<Japan's rate is now 1/2 of 1%--and people are saying what next,0% interest rate.> Well said Max. What I meant by citing the decrease as positive is that investors are seeing the Japanes rate drop as a signal that U.S. rates will be dropping and that the market will rally on that news. I've been reading up on Germany's reaction to the global economic problems and was wondering if the German's were facing the same interest question as we are. Germany currently has the lowest interest rates of the European Common Market nations, along with France and is unlikely to lower rates in the near future. (thanks for the links Jim.) On the retailers and Ames, good point about the downgrades, but there was also some positive news on some individual retail stocks today. Too much vol. on Ames for there not to be a more direct connection, IMO. Sergio
