snippets from my weekly report, page-4

Hi redbacka,

I appreciate the effort you put into your weekly reports ~ so thanks very much.

I understand the need for brevity ~ so your report is "south east asian" centric, but there are events occuring in US and Europe that are likely to wither the recent market 'green shoots' IMO.

For those interested: http://www.ft.com/indepth/europeanbanks, (The central bank takes measures to avoid collapse in Serbia) & another smaller country has recently been reported (I think Latvia? last week - was on Bloomberg) to have done an Iceland etc.

or http://www.ft.com/indepth/usbankearnings (eg "Doubts mount over US toxic asset plan " etc.) would provide details.

These websites may provide a more balanced view (unfortunately more sobering) on current events...
