Give me some past precedent for your thinking that would warrant such a dire outlook while the FED was lowering rates while the economy was still expanding. Greg

jcky- Wouldn't the unemployment report be HUGE tomorrow....if we see it with a 4.0, or 4.1 handle. combined with recent unemployment claims, it should be clear that some labor inflation pressures are easing...additionally, oil was at $35 last week, now under $ 30.... In the last 2 Fed notes (following Fed meetings), these were the 2 things they mentioned.... The U.S. Dollar has been extroadinarily high for a while....a little bit of easing should not cause more than slight money flow out of the U.S....only if the Euro would hit 96, and stay there for a couple months or so, would you, I believe see capital flight...The Yen remains fairly weak, and shows little signs of strengthening a lot... A lot of technology companies wanted a strong Euro, claiming its hurting them (PCs, etc)... I don't share your fears about the dollar (yet). I do think the unemployment report needs to show weakness tomorrow..
