<<Point is, the economic effects of any cut in rates takes time. People don't sit in front of CNBC, hear about a half-point cut and say "hey, I'm gonna go car shopping today - thanks >> I understand that RD, and i've refi'd too. My point is it's like losing weight- the first ten or 20 lbs are easy or relatively so, then after that it gets increasingly more difficult. I think we're finally feeling the benefits of the cuts (and the attendant expectations of sustained consumer and busness spending) and the dimishing shock value of the anthrax reports, but I also think the market upside from here is very limited. I know i'm rambling here; sorry! Victor
