Asian indices are mostly lower on weakness in Taiwanese semiconductor shares. Microsoft is developing a new tool to filter mass e-mails, known as "spam," that will force companies to pay for the right to send messages to Microsoft clients, the Wall Street Journal reported. Three bombs exploded outside a police station in Athens, Greece before dawn today, damaging the building and its garage and slightly injuring one officer, Reuters reported.

Asian Indices -4.50% to +.25%.
S&P 500 indicated -.16%.
NASDAQ indicated -.32%.
BOTTOM LINE: I expect U.S. stocks to open lower in the morning on weakness in technology shares and terrorism concerns. The Portfolio is market neutral heading into trading tomorrow. I will likely lay out a few new shorts on any unexpected strength on the open.
