The culture of greed about to eat itself? Fine by me.

Most appear to be down an average of about 3% which is pretty substantial for ALL of Europe! They know our economy is in trouble even before we do.

Turkey hasn't changed for about the last hour, maybe they're not trading

-- Dzog (dzog@plasticine.com), January 04, 2000.

I'm curious why the Russian and Czech Republic exchanges arent open? Is it time zones or somthing else?

Maybe Finland is getting a little nervous about those Russian reactors in their back yard?

Finland is down 1599.58 points or 10.43% and all others are losing ground also! This is going to be interesting when our markets open!

Actually, if you look at Yahoo's world market pages it's very clear what's going on: unwinding of "flight to quality".

Many markets are up.

In Asia: Up: China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Phillipines, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan. Down: Singapore, HK.

In Europe: Up: Turkey, Russia. Down: the rest.

Big trouble? Depends if this is a short-term or a long-term trend being unwound.

Nigel, you may want to wait until this evening to assess the Asian markets!!

Maybe, though even the fact that Turkey and Russia are up as the rest of Europe is down seems to indicate a flow from the "safe" markets to the more speculative ones -- and most of the latter are in Asia.

In any case I got out of the stockmarket quite some time ago, believing that a crash was inevitable. That it hasn't happened yet I find incredible, but in any case nothing will tempt me back into stocks other than earnings getting back into line with prices, and history suggests that a crash (or "correction") is by far the most likely way that'll happen.

Too much wealth, greed and over pricing, someone's gotta pay. Wait until Greedspin raises interest rates a few times this year. I'm laying low...

-- bardou (bardou@baloney.com), January 04, 2000.

China announced a lessening of restrictions on private investment today. Perhaps it bodes good for all asian markets. Smart move. Nice way to begin to consolidate all the economic gains they have made in the past five years and to begin to assume the role they will play in the next twenty years or so.
