James I think the Japan's fall over night off 361 -2.26% has been the catalyst for this mornings stronge sell-off.....as well as those in European index's. Friday saw the Nikki up 250 pts +1.58% anticipating the stimulus package announcement presented after trading on friday. Many participants do not believe this package is enough to snap Japan out of a severe recession. Money managers have been playing the notion that Japan's problems can be solved quickly in the same way that US and Greenspan solved our past banking blow-outs. Not So....Japan is just getting started.... This package was not stronge enough for many of these players. Money is going to flow-out of that country as Japans' money managers make use of the opening-up of foreign investments. Also the Yen went down against the dollar....contary to all the recent work by BoJ and Fed. Japan and Asia could be a mess for many years to come. Chip
