<<MF April 20th 2001.pdf>>  			Good Friday Afternoon - Comments From The Local Guys!
One of the reasons that we, the Local Guys are pretty exited about the recent rate cut by the Federal Reserves is that we think it will make a real difference.
Over the last few months, there has been considerable talk that while capital spending (especially information technology spending) has been budgeted by corporations for 2001, it has, to a large extent, been 'frozen' as the economic uncertainty had taken a grip of corporate comptrollers.
We believe that this latest rate cut  (and possible future cuts), could well spur greater corporate confidence (as well as spur greater liquidity from the capital markets) and thus free up already allocated budgets for corporate spending.
The 30-year US T-Bond yield is 5.81%.

The 5-year is trading at 4.81%.
