When I said asia is discounted, I meant everyone else besides JAPAN>>>> well then I guess I disagree with you japan is not isolated from Asia...you cant discount the rest of asia in the market and still be concerned about Japan...because Japan will effect asia... they are interconnected..... You cant say...Mr Market has already discounted hong Kong or China...when Japan's crisis could and will effect hong kong and China...and could create a depegging situation There is too much interconnection to me to say all the rest of Asia is discounted in the market but Japan is not.... I GUARANTEE YOU that if China or Hong Kong depegged/devalued....there would be an effect in our market
