Yes. I saw that as well - actually the point was made more by analysts and money managers than by the companies. However I stick by my earlier assertion that the effect is not instantaneous but could accumulate to the figures claimed using a run rate analogy i.e. 12 times the loss suffered in 12 months time. Also the internationals correlate with the US indices for that is where they sell the most goods.

borb, I heard Obuchi was advising all Japanese to stockpile several days worth of food in anticipation of Y2K disruptions. The fact that he even broached the subject publicly should be a suggestion that things may be a bit worse than folks are talking about. At least that's what my sources are telling me (and they would know since they deal with Japan on the Y2K matter at a national level). Going to get interesting over there over the next several months. Regards, Ron
