>>New Satellites to Map Gravity More Precisely<< nytimes.com Wonder why they'd do anything this foolish? Don't they know that the effect of gravity on satellites is negligible? Don't they know that the orbits of satellites are not affected by changes in gravity? ;^)

Mq: >>Uncle Al will give a 0.25% interest rate rise tomorrow citing an extraordinarily fast recovery around the world<< My crystal ball says no increase in the Fed. Funds Rate tomorrow. It would be too abrupt a reversal of policy, imho. Also, Uncle Al watches the PPI and CPI which both say zero inflation. 25 basis point increase no sooner than May, imho. >>a dramatic warning that interest rates are likely to have to climb as rapidly as they fell<< I think that this is unlikely because we are in an inherently deflationary environment. We are going to get the best of all possible worlds - better than the late 90s - with very fast growth and very low interest rates. >>the first couple of interest rate increases will drive markets crazy because all doubt about recovery will be thrown overboard. People will buy shares flat out<< Yes. 2002 will be strong. The holders of cash and the shorts will throw in the towel by year end and start buying 2003 will also be very good. The only way to deny what is happening is through an irrational attachment to apocalyptic beliefs - still much in evidence among the doomsters.

Monday, March 4, 2002 4:44 AM ET To: Jay Chen From: elmatador The 'recovery' is being prepared. They took that ugly recession, did some liposuction on the belly's fat, pulled out the hair sticking outside its nose, implanted a few teeth, put a toupee over its falling hair, send it to the gym for a couple of weeks to teach how to walk straight, 15Kg of make up and if they don't forget some fake finger nails its gonna pass as a recovery. Another thing to watch: Lots of companies' losses will blamed on 'exposition' to Argentina!! Cheers Elmat Update 19.03.02 Now AG is going to put some silicone implants on the chest of the retreaded recession with .25% interest increment.
