Sankar, I can summarise tonight action as VERY SAD, never have government or other related entities being able to manipulate markets for long.

Japan may save their banks for a while but awerting the true situation by market manipulation will make things even worse, there are no miracles.

If any one noticed Japan failed to open their markets to US airlines, in normal days this would had been a downer for the markets.

The timing is perfect as Iraq also expressed their "whish to solve the standoff politicly" another bad jocke, as Saddam will gain now more time to cultivate his microbs (biological weapons)he may need in the future and stash them in various secret places, or his own palaces.

Will see what tommorow will bring

Haim

Sankar, thanks a million for sharing your day with us. Do you teach any short condensed sessions on todays global finance? Now the big question is what action do we as small investors take in this environment. The fun part of all this is to figure out how we want to play the game. Lot's of opportunities.

Have a good week, Joan
