your top was in last Summer and people have had months to bail out if they were thinking The All Ords is at record high now much higher than last summer in Aussie dollar terms. The All Industrials looks more like the NAZ. Except in small stockmarkets like Thailand most of the trading and stockholding is in the hands of domestic investors. Therefore , while the perceptions of foreign investors certainly can have an effect the domestic investors have the greater weight of buying and selling. In nay case the US stockmarket is at a record high in Aussie dollar terms. Here is the S&P 500 in Australian dollars (month end): Sep-96 867 Oct-96 889 Nov-96 932 Dec-97 933 Jan-97 1030 Feb-97 1032 Mar-97 992 Apr-97 1025 May-97 1108 Jun-97 1188 Jul-97 1280 Aug-97 1225 Sep-97 1319 Oct-97 1306 Nov-97 1402 Dec-97 1486 Jan-98 1463 Feb-98 1550 Mar-98 1651 Apr-98 1709 May-98 1750 Jun-98 1872 Jul-98 1833 Aug-98 1687 Sep-98 1714 Oct-98 1778 Nov-98 1844 Dec-98 2012 Jan-99 2036 Feb-99 2002 Mar-99 2039 Apr-99 2149
