Fleckenstein I don't care for. He's just another loudmouth who professes to have a crystal ball, and he ends up being wrong more often than not. He manages a fund. Other than that he has no credentials. I think the situation in Indonesia is reaching the critical stage. I understand the Indonesian president left for a visit to Egypt. His timing is impeccable: the masses want a piece of his ass, and in my opinion, rightfully so. Korea will be next. I don't think the president there has enough control over the labor union bosses. If they start taking to the streets and confront the military, it'll get nasty real quick. I just feel very pessimistic about what's occurring there and the bureaucrats in washington seem to be playing it down. regards

>>Well as I write this, Indonesia is down ANOTHER 4-3/4%! Who cares! Get a grip. Korea makes semiconductors and even buys some PCs. Malaysia packages semiconductors and buys a couple of PCs. It's a pity if the streets of Jakarta are burning and the market is down 50% in a day, but what the heck does it have to do with semiequips!? Not much. Not much to do with the US either. It would be a shame, but let's start another thread to talk about all of the world's tragedies. Cary Salsberg started one of the best threads ever, but it got too popular and lost its way. Now, all everyone on this thread wants to discuss is geopolitics. I have to read 10 posts to find anything pertaining to the semiequip business.
