Asian Stocks Rally on U.S. Economic Report; Sony, Exporters Up By Michael Tsang quote.bloomberg.com Tokyo, March 4 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks rallied, led by Sony Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. and other exporters, after U.S. manufacturing grew for the first time in 19 months, lifting the region's biggest trading partner out of recession. Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average jumped 5.1 percent, its biggest advance in almost a year, as computer-related companies and automakers made up almost a third of the market's rally. Korea's Kospi index gained 3 percent to a 20-month high, while chipmakers in Taiwan and Singapore gained after their peers in the U.S. soared 11 percent as a group. ``The economic recovery is much stronger now in the first six months than most people had anticipated,'' said Hans Goetti, director at Citigroup Asset Management in Singapore, which in Asia manages $300 million in tailored discretionary portfolios funds for high net worth individuals.

I think the market (SOX and NASDAQ) will continue to show upward strength probably until Thursday or Friday of this week and then begin to sell back towards the bottom of the trading range. Hey how about it! We hit 1800 on the NASDAQ and almost hit my SOX target on Friday. Message 17115178 Continued market strength throughout the week? This of course cannot happen if something catastrophic occurs before the end of the week. Interesting reading about the divergence between INTC and AMAT at StockCharts.com. Keep the good information coming from them! On the market... I just do not see us leaving this trading range just yet. An AMAT close above 48 would help a lot though! Thanks, RtS
