I have to stop this!!! My favorite bank, the Bank of Toyko-Mitsubishi, which Cramer said he was buying big time a month ago, lost 2.3 billion dollars last year. Go to www.feer.com , the Far East Asia Economic review. They will answer your investment in Asia questions. Note however that one investor polled by them recommended US Treasury non-inflation bonds at 3.78%. Yep a good yield for a bond and fully protected against inflation. As to Japan's financial institutions, they still have not done much to liquidate their bad debts, whereas here it was done via Resolution Trust fairly quickly, therefore, you would be better off just sticking to the Japanese export oriented firms that have had fair earnings in the midst of the current debacle. HIT (because it was beaten down) and SNE (Sony) have been bid up already unfortunately. But just check out what those Asian investment firms are saying after the bust! You'll be six months ahead of the curve. =============== Good luck with NOVL.

While I patiently wait for those guys making a bundle elsewhere to satiate.. and finally notice NOVL.. here are some more historical notes (for debate) on how NOVL lost an early entry to the Internet and its infinite riches:.. Caldera's origins date back to May 1993, when two Novell employees, engineer Bryan Sparks, and marketer Ransom Love, developed a business plan and presented it to their CEO Ray Noorda to apprise him of their intentions. The idea was to make the Internet an integral part of the desktop. Mr. Noorda liked the plan so much he convinced them to stay at Novell and put a graphic interface on Novell NetWare. Code-named Corsair, the project ran on Linux and produced a Web-browser that ran networked VR well before Netscape did. However, when Noorda retired, Novell's new CEO Bob Frankenberg cut back all projects that he felt distracted from NetWare, including Corsair. Sparks then convinced a still-ambitious and wealthy Noorda to resurrect Corsair as Caldera.... Anyone knows more about Caldera? Victor
