(Off Topic) Asia & Treasury

I was not aware that the US Treasury or the Fed is permitted to purchase S&P Futures contracts. However perhaps this is a rumor that has reached you based on the fact that in Hong Kong the authority is selling futures contracts and directly intervening in the Heng Seng.

Incidentally Japan is beginning to really sink. The Nikkei is down to 14460.14 that is down 2.735 OR 405.79 POINTS today. If this continues we are going to see some Japanese banks run out of capital.

The S&P Futures are also running -6.7 this evening.

The software stocks held up well today in the sell-off.

As you probably know Russia suspended convertibility of the rouble today.

I hope that Wall Street will lead the markets out of the current slump tomorrow but it doesn't look promising. Another early morning wake-up call!!!
