iq-- asia is still selling off, but they are doing so in response to US markets close on thursday. as i write, S&P futures on globex are UP. looks like we will have a positive open tomorrow. however... SOX should still be under pressure. it is one of the few areas that we know will get hit by SEA crises. however, i expect some to be higher since they will benefit from the problems, like MU and TXN. i dont expect the koreans to reject the IMF prop. they need the money and the reform. the 77bln refinancing of japanese banks will be a good start, but it is just that. all asia needs some critical restructering. the funny thing is, you hear a lot from asian business people talking about how they learned from the lessons of the west. how ironic that they are now going through the same problems we had, and some which we knew to be avoidable. on thing is certain. after this crises passes we are going to have a truly global economy. good luck to all, trey

IQ, Yesterday you stated that you might need to establish a level lower than SPZ 950 should Japan drop below the magical 16,000 mark. Japan closed at 15904. Hong Kong closed 10614 up 1.87%, Malasia was down 2.4% and South Korea closed down 7.07% at 350.68. Are we to take the 948 with test of 945 as the new numbers? SPX currently is up 6.00 at 971.30 so maybe the point is moot. Have a great weekend and enjoy the Himalians. George

>>Bonds back to 119,05 Hi Iqbal--I know that you indicated that you had shorted the bonds very aggressively. Have you covered your position or are you still short?? The long bond contracts have all made new contract highs today--does this change your view as far as the outlook for the bonds? How low do you see the yields reaching before they reverse? I went long the bonds yesterday morning after being short for about 2 days. Hope that you are having a good vacation

Ike: Hope you've had a nice weekend. Hope you've started you hill training. From a market perspective BW had a good article on the displacement of asian workers. Definately not good for the workers nor the countries economies. Here in the states (or at least CT) the holiday shopping season is in full bloom. The malls are packed but I am seeing some sale discounting (but can't remember how much of this occured in past years this early). Hopefully retail will perk up the market? Unfortunately (IMO) retail can't lead the market out of a downturn. With rates down we should be seeing refinancing picking up after the 1st of the year and maybe that will help for the next leg up. In the meantime Asia is starting to impact manufacturing more than people thought. Not sure to what extent but Judy read on the markets have been very accurate lately (not sure b/4 Oct). Hope you had fun and its good to see you taking some breaks. Best regards. Tim

Hi Iqbal, As usual, I have been enjoying your posts. Have not quite got comfortable with the indexes but am working on it. I trust that you are enjoying your homeland and the mountains. I haven't posted much of late as much of what I would say is well said by others. However, as posts are thinning and Bears out numbering I thought it was time to post my views.
