H James -- I fly that airline -- a real treat. But do they make money? What the heck are you doing. Careful H James. Malaysia is a very tricky place to put your money.

Here is another boring article about what those irrelevant foreigners are doing. BTW, did you see the Fed Gov remarks today about a hard landing? FTSE set for fourth straight fall after Dow slide LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 index looked set to extend its losses to four straight sesssions on Friday following a sharp sell-off for U.S. blue chips, prompted by growing investor fear over inflation and interest rates, dealers said. The Dow fell 138 points, having been down just 16 when London trading drew to a close, and even the though the Nasdaq shrugged off the rate worries to close at yet another record, London dealers said the FTSE was in for a choppy ride. Bookmakers IG Index and Financial Spreads predicted the UK index, which fell to its lowest level for more than two months on Thursday, would open around 6,320, some 28 points below Thursday's close. Rate-sensitive banking stocks were seen leading the retreat, with HSBC (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: HSBA.L) in particular suffering after a 200 point fall by Hong Kong's blue chip share index. ''Everybody's obsessed about rates at the moment,'' one London dealer said. ''I just can't see anything out there to keep it up.'' Earlier, U.S. treasuries took fright at comments by Fed governor Laurence Meyer that economic growth and output were running at rates that cannot long be sustained without fuelling inflation, pushing the yield on the benchmark 30-year bond to 6.75 percent.
