you forgot the social aspects...but let's not get into that. too painful to think about. one thing: Japan has shown how brutally persistent post-bubble bears can be...think anyone in Japan still thinks about the Nikkei making new highs? of course this could be different...better, or worse. on a large scale time frame, since the '69-'82 bear period involved a sort of flat wave down-up-down-up-down-up sequence, the next sequence should be more like the '30's, or the post South Sea bubble period in England, i.e. 'wipe-out', or down-down-down-down sequence. no way to know for sure...but a 1-century chart of the stock market suggests that may be in store. i personally hope NOT. we SHOULD be able to stop the rot before it gets too extreme, unless a whole lot of things go wrong. anyone notice, another jump in the CRB...i've a feeling commodities are beginning to foresee coming TL for the frizzlebun.

Patron, re# 3. (Staff cutbacks on CNBC). When we lived in Manila in 96 and 97 there was an excellent show there on local cable called "PSE Live" (Philippine Stock Exchange) based somewhat on the CNBC model but really done well,, with interviews with the local brokers, company officials and the like. And of course you got real time market info (via a camera that scanned the electronic "big board" above the exchange floor in the brand new home for the PSE in Makati). The Philippine market was the best performing market in the world for the year 1993 and even four years later was still pretty hot, but strickly a traders market; not for "buy and hold". Of course since then it has been in the dumps and is now trading at 1992 or lower levels. In 96 you could go to the "visitors gallery" above the exchange floor and rent a work station by the day and "daytrade" while looking at the big board across the room, or you could do it from home by phone as many did while watching "PSE Live". Now, according to an e-mail from a buddy over there the show has been permanently cancelled. It seems that the network that carried it (Ch 13) is partly government owned and there has been concern about the big losses that small time traders have taken in recent years and that the government didn't want to encourage the activity.
