Rajiv, The Japanese markets did their own (down) thing for years while US markets rose to incredible new heights. Why should there be any more connection now than in past years? (This question offered for discussion, not as a contentious challenge.) Also, right now the S&P futures while down are not showing panic. Are you suggesting that further decline in Japanese share prices could lead to complete liquidation of the institutions that are counting such shares as part of capital? Does it not now seem that the Jpanese government is ready to manufacture as much money as needed to keep things officially afloat? Also, can't the US Federal Reserve just create as many dollars are may be neede to keep commerce from collapsing into a paralysis of protracted debt liquidation? Just trying to get a more accurate understanding of exactly what is, or may be, going on!
