From what I can gather speaking with finance folks in SE ASIA, the real economic recovery has been a lot slower than the stock markets in that region. So it is not unlikely that the financial markets in that region could falter. International banks did not lose a lot of money there, (due to intervention by IMF), but the positive aspect of the restructuring in Korea / Thailand has been that those economies are not levered as much with hard currency debt financing unsustainable growth. Hong Kong or Chines devaluation could upset the apple cart, but fundamentally the region is in a better shape to weather the storm. Sep / Oct has not been a good time to be fully invested in the market the last few years - I expect some hiccups again. You can see the buy on dip philiosophy at work again today. When valuations get as out of line with fundamentals as they are today , sell-offs like yesterday occur with increasing frequency (for no good reason). Any negative catalyst can take the market much lower.
