LT, I watch all of the overseas markets prior to the US opening and have to agree with you that a sense of opening is very apparent! There are certainly time when I would like to 'sell' in the 'foreign' market prior to the US opening. Buying would also be nice! Regards, Ken

>> Watch Japan Sun or Mon night and then watch our mkt the next day... I think you're in for a shock (G)<< What happened, I am disappointed in you?.I truly believed that I was going to be able to short dell today at 6 and it went up over 4 points to almost 53 which is so much higher than 6.. Oh man why did you steer me the wrong way?? :( :( :( Frank

our market reacts more to Intel/Europe than to Japan (some of the rate custs in Europe were mentioned after market closed there) US Trade with Asia (total ) is 11%. trade has never been an issue. currency exchange trading relative to yen vs dollar compared to dollar vs other european currencies is about 5% yen vs 95% other -traders more heavily leveraged with European currencies than yen. European currency leverage outstrips yen tading on the upcoming transfer to the Eurodollar and heavier trade bw US and Europe. bets on the yen are mostly speculative and have little to do with trade exchange rates/hedging. riddles make us all feel more important. if you're referring to the following article biz.yahoo.com this amounts to $3.2 billion. not much in daily activity. so they've straddled with other currencies vs yen or Shioya's comments today: biz.yahoo.com the Japanese are moving more toward intl purchases of goods. strong yen means cheaper imports, lowering of trade surplus for US. some positive effects if you mean that another anticipated rate cut in the US could lead to US Treasuries being offloaded by Japanese...a rate cut causes the value of US bonds to go up relative to the value of the Yen with stable exchange rates. so this in itself would not prompt a sell off of US Treas of course, in down markets, ignorance is a presumptive way to handle trading, i.e., sell besides, Dell will be a key note presenter at the BT ALEX BROWN technology conference running Monday through Thursday next week. they told me this week, all week, that nothing has fundamentally changed at Dell since MD's last speech in SF on the Sept. 29 which was bullish

Lucretius, At times you seem to be an intelligent and informed person, but your statement, "Watch Japan Sun or Mon night and then watch our mkt the next day...I think you're in for a shock.", is both specific and ambiguous and just doesn't come across very well; and perhaps a tad condescending. Which is something I'm sure that you don't intend to do. Something happens every Sun or Mon night in Japan and we are certain to be surprised by it. However, if you were to be less ambiguous and state what you believe will happen Sun or Mon night that would improve the quality of your message greatly. Perhaps, you believe the parliamentary committee will trash the stimulus package or it will be perceived as wholly insufficient, or perhaps you have something else in mind. A few explanatory words to your posts would be greatly appreciated and I'm sure that you're quite capable of doing so. Thanks in advance, Jim

LT, let me help u. I expect DELL to soar to the sky tomorrow. So why don't u just cover your short at @25 or give a reasonable argument why dell should goto 25 other then that u want to cover or your shorts. just turn your shorts inside out and hang it up out in the sun.
