention the cheap "EURO"? Did I mention "Corporate Paper" from cash flows from our strong economy? Even CAPITAL MARKETS meet SUPPLY with DEMAND at PRICE. Thats simple supply and demand. We are starting the SUMMER RALLY, do participate, despite the informal invitation, no RSVP is necessary. I am, Truly your$ -Crystal Ball
