Dwight, re:FED 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. I'm not so sure the FED cares about an equity bubble. We've become focused (via media) on the [false] sence that mother will take care of us. IMO, the FED's incorporation and charter have little to do with the our well-being. We could argue the importance of sustaining a 'host,' but such presumes perfect information (and limited hosts). In another vein, "When you're up to your a** in alligators, it's hard to remember that the objective is draining the swamp." BWDIK, Alan
