Tim, cbs.marketwatch.com I like this part..... >>>>>>>>Tut has also developed a technology called Home Run, which allows households to link up their desktops and other computing equipment in a miniature version of a corporate intranet. Steven Tuen, research director at IPO Value Monitor, said Tut will do well in the short term, but he voiced concern about competition from Ascend (ASND), Pairgain (PAIR) and others.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Sandra

<<January 29, 1999: 6:34 p.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Wall Street will be taking much of its cue from the nation's capital next week, with two key Washington events shaping up as some of the main factors in market activity. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee will meet to decide U.S. interest-rate policy. Specifically, they'll set the federal funds rate, which banks charge each other for overnight loans and the discount rate, charged on emergency loans to banks. At its last meeting in December, the Fed left both rates unchanged. Now investors, as usual, are anxiously awaiting whether the Fed will stay the course once more. David Jones, chief economist at Aubrey G. Lanston, thinks Greenspan will hold off on raising interest rates next week. Instead, said Jones, the Federal Reserve will pursue a familiar strategy. In past years, such as 1996, the Fed let the markets go up early in the year and if the economy got too strong, it cooled it off with some interest-rate hikes later in the year. As for rate cuts, they may have to wait as well. "The point is we haven't seen any evidence whatsoever of a slowing," said Jones. "I think he'll wait until he sees the whites of the eyes of a slowdown later in the year before any chance of more rate cuts." >>
