Lane Hall-Witt: Terrific post about the Fed and interest rates. I suspect the Fed, due to the problems you outline, would like to be as benign as possible. I fear that the "markets" may react far more aggressively and will dictate higher rates with the fed "following"; at the moment, the markets have "priced in" at least a 25 basis point hike while the Fed has yet to move.

Lane...another intriguing post by you... You stated: I'd imagine Greenspan will be cautious about killing the interest-rate environment just as we're heading for the Y2K scare. What do you mean by "killing the interest rate environment"? You believe there will be more rate hikes after this first one...or no further rate hikes...? I too, am leaning towards a .25 increase. I want to view it has "taking back" one of the three rate cuts. That is reasonable. And could you venture a guess when the Y2K scare will be in full force? When will the lemmings begin withdrawals? And frankly, I will have to be a lemming by default and want to anticipate the "perceived" crisis. TIA, Mary
