Was that '93? I worked for a living then, so I missed a lot of the details, but I do remember banks being a bit tight with new corporate credits. Which brings up a question - do we have any corporate bankers lurking out there? I'm interested in knowing whether it is getting more difficult to get new credits done these days. If so, that's another sign of a recession headed our way. Banks may be slow in loosening up after a recession is over, but they don't waste any time turning of the spigot early in a slowdown. BTW, Bon, the last recession ended officially in April '91. Just an FYI. Bob PS: New closing lows in BOTH the Dow and the Trannies. For the Trannies, intraday too. Anybody think that means rally-time? <G>

Bonnie Re:"with such low interest rates" This thing about low interest rates has been getting to me lately. I've begun to think that it's just propaganda. When fear hits the stock market hard money flows into bonds driving interest prices lower. Just look at Japan. Has low interest rates been good for their stock market? I think that our markets are beginning to develop just such a feel to them : lowering interest rates and lowering stock prices at the same time. Gersh
