Boy That Cool Cool Kitty Sings About, I don't know about the rest, but these two points: 1. Japan has to be the next big thing, the way everyone hates it. 2. I doubt that The Financial Times has the negative clout of Business Week, with its infamous "Death of Equities" article, but I appreciate what they have done for us so far. <g>

You should follow whatever your analysis tells you. Mine yields a different result. Message 17054536 Just don't go crying to me if you short this market and are crushed over the next couple of months, as the market makes a broad based advance- to most folks surprise and dismay. I really don't follow Japan too closely. All I know is that they're still in the eternal secular bear market from hell as far as I can tell. Don't hold your breath waiting for AbbyJ and Joey B. to shut up. They'll be right there cheerleading along the whole time. Only death will shut up those 2 stock whores and their endless bullish drivel. Only difference you may see is that they'll pound the table even harder the closer we get to a cyclical top.. TW

NYCboy- Have you noticed, however, that hardly anyone seems to worry that an implosion of Japan could have some harsh effects for the U.S. economy? I'd say the lack of concern on this matches the level/number of pundits calling for Japan to hit the rocks (as you observed)... Pick your contrary call to play, I guess...Given U.S. similiar problem to Japan (ie., markets way down, but the bulk of restructering dirty work and, in U.S. case, consumer pullback has yet to be done), I have hard time w/the Japan long scenario here...
