Hi don Who knows .. sounded good when I wrote it :o) Just kidding. I got corrected on another thread. The figures that BP was talking about were for the year, or something like that. I had just caught the end of his talk. I think that the current figure is ~$55 billion right now. (I'm sure that just about anybody could talk me out of that number real fast: translation=BWDIK) Gersh

"Meanwhile, short-dated paper like bills and 2-year notes were held hostage by diminished expectations of a Fed easing at Tuesday's FOMC meeting." cbs.marketwatch.com Count me in the "diminishing expectations" camp: How can Uncle Al cut interest rates when IPOs like the two internut issues last week make new one-day trading records, one after the other? Where is the fear which triggered the last couple of rate cuts? Answer: There is no fear anymore, and hence no need to cut rates again. IMO.

Don: Do you know of anyplace that I might access recent closing prices for the SPX futures? I tried to look it up on Yahoo but I don't know the symbol to put in for the futures. Dennis

donald-- there was a ton of money back in sept and august...something like 1.25 trillion at one point during september. that has driven us this far. now there is only 150 billion left (gersh's number)...whats gonna prop us up now? we sell off in the morning, then it goes up when we get the cut. or maybe down a little more after they dont make the cut. should be an interesting day. wouldnt it be funny if the FED actually RAISED rates<G>. good luck to all, trey
