Sun, You call 2% Kamikaze?! When it is at a critical point yes. A Nikkei below 13,000 can cause a chain reaction that will bring down the entire banking sector in Japan.

''We're setting up for another nasty day of declines.'' At 0816 EDT/1216 GMT, the December contracts for the S&P futures were off 19.90 at 1006.20. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was expected to drop 120-130 points at the start of trading, and analysts said the index could soon again test the lows of its trading range. ''We're seeing the demise of the big blue chips,'' said Larry Wachtel, a Prudential Securities analyst. I think there is better money to be made shorting KO, G, PG and the rest of that gang than MU. Sun Tzu P.S. As always, some true believers in my power to move markets will accuse me of hyping my senseless longs and FUDing my shorts.
