Jeezes, anyone think we really puke out tomorrow? The japs are down 374 right now or almost 4%. I wonder how much more it's gonna drop out tonight. For some reason, our own futs are only down a few. Should be an interesting one. I'm all short over the weekend.

The ES just ripped higher against size slightly below 800. I am net short, but that doesn't mean anything if my longs crap out harder than my shorts...

No, the "...longs crap out harder than my longs" part of the post.

I'd be inclined to think the Nikkei is reacting to friday's NYSE action, but, in this market, I won't say it can't carry over.

I tend to agree, as most times it seems the US markets lead the Nikkei 225, Topix, HK, and Kospi nowadays.

Just an observation. No graphs, charts, or econometric analysis on my part to back it up.
