>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So while the Fed, in its role of bartender of last resort, can lower short-term interest rates, over time I believe that long rates will rise, as foreigners (and Americans) digest what last week's Fed action means. Folks will recognize that inflation is not measured excluding food and energy, and will realize that inflation in this country is 5%-plus -- which would argue for long-term rates in the neighborhood of 7% or 8%. Thus it has been left up to the currency and Treasury markets to discipline the Fed, which always takes longer and is always far more painful. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Finally - what I thought must happen. thanks for posting ... regards, John McCarthy
