it can't get any worse


When you have news about investors fleeing or pulling out from funds in a bull market, i take that as a very bullish contrarian sign. I remain firm in my stand though the recent changes in trend in various financial markets has gotten me baffled.

Nikkei: Down as low as 2% as exporter's stocks were hit hard by the strength of the yen. Dollar/Yen remained strong in the 85-86 region.

US: Existing home sales plunged 27.2% in July. Numbers came in at 3.83m well short of the 4.7m forecast.

10 year T-bond yield:  17 month low at 2.54%.
