Late-Night Trading
Asian indices are mostly lower, with Taiwan's TWSE Index falling substantially. Losses range from -1.0% to -2.0%. Taiwan is down 6.7%.
S&P 500 indicated -.10%.
NASDAQ indicated -.14%.

BOTTOM LINE: Weakness in Asia will likely result in morning losses for U.S. stocks. I will closely monitor the breadth and volume readings on any gap down open. I will not sell into any substantial weakness in the morning. However, I will make a decision later in the day on whether or not to cut market exposure substantially. The Portfolio is currently 100% net long.
