            Hi Tom and all,

            This Fed us to talk a lot about "preemptive strikes on
inflation",  in fact this was their justification for the last rate
increase.  Why not a "preemptive strike" on deflation  (perhaps world wide)?

                                            Good luck and good trading,
                                                        Ray Raffurty
