Stitch, I believe the Japanese have a "confidence" number (I believe it is not consumer confidence but Business, just hazy memory), what struck me is that the last report was a NEGATIVE number. Someone, check if this is correct. I won't even comment on the suicidal "support the Yen" action. They do not have much of domestic consumption, now they are going to price themselves out of international markets. Where do they get this wisdom from? They need (and I believe eventually will) a 140 yen/dollar rate, not 125 yen/dollar they are driving to. I think this is lip service to Rubin, who is pressuring them to go for a big stimulus policy to get domestic consumption to soak out the excesses in the rest of SEA. If they do not, the US will be doomed to have a $200 billion trade deficit this year. Zeev

Stitch: I received a request for writers on a new Website called Access Financial. As you and the many contributors to the Asia Thread have written what I believe is one of the most informed and entertaining chat lines, I thought maybe you (I use it collectively) might wish to propagate your wit and wisdom here.

Just one question: With all of your contacts in foreign countries, do you think you might be able to find a writer(s) for us on the global markets? If you could, I would really appreciate it as we are pretty desperate for daily articles on global markets. I look forward to hearing from you! --------------------------------------------- Regards, Brett Klasko President Access Financial Email: bklasko@accessfin.com URL: accessfin.com Phone: (609) 751-0075
