Hi- To buy equities in a country one needs to buy the currency..two major brokerages think that a lot of Japanese companies are cheap which would suggest a higher yen. Hong Kong was up 14 percent today.. Indonesia up 14 percent..Also from what I have read, Hong Kong is sensitive to interest rates..most predict interest rates are going lower here. If money continues to flow east, wouldn't there be dollar selling to buy those equities? Also major investors appear to buy at bottoms when all bad news is out whereas little investors look at all bad news and say how awful and stay away.. Don't mean to sound cryptic...just trying to say what I think about when I hear the news..re news..if paper is still king, maybe big time investors are just playing the bubbles and are hoping to get out before everybody else? Maybe small time investors are looking at the fundamentals and not playing the bubbles.. History always repeats itself..Down the road think your strategy is right!(Heard on CNN from Myron Kandel(sp) saying he spoke to a lot of major corporation heads and they are not worried about Year2000 and they reported their corporations should do well in 1998) Bobby ps..there were a lot of great posts last night..interesting reading!
