Liberal party (centre right) just scraped home a victory over Labor on Saturday in Australia. New York up Friday and Oh so bullish according to people on this and other SI threads. So what would you expect? A big rally in Australia Our market opens almost totally flat. Maybe that's because it's a public holiday in New South Wales <g> It isn't in Victoria, Queensland etc. Just checked - 20 minutes ago Nikkei down 100. Waiting to see HK. David

Think we are not at the "bear market" stage yet. We've had our "healthy" 15% correction. This rates as at least a pause in the raging, perhaps manic, DOW bull market. At what point do we call this a "bear market"? I think that's when we're down 25% and don't recover for at least a year. Any other definitions of a "bear market" out there? With the world banking crisis and Y2K coming soon, we could very well be at the start of a bear market and a really nasty crash. The problem is that we don't know were there until after the events happen :-( Yes,we have not had a REAL crash yet.Just a bear market and some nasty corrections
