Fantasy VIII Official Soundtrack |

has taken delivery of the Digicube "exclusive" Final Fantasy VIII Soundtrack. Each 4-disc music CD set is
bound by hard cover (like a novel) and includes a 10 page Final Fantasy fanbook that is
woven into the packaging. The book contains artwork, lyrics, a Q&A with composer Nobuo
Uematsu and credits for the musicians who participated in the soundtrack. All this on
heavy paper stock. A collectible product that will be a nice addition to any fan's FF
ensemble. Retail US$50. |

| The
dollar faltered a bit and stands at Y122.9 this morning. We look for a downdraft to Y119
before it strengthens again and heads back to ~Y125. |

| Ultimate
Bulletin Board |
 Our
installation of Ultimate BB should be ready and open for business on March 18. We think
that message boards are a good way to post answers to specific questions that many readers
may benefit from. It will also serve as an informal forum for information and other news.
We'll build from there. |

Great rally in the last session. We stood aside for the entire day and will stand aside
today since we want to see if the buyers have exhausted the sellers. Looking at
yesterday's action, we think big players got an early peek at this morning's unemployment
data and bought strong positions. Our bias remains to go short but at much, much higher
levels, which suits us fine. A mere two days ago, the SPX was at 1227 and currently stands
at 1268, 40 SPX points scaled in 2 days. We will open a single SPH short at 1272 if it is
hit. From there, we will use 1268 as a base and 1278 as an exit pain point. We'll add
positions based on the single SPH 1272 anchor. |
