    The market looked really good yesterday and this
    morning - and SUDDENLY ..........

    Didn't have anything to do with Israel or Columbia-U
    or Ukraine - somebody must have leaked that the Fed
    is not gonna cut the prime rate. DOW down 570 at the
    moment, NASDAQ down 325. S&P down 80.

    Alas inflation HAS gone up the past month or so - and
    as such a CUT in the rate is unlikely. Might even be
    a slight boost. "Inflation/COL" is a BIGGIE in turning
    people against Joe and the Dems, so the Fed will go as
    stupid as needed in order to (attempt) control.
