BB, >I consider Japan a "wild card" at this time.< Yep!

>If the Japanese belly up, we will be in for a world-wide
recession

Anything is possible. That's why I think it is important not
to invest on margin and to invest in stocks only what
one won't need to use for 5 years or more.

At least we don't have to worry about nuclear war any more.<g>

Hi B.B...I don't know whether you caught Wall St. Week last night or not, but it makes me feel a bit more at ease after listening to what Abbey Joseph Cohen said. She said the Asian stuation is a serious one.....for Asia, but hardly a really big deal for most American companies and for the American economy. She especially likes technology stocks, mentioning INTC, MSFT and Peoplesoft. One of the panelists, Barbara Marcin mentioned AMAT as one stock that has been beaten up too much. Abbey Cohen is probably the most consistent and correct analyst on Wall Street....and she's still bullish.

Do the Japanese use REIT's as an investment vehicle? If so do you know the names of any that are notable? There may be an interesting correlation in the underlying strengh or weakness of the financial sector based on recent performance in these REIT companies. Just a thought but it may provide an interesting research opportunity and clear up some cloudy ideas.
