When will theeconomy get "normal" again? Be careful what you wish for :We'veall wanted the real estate capital markets linked to US and globalcapital markets and guess what, we just got our wish.We are nowseeing the ugly side of capital markets. How severe are the overallcapital markets and what are the impacts on commercial realestate? What do you see as the future for interest rates?
