OR Dow index funds if you think Bush will get his SS dream. In that case there will be SS funds fueling the market. SS and 401K funds will be buying anything and pushing prices up.

7. Interest rates have to rise |
|
and not by the timid 0.25% that Greenspan favors. They have to rise to make the bonds floating the national debt look more attractive. That rising rates will kill what's left of the domestic economy is beside the point. We all know that Bushco won't raise taxes on the rich or the corporate, nor will he cut speding at the Pentagon, especially regarding the unworkable and wasteful Star Wars program. The only solution he has to his debt problem is the temporary fix of attracting buyers with high rates of return.
It's going to be a rough ride, folks.
