GST- from briefing.com: Going Japanese 30-Jul-99 07:17 ET Given the less accomodative Fed, rising long-term interest rates, deteriorating breadth stats and a lack of leadership, the near- to intermediate-term outlook for the U.S. market isn't very promising. Consequently, investors might want to consider increasing their exposure to foreign markets. One market worthy of note is the Nikkei. The Japanese equivalent of the DJIA recently established a 22-wk high. Though weakness in the DJIA has weighed on the index in recent sessions, Briefing.com contends that the Japanese market is set to outperform over the intermediate- to long-term for the following reasons: Yen Strength While the dollar has the blues, the yen has shown surprising strength of late. There are those who would argue that yen strength is bad for the Nikkei in that the exporting stocks suffer as a result. But that's a short-sided view. A strong currency is a vital ingredient to a growing economy and a rising market. A rising yen makes Japanese investments more attractive, encouraging money flows into the country. The fascinating thing about the market is that you can be right about something, but you need to have the rest of the crowd recognize you are correct shortly thereafter to make money. To me, it seems that you are correct, and now the retail investor will come to recognize that your view is correct. That spells further trouble for the US market.

by Joe Battipaglia Chairman of Investment Policy Monday, July 26, 1999 No Change in Our DJIA 12,000 Year-End Target gruntal.com --snippet-- Our viewpoint once again is that there will be no meaningful change in interest rates going forward for the rest of the year. Mr. Greenspan's testimony this Wednesday and the FOMC meeting to follow on August 24 th will not signify a higher level for interest rates. The Federal Reserve is happy to jawbone the bond and stock markets while doing actually nothing about it. Meanwhile on the earnings front, the second half should be explosive, given that comparisons with last year will be easier and the dollar's relative level is lower. We continue to forecast outsized gains in earnings once again. The market is partially anticipating this, but what the market is not anticipating, is a very strong year 2000. That is the new story we are going to address.
