Wig I am not sure you have ever been right.

The economy is strong - could you imagine where we would be if we were not fighting a major war and there were no threats to oil or from terrorism?

Unless something major happens from a terror attack or to the flow of oil, 2004 will continue to roll INTO 2005 - after that, I am not sure. Depends on who is President and what economic policies they try to install.

Serge, markets had short term rate hikes already built in. Infact if we do not have .25 point raise on a regular basis the markets will be dissappointed.

Mike,
wig is over mil in trading gains right,
but of course, it's your God's given right to argue with numbers.

as for your read of economy,
your read is meaningless if you can't make money of your read and wig CAN,
which again is your right to argue about who is right and who is wrong.

As for what markets expect and what will disapoint them,
you are living in YESTERDAY,
today's employment numbers completely destroyed your reality and markets no longer expect what you expect, you are now behind the curve
which once again is your God's given right to argue with me
;-))))
