Mohan, re:<<What is the matter stock bull you scared? I hope not?.<eom> >> Mohan, believe me when I say that I've been through to many "wars" to be scared. Remember what Andy Grove of Intel said..."Only the Paranoid Survive". Also, lets not forget that we shouldn't confuse "effort with results". We need to get the stock into the 115 to 125 range in order to get a split...IMO. So, please put your protective gear on, get the rocket fuel out to the ship, load it up, and lets count down for the lift-off. Don't "chicken out", we need your help. <VBG> Stock Bull

(COMTEX) B: KEYWORDS: FED FINANCIAL ECONOMY CURRENCY STOCK Fed Leaves B: KEYWORDS: FED FINANCIAL ECONOMY CURRENCY STOCK Fed Leaves Interest Rates Unchanged, Part 2 The likelihood the Fed would not move today was "about as close as you can get to a sure bet in monetary policy" analysis, Tim O'Neill, chief economist at Bank of Montreal in Toronto, said today. With inflation at bay, uncertainty still surrounding the outcome of Brazil's financial and economic woes, and growing fears that the bursting of a possible stock market bubble could substantially impact consumer and business spending, most Fed watchers doubted that any FOMC members would stridently call for a rate hike at this time. Recent comments by Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who twice appeared before Senate panels last month, gave no indications he was leaning toward any near-term change in policy. Paul Kasriel, chief domestic economist at Northern Trust in Chicago, said Fed policymakers were trapped. Although there may be a desire among some FOMC members to make a preemptive strike against possible inflation, such a move was precluded by fear it could prompt a sharp drop in the stock market. If they wanted to do something, they couldn't do it right now, Kasriel said. "The Fed's latitude to be preemptive is curtailed." Economists can justifiably quibble about the calculation of the U.S. personal savings rate, which has fallen to historically low levels in recent months, Kasriel said. It's obvious, nevertheless, that the savings rate has declined sharply over recent years as the stock market has rallied, indicating that the robust consumer and business spending that has fueled the U.S. economy is increasingly vulnerable to any setbacks in the equity market. "The economy is on a knife-edge," Kasriel said. "It has a lot of vulnerabilities, especially related to the consumer sector." End of Part 2 * end of story *

(REUTERS) Fed seen sitting out impact of last fall's easing Fed seen sitting out impact of last fall's easing By Isabelle Clary NEW YORK, Feb 3 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve is expected to keep monetary policy on hold over the coming months while it monitors a robust U.S. economy that has yet to fully absorb the stimulative impact of three interest rate cuts last fall, economists said. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left the federal funds rate unchanged at 4.75 percent after a two-day meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. The FOMC lowered the overnight interbank lending rate to that level on November 17, the third rate cut since September 29. MORE * end of story *
