I just have a trial scenario for the 98-bear market, which looks as follows: 1) SEA has deflation and Asian currencies crash. 2) Asia floods US with cheap products, competition in certain areas (autos, high tech) intensifies. Hedge funds are done shorting SEA currencies. These currencies rise. 3) US and the rest of the world also wants them to rise. $ falls, foreigners flee US markets. 4) Japan sells the bonds, interest rates rise. 5) Kahuna. I prefer to be short/in cash now and watch the dollar. Too long to be true, BWDIK? -Vi
