Haim; I looked some more at what the falling dollar indicates.. Americans see the S&P 100 up about 28.37% from 03/11/03 However if you are a foreigner and diversified you see the ^N225 up 31.4% from the same date and the S&P 100 only up 17.77%.. .the FTSE up 22.77% and the Euro 50 ( ^STOXX50 ) up 28.4%.. The concern coming from the UK may have merit, investors there have been more diversified on a percentage basis for years. They just seem to be more comfortable with investing outside their own country more than most other countries do. ---- Perhaps looking at a few well traded webs would clear this up as the changes in currency is priced into the webs. finance.yahoo.com^oex&t=6m&l=off&z=m&q=l&p=e50,e20&a=vm,fs,vm,r5&c=ewj,ewu,ewg,ewc The fear must come mostly from the ewj ( japan ) dropping fast even with the yen on the rise.. the EWG is also dropping relatively fast with the Euro on the rise.. Clearly the OEX must look like a bargain to them, but it's not really going up..so where is the Money going ? --- At any rate the above chart shows the U.S. bringing up the rear and due to the falling dollar it's just about stagnated.. Take off 10.6% of the gain on the OEX from March 11.. Jim
