Cary, Its funny. I would ask you the same questions you ask me pertaining to iraq and bush policy. Substitute iraq for palestine and bush for sharon and you have both guys following the same policy toward arafat/saddam. I will admit a certain naivite/idealism vis a vis palestine if you will do the same regarding bush policy toward iraq. IF clinton were president and was doing exactly the same as bush is doing now, you would be behind him 100%. And Clinton was no hands on general like sharon either. mike

Anyone see a fed cut tomorrow. I am predicting one and suspect this time it will have positive ramifications for the market. Market is desperately afraid of Roach double D scenario(deflation and depression spurred on by end of RE bubble causing end of consumer bubble). Low rates will bring us 5% mortgages and keep housing alive. Low rates and perhaps some loosening in credit requirememts may allow more borrowing by less than credit worthy leading to capex spending. If market sees 6-9 months out a 1/2 cut may work for the markets. Since the declining market itself is also a cause of potential double D, a rally will help. Does the govt/fed/PPT have the power? Mike
