Drake, if you can steer me to more detail on >>historically, the stock market has done well whenever interest rates are below 10%.< I would appreciate it.

The article "Time To Buy Bonds" By Kathy Jones, Economist,
Prudential Securities, to which I posted a link yesterday
contains a howler...

>>The biggest fear in the market is the prospect of a global recovery. Weakness in the global economy outside North America has helped to keep inflation down in the U.S. Falling import prices and huge excess capacity abroad coupled with weak demand all have
contributed to the declining trend in U.S. inflation in the past two years. The possibility of these conditions reversing has weighed heavily on the bond market, particularly given the strong pace of domestic demand.

We all remember how the sky was supposed to fall when in summer 1997
we first heard of the Asian contagion. Now Kathy Jones wants us to be concerned about an Asian recovery? And she asserts the Asian problems
were actually good for the US? I understand her reasoning, but
just cannot take this seriously.
