Ian: Re: "IMO, now is no longer a good time to be short." Right you are. Never, ever short the main man, Dr. Greenspan, unless you are looking for a tax write-off <G>.

ian, i don't put a whole lot of faith in my interpretation. i do know what ag said and he said it is just as likely that he'll RAISE rates as lower them. =. equal. the same probability. the herd may take it differently. the herd may think that the us being infected with the worldwide recession bug is a good thing, too. they may see the cliff and run, oh so fast, to catch that view on the way down ;-) i have longs and puts. i'd love to see some strength in the small caps.

>>It appears that you're in the 4% of the people who've interpreted AG's comments as meaning, "... i think this was obviously fed speak saying "don't expect a decrease in rates anytime soon."..."<< ian, included in that 4% is Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. since he spoke face to face with greenspan in san francisco, i think he'd know better than the bulls what is going on. btw, this man knows english better than 96% of americans ;-) for the full story... exchange2000.com no cut, no increase. steady the course.
