2-year bonds yielding 6.413 at 102.5 (12/1/03).  Concerned with travel industry, rental car, housing and mortgage refinancing if rates perk up. These are my uneducated concerns and not necessarily analysts concerns. As a matter of fact I am reading a RS report on CD where they maintain strong buy on returning earnings momentum. Guidance raised  since things are improving quicker than anticipated. A one-time charge in Q4’01 of 0.43/ share is expected.  Great flow ratio of 0.64.
