Tom, the only way indexes would be holding up is pure inertia.
You are in the business of the refis, best place to watch. <ng>
IMVHO, current US admin's measures, tax breaks and so on will only be positive till 2005.
But the marrkets usually discount the results by at least 6 months.
I think is is safe to say now that:
- the reps will not win the white house (although there is that nasty gubernator wildcard)
- the more current admin delays a correction on the markets, the harsher this will be, the later this will come, the lesser the current admin will be able to manage a recovery of a magnitude assuring re-election.

Leaves us with an alternative:
- either the current administration is dumb, the market will not correct until falling of his own weight (what I suspect)
- or the administration is clever, and would allow these markets to crash as they should and present counter-measure by next Spring for a brand new rally.

So, I still am in a roadmap for an IT correction before this Winter, with worse to come by next Winter.
