OFF TOPIC Bill, Heck if I know how the market will react to the inflationary pressures. One day the market will say, "Hey, this is awful. Inflation is kicking in and the Fed will have to raise interest rates to keep it from taking off." On another day the market will say, "Hey, this is great. The economy was growing too fast and the Fed's reaction to it will keep rampant inflation at bay." Now you know why I'm no good at the short-term predictions. --Mike Buckley

Lindy, FOMC meeting Tuesday to decide on interest rates. Doubtful that decision will be to increase rates based on only one inflationary CPI number. More likely that it will await next one or two additional CPIs. Meanwhile market has priced in one interest rate rise, and when it doesn't come we should see market rally on Tuesday and rest of week. If rates are raised, but only once, markets will tolerate it. If interest rates are raised a second time, then market impact could be very significant, am told. Tulvio
