>>Japan in recession is nothing new. They've been there since 1990 and I haven't seen it stunt U.S. corporate profits<< You're saying this indicates to me that you don't know the economics that well. This time it's much worse. When/if Japan banks start folding, we will feel pain. The problems their are deeper than anybody realizes. This has all been coming out recently. Those #@$%^ economic leaders in Japan are a bunch of knumbskulls. Right now Rubin and Greenspan are more in control of Japan than any Japanese. Sure, this may blow over, but this is the closest we're getting to sht's ville. How long are we gonna push that shth*le ASIAN system before it breaks apart totally, and we have to rebuild it from scratch. Eventualy, the US will come out stronger, no doubt about it. But for the next 2-3 months, what will happen to stock prices???? If you don't care about the next 2-3 months, no problem ( I don't care). I just want to know a good bottom. The market works a lot on just 2-3 months ahead. It doesn't like to deal with a much longer timespan ... even though it does require the visibility. The reason Japan didn't affect profits, it because it didn't affect all the other countries around it as much. Now, take a look at all the neighbors. You think Japan is independent of that?
