Friday's market activities will more than likely result in a major
market crash, which will make the crash of ten years ago
look like 'small potatoes'. If you're wise, you'll get out
while you can. It's hopeless. After you sell, It'd behoove you
to give some of the loot to charity. Hope you had fun while
it lasted!

Here's an excerpt of the lead story from 'The Economist' Oct. 18-24:
"CRASH DAMMIT" If you're pressed for time, skip down & read the last
three sentences and then, SELL DAMMIT!

It is hardly surprising that emerging markets have
recently lost some of their appeal as a means of
diversifying risk. Since their peak in 1993, when
their share prices jumped by an average of 75%,
bad news has marched through most of these new
markets. In 1994-95 the collapse of the Mexican
peso lowered returns from most of Latin America,
and recent months have toppled one currency after
another in East Asia. Several of Eastern Europe’s
currencies now look vulnerable too (see article). As
a group, over the past dozen years, emerging
stockmarkets have under-performed Wall Street. In
principle, this does not invalidate the case for
investing in these markets in order to reduce overall
risk. In practice, it is yet another reason why, having
digested what they think is the lesson from a decade
ago, investors are now in grave danger of driving
Wall Street far too high.

For a second, bigger, reason to worry is that the
apparent lesson of 1987 is wrong: crashes are hardly
ever benign. It is true that the crash of 1987 did little
lasting damage. But a stockmarket slump in Japan in
1990 knocked the stuffing out of its banks and led to
a period of stagnation from which it has still to
emerge. The crash of 1987 was relatively painless
largely because, unlike the Bank of Japan, the
American Fed moved quickly to reassure banks and
to stave off a slump in investment and demand by
easing monetary policy.

At today’s valuations a similar drop in New York
would destroy some $2 trillion of wealth. There is no
guarantee, if this happened, that the Fed would be
able to repeat its damage-averting trick in the
present looser monetary conditions without setting
fire to inflation. In that case, history would repeat
itself as tragedy, and plummeting investors would
find no helpful coil of elastic wrapped around their
feet.

If life is this hopeless, we all might just as well kill ourselves
since we have nothing to live for.

BTW, if you knew the first thing about how the stock exchange works,
you would know that a 1987 style crash is no longer possible.

Come now, there are many things much more meaningful than making
tons of money. There are lots of good things to live for! Family,
friends, and working to make the world a better place for everyone.

----------------------- Suicide is a terrible mistake. Anyone
contemplating suicide might want to consider that when they panic, that
they cloud their minds and loose their sense of what is and what is not
rational. Think you've got it bad? Think for 10 seconds about those who
die of hunger in this world of plenty, they're the ones that have it bad.
Also, consider the pain that such would cause others...the fact that
they've managed to survive other ordeals and they can get through this
too...and the fact that there are millions of good people who care about
them as individuals & humanity as a whole. The world needs to be rebuilt
so that it's a better place for everyone...a true democracracy...we need
all of the help that we can get and we're all brothers after all.
------------------------------------------------------------------- A
great teacher who has made a lot of predictions in the past 20 years,
all of which have come true...except for & maybe/probably until now, a
world-wide stock-market crash beginning in Japan. He has said that the
crash will lead to the creation of a new economic system that will be
good for everyone, not just a few. An economic system and society which
is truly 'by the people & for the people'. He says that the worst
problem that humanity has right now is the millions who die of hunger
each year, while tons of food rots in warehouses.

----------------------------------------------------------

Psalms 82 verse 6:
"I have said Ye are Gods, and all of you are children of the Most
High."

Note that it doesn't say 'some', rather *all* of us! So have no
fear, be still and know that things will get much, much better
after the smoke clears from this great crash.

Actually, this crash did begin in Japan - in '89/'90 - with the crash of
the Tokyo
real estate market. The deflationary spiral set in motion then is the
cause of today's global
market meltdown. What might be the reverberations, 8-9 years out, of
today's
debacle? I'm waiting with bated breath to see if the 1.5 trillion
dollar per day
derivatives house of cards collapses in the next couple of weeks.

Also...does it seem a strange coincidence that a collapse of the Hong
Kong stock market
should precipitate a global economic collapse on the very eve if
President Jiang Zemin's
state visit to the US. Did the Chinese think that a little trouble in
the world markets
would give Jiang some leverage in dealing with the Clinton
administration. Did they
miscalculate horribly or is this the beginning of the final phase of
their campaign for the
economic colonization of America?

I would not say that a 1987 style crash is no longer possible!

Here are some levels of market indices that make this market still
overbought at todays prices :

Dj 5505 overvalued 130 % at todays closing price of 7161.15
S&P 667 overvalued 131 % at todays closing price of 876.99
DJ Transp. 2127
S&P Ind.Index 672

This market prices are calculated based on a stock market model.

All that is needed for a full bear market is a rise od intrest rates.

Ok, it isn't a crash you say? Just a $554 point "adjustment".
Sure.

Still think a reasonable value is cloae to $3000 for DJIA.

And intrest rates have to drop with a full 2 percent to stay in line
with the present economic situation.

However, if central banks decide to react to the falling US dollar and
think that the only way to secure future economic growth is to increase
intrest rates, than stock markets have a bleak future.

And where are you going to find room to drop interest rates 2%(!!!) in any
market??? In Japan that would put rates at ( minus ) -1.5% !!! If
speculators
take a hit on the market, that's no reason to hammer currency markets...
UNLESS you want to see real trouble!

The market has been going sideways for a while now. If the market bubble
doesn't keep expanding, then people will have to look at REAL returns.
That's
whats been happening for a while now.... ( get it ??? )

The stampede you think your seeing is merely the neophytes suddenly wiseing
up.
What's the ratio between price and yield these days... HHHMMMmmmm????

THE SKY IS FALLING... GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

for heavens sake. give it all to charity? If you sell off stocks that
you bought after careful consideration, based on an emotional nose dive,
then the charity you are giving your money to is the bear market.

I'd love to see documentation of how something 7-8 years ago affected
the market today. I believe in the butterfly effect, but this is a
little wacky, even by those standards. People react to current
conditions, not to historical trends. That's why chartists are in such
disrepute.

My understanding is that if the interest rate is high, the currency
should be high too. Am I missing sth here?

I included a graph below.

Especially in times of recession you cannot be more wrong.

Since you've got all that nice data, maybe you could augment
the graph with:

1) Real U.S. interest rate (subtracting out inflation)

2) Nominal and real German interest rate

Then XY plot the relative real US/German interest rate
against the $/D-Mark ratio. I suspect the original
poster was closer to the truth than you admit.

Without correcting for inflation and variations in the
interest rates in the target currency, I'm not sure
there's really any conclusion you can draw.

JMHO.

I included a graph for the period 1986/96.

The red line is the inflation adjusted ( real ) US/german interest rate
ratio. The other line is the $/DM ratio.

The regression, statistics are as follows :

Regression Output: =

Constant 1.4721672
Std Err of Y Est 0.1319303
R Squared 0.2220776
No. of Observations 470
Degrees of Freedom 468
=

X Coefficient(s) 0.3497191 =

Std Err of Coef. 0.030256

Look at the R=FD of 0.2220776 ( as opposed to a number of above 0.90 if
the two series would have a strong correlation ).

The theories in textbooks is not always a guaranty for situtations in
the real world.

Actually, I found this very interesting, and thank you for it.

R Squared of .222 (r of about .47) is actually quite good,
especially given the DF. Of course, you're free to form
your own conclusions.

JMHO.
