food for thought--asia getting hit again and japan investors were net sellers around 9.8 billion in foreign bonds, sold 3.5 billion in stocks in march.. this is net selling in the last four ot of five months. also, the stock market moving with the bond market but as usual the stock market is in lose-lose scenario. yestarday-bonds got killed bringing the yield over 6% over fears the fed will raise interest rates. if interest rose it will make stocks last attractive and put pressure on the valuations. since the valuations of the market is a joke any substantial rise would hurt stocks dramatically. well. today bonds went up strong, rates down, because of a new concern that asia is completely falling apart and bonds are a safe haven .either way i see stocks are in big trouble either by rates rising or by collapse in asia . i think a completely disater would happen if greenspan raised rates since i believe asia is spreading but slower than anticipated and will not real hard until year end in first a collapse in europe spread into u.s. a rate hike would just exagerate the correction into a bear market. right now their are fifty signals of a top in the market?
