What will be the biggest business story of 2004?

"From our part of the world, the continued economic relationship between the U.S. and Japan as it relates to Japan's willingness to implement real economic reforms and the ability of the U.S. to encourage those aggressive reforms. On the national front, the potential for interest rates to go up this year and the impact that may have on a slowly recovering economy." -Rindraty Celes Limtiaco, executive editor of The Pacific Daily News in Guam

"Continued erosion of high-pay, high-skill U.S. jobs and failure of the nation's unemployed and low-skilled workers to retrain to secure better-paying, higher-skill work. That will widen the wealth gap between the well-to-do-and the poor. We also seem to be heading into another big stock market bubble, with prices unjustified by profits. Didn't take long for investors to forget the last one, did it?" -Christian Wihtol, business editor of The Eugene Register-Guard in Oregon
