...Because there's nothing bankers love like low short-term interest rates. The short-term rate is the one bankers use to peg what they pay depositors - the lower the better. Longer-term rates, like the ones on 10-year bonds, are the ones they use to charge borrowers.

Speaking of Memory Sticks, that's the storage format the Sony Clie ($499) uses--not surprising, since Sony invented it.

If earnings come in at 51[cents] and growth slows to 22%, it still has a reasonable PEG of 1.3. On 2002 numbers, the PEG becomes...
