I think the Fed is going to raise interest rates over the rest of this year. I think it will go up at least 100 basis points before the year is out. So the Fed funds rate will rise from about 6 percent to at least 7 percent. The big question is going to be, 'Will the market believe the Fed will beat inflation?'

That REIT is a fairly transparent view into what is happening in hedge funds sitting on a lot of fixed-rate assets financed with short-term assets. You are going to see significant issues in any type of company that has this type of trade on.

What they're really looking at is the long-term implications of this. In the past, there was a decidedly short-term mentality, and basically what (GM) would say is we'll settle so we can meet our quarterly profit projections. That's different today.
