Rate Cut Won't Lift U.S. Stocks For Long, Many in Market Believe
THE LOWEST SHORT-TERM U.S. interest rates in 27 years gave Wall Street a boost on Friday. Yet with the nation's economy on its knees, many professional investors predict that stocks' gains won't last long. On Friday, the Federal Reserve lowered its discount rate, which it charges on short-term loans to banks and savings-and-loan institutions, by a full percentage point, to 3.5%. Altering this rate is the biggest gun in the arsenal of the Fed, which has fired the cannon six times since it began easing credit a year ago. Moreover, a full-point drop is a rare occurrence; this was the first one in 10 years. In response to the Fed's move, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 20.12 points on Friday, to 2934.48, in heavy volume. But even though the Fed acted more boldly than expected, the market hardly soared: In percentage terms, the industrial average increased only 0.7%, while the average issue on the New York Stock Exchange climbed 0.5%.

Many on Wall Street Shrug Off Rate Cut --- Worries Over Economy Overshadow the Impact Of Full-Point Reduction

The U.S. unemployment rate is 6.2% and climbing. Auto sales are down. The fund that reimburses depositors of failed U.S. banks is running short of money. Corporate bankruptcies are soaring.

Surprising Stocks: Afraid to Miss a Rally, Pros Clamber to Buy, And Market Is Soaring --- Long-Ignored Smaller Issues Now Outpace the Dow; Some Little Guys Join In --- A Waiting Game That Lost
All around Wall Street, traders on the desks that deal in big blocks of stock are barking out orders in their clipped, staccato lingo -- exuberant because, for the first time in months, investors from around the world are calling and asking to buy stocks. \"Call the dog and tell him 100,000 are trading at 1/4,\" one trader calls out. \"Half-bid for 11-4 {11,400 shares}!\" yells another. Professional money managers, fearful of making the job-threatening mistake of missing a major rally in stocks, are plunging back into the market. And although the rally started with big institutions that manage pension money and the like, even the long-absent \"little guy\" seems to be starting to join in. Strangely, it is the war against Iraq -- the bearish threat that weighed down the financial markets for months -- that set off the stunning rally in stocks. Many investment pros thought they had figured out a smart way to play the outbreak of fighting. \"Everybody was waiting to buy when the market went down 200 points when the war broke out,\" says Kyle Krueger, a portfolio manager at Eagle Asset Management Inc. in St. Petersburg, Fla. Big investors had amassed huge reserves of cash and planned to jump back into stocks at bargain prices.

A Farewell to Arms Issues? Not Yet --- Stocks Slide in Wake Of Defense-Cut Talk
Over the weekend, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said he expects to make significant cuts from previously budgeted levels in both weapons and troop strength. Some Pentagon officials said he was looking to chop about $180 billion out of the defense budget over the next six years. Troop cuts in Europe suddenly seem not just possible, but likely. The Berlin Wall could crumble into thousands of souvenirs. To many people, all this is wonderful news. But not for defense stocks. \"Obviously, these are war stocks,\" said David Dreman, a New York money manager. \"What's good news for the world is bad news for them.\" The defense industry is \"totally washed out,\" said Mr. Dreman. \"There basically are some good values in that group. Earnings are not going to nose-dive.\" But he's in no hurry to buy. \"I'd probably wait for a few more months here. These companies are not likely to do much for a while.\"

The relative strength of relationships between food access components and food insecurity
Many policies and much money have been directed at improving food access in hopes that it will improve food security, yet evidence on the impact of food access has been mixed. In response, we estimate elasticities of food insecurity rates with respect to separate components of food access. We find empirical evidence that opening stores in underserved areas, keeping existing stores open, and improving access to transportation are all associated with lower rates of food insecurity and that these associations vary widely by geography. In comparison to other determinants of food insecurity, however, these associations are small in magnitude.
