Why hope for the S&P bear who hasn't showed up when you can get on an Asian bull ?

Look at

EWJ Japan
CHN China (warning now at a premiuim)
TTF Thailand (I got bumped off this bull)

The Japan market has "Been down so long it looks like up to me" an old book title by Richard Farina

more if market ramps as expected going into July 4th, Yeah that was my rationale for dumping my gold. Figured I'd buy it back going into July 4 cheaper. The best laid plans eh! Gold started rockin' so I ended up just taking the kids to do some touristy stuff around town..

Hi DAK, life is certainly strange at near the speed of light, with S&P, energy trusts, gold, NEM, QCOM, oil, China, Russia, India, platinum, Indonesia, Japan all up, and with timber, Argentina, and silver all down.

... and oh, almost forgot, California doing an Argentina, even as lenders beg borrowers to cash-out refi some more.

OTOH, Bush is inviting the attackers to attack some more ...
news.bbc.co.uk
"There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is bring them on," Mr Bush said.

... even though he does not know who is attacking from where, when, or even how.

What is next?
S&P tanking ? ... possible, very possible, but, you must keep in mind, we are, after all, travelling at close to the speed of light, where down is up, up is up, sideways is up, no news is good, bad news is better, and good news is best of all.

Then again, I prefer to be tested on buying S&P puts when the market is still going up, rather then tried holding a load of S&P longs while the market is going down, eventually, aweful day after terrible night, again and once more ... or as Malcolm would describe the situation so, 'nurses running in and out' :0)

Chugs, Jay
