JTC: I got it figured out! Short term, the worse it gets in Asia, the more people hang themselves and evidence of corruption intensifies, the more foreign money will flow to the US equity markets. The problem with the Asian crisis is that of course the US economy will suffer but there is a significant lag. In theory, the markets should anticipate such events but in this case it looks like it will not until perhaps the 3-4 quarter. As usual thanks for the reading list. We should probably forward it to Cohen and Batappaglia. Pancho

Suicide? How do they know it wasn't murder? * * * TOKYO (AP) -- A top executive of Japan's scandal-plagued central bank hanged himself Saturday, the latest in a series of suicides by government bureaucrats, national broadcaster NHK reported. The Bank of Japan's Chief Director Takayuki Kamoshida, 58, was found dangling from a plastic string in a Tokyo apartment at around 3 a.m. Saturday, NHK said. Kamoshida was the BOJ's top manager and was also in charge of efforts to root out corruption at the bank and to punish employees involved in bribery scandals, NHK said. Kamoshida himself was not reported to be targeted in corruption investigations.
