Carl re "bull trap", I'll even go out on an unpopular limb and say AG raises today.

Let's see:

-last report showed a record (surprise) low unemployment (since '57)
-last report showed a decrease in productivity
-last report showed increasing prices via PPI
-real estate & "asset" prices inflating
-G7 pressure to deflate bubble
-kids in school projects saying he has to raise <g>!

Add to that the majority of the hyped analysts are doing us the favor of giving us free advice saying he can't possibly raise rates.

If he doesn't now, what if he doesn't have the same ammo in July when we're at 10,000 with an S&P average option adjusted P/E of 45 instead of Forbe's recently estimated 35 P/E? Oh yeah, I keep forgetting, this is a "new era" ;-)

regards & good luck all,
Tom
