Uncle Buck- Spoo-Hoo's- Globex Flash Quotes Link From Bloomberg Japanese Stocks Seen Falling, Led by Honda Motor; Sony May Extend Slide Japanese stocks may fall, led by exporters such as Honda Motor Co., after a U.S. government report showed the world's largest economy grew at a slower pace in the first quarter than some economists expected.

But aggressive selling may be curbed ahead of a national holiday on Tuesday, and investors will likely take a wait-and-see stance before a slew of earnings reports due after the close from blue chips including Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.

Guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Ok, well we got a bearish one here today, finally.... It was a bit of a willy-nilly type selloff with the All Ords closing in a support zone so a bounce tomorrow not out of the question. The intraday action was basically a fall at the open and sideways thereafter, normally a bearish setup. In other words the jury's out. I would have liked to buy another put but the market just dropped toooo fast on open to get involved. The golds were dragged down in line with the general market: LHG -2.2% NCM -1.2% NEM -2.0% Asia off the lows, let's see what Europe does...

The brown one Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 On EuroCrapvision this morning a fundmanager(fund of funds,methinks) Peter Toogood answered an email from an "investor". The emailer posed the question "shouldn't the S&P head higher now as it trades on 17x earnings,and the inverse of 17 makes it cheaper than bonds also the fact that quite a number of stocks are now trading above their 200ma?" Interesting to note that there are obviously enough sheeple who still think this way-in three years of bear they have learned nothing! Peter Toogood's answer was that the S&P was also at 17x earnings when the FED rate was at 12%.Since then, it has come down to approx. 4% in the longest bull market for bonds the market has ever known.If inflation comes, then the inverse of earnings will make the S&P more expensive than it already is, and if bond yeilds decline further then it's Nippon here we come. He didn't even mention that the S&P at 17x earnings is just another fantasy figure dreamed up by the shills. He further went on to say that in his discussions with hedgehogs,they all got killed in March except possibly some macrofunds.While the volatility of the whole market is relatively low,the intra-day volatility of individual stocks is extremely high and that blows up their hedges.

longOnUranus Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 ``The drop sends an important message: that the end of the war in Iraq doesn't solve the economic problems,'' said Jacques Cailloux.... No joke, Jack. I thought you French felt the start of the war caused the economic problems. At least one thing Bush agrees with you on. btw- goldza poppin', up 1.40. Maybe HUI/XAU will turn, but I won't hold my breath. Also raining on the Iraq Victory parade today: (CNN) "The U.S. says it will confer with its allies about the possibility of U.N. sanctions on North Korea in an effort to force it to give up its nuclear plans. North Korea says any international sanctions would effectively be a declaration of war. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
