>>Don't know what happens if both rally strongly Monday and then retrace halfway on Tuesday - would we then go down with no rally?<<
I think that will be OK still. It depends on how big the a day Monday is, and the reasons for it. I'll sort of average out the two days and keep up on the news.
I was thinking though, that one major problem remaining is that International banks have looked bad last 3 days or so. They seem to have lost lots of $$ with Russia devaluation, and S.America market drop (btw...don't forget S.America...they have to make up some ground). I don't think it's a huge dent in these large banks, but it looks bad, and nobody knows for sure...so monday, I will be looking to see how Chase, Citibank, Bankers Trust all do.
BTW... after Japan's Finance Minister's meeting with Ruben last Friday, I have officially given up on Japan. They're only hope is for massive bankruptcies. The Asian problem can not rely on Japan whatsoever anymore... that's my take. China, HK, and maybe S.Korea will be the new superpowers over there.
Yen is down to 133.7 per dollar...wow!!
German Mark is 1.731 per dollar. This could be a problem. Germany and Europe have been pretty successful over the last 6 months or more by profiting from strong dollar. But, I'm hoping that they are more concerned that our Markets are weak from too strong a dollar. |
