Hey Jim. Good luck on the house. Whew just getting finally settled in mine myself. Just a heads up, it will at times seem overwhelming, but hang in there it will come together. Hey how about a FED rate decrease next meeting? Lower interest to weaken dollar? Bring down relative cost of Petrol to Euros to try and stem a European meltdown? Help out the trade balance? Fed wants/needs to guide us in for a soft landing. By the way, most Multinational's hedge currency risk, so the CNBC interpretation that it will affect earnings is not entirely correct. As we all know there is NO inflation. Commodities can't get out of their own way. Most are at 10 year lows. Sugar, an exception, will be slapped down hard real soon as an enormous supply is getting ready to hit the market. The only one that has busted out is the Oil complex. But the Crude/Heating price is out of Feds control, despite Clintonian promises. They know and you know that it is in a speculative frenzy now...think QCOM in December. Has less and less to do with supply/demand and more and more to do with greed. It won't hold. Of course if the Fed does succeed in weakening the dollar, commodities will begin to rise some. Simply because the demand from Europe will rise as they become more affordable due to a stronger currency. So, how about a rate decrease? Quite a job, balancing a Global economy, NO? Long and going longer as of September 15, 2000
