If you think interest rates matter all that much for an economy, I have one word for you: JAPAN.

Sorry Victor, I am not living in the past. I am talking about data through the 90s. Interest rates and oil share the bulk of the correlation, but oil is still more highly correlated.

Write this # down just in case you're living in the past. DISAPPEARING ACT 2 -- THE MISSING PHONE NUMBER: Amazon.com prides itself on customer service. And its online ordering system is second to none. But sometimes it does get things goofed up. In those cases, when only a human being can help, customers will find themselves searching the otherwise splendid site in vain for a phone number. There are scads of e-mail addresses and links to help sites. But dig as you might, you won't find a phone number. Why not? "We designed the site to answer most questions electronically, and e-mails are responded to pretty quickly," spokesman Bill Curry said. The other day, one urgent e-mail -- asking for the customer-service phone number -- hadn't been answered within an hour. The customer-service number is 800-201-7575. Write it down. You won't find it anywhere else.
