I guess that is the reason...

"LONDON (ShareCast) - The strong euro had investors fretting about the potential impact on exporters, with carmakers among the worst hit.

DaimlerChrysler , BMW , Peugeot (Paris: FR0000121501 - news) and Volkswagen (Xetra: 766400 - news) all fell as the European currency hit its highest against the dollar since March 2005 on predictions of further eurozone rate hikes......"

HK market is very weak today. Drop 2 or 3 more days and I can get back in!

be careful,,,, it may be the start of a deep adjustment,,, I start to cut-win now and won't enter before seeing 17xxx,,,,

A just-in-time adjustment for the upcoming IPOs...

5% adjustment  =18450,,,,
10% adjustment =17500,,,,
15% adjustment =16550,,,,
20% adjustment =15600,,,,

More than 20%,,, could be considered as a crash,,,

My first wild guess: it is ONLY a 5-10% adjustment,,,

So they may issue at mid price point instead of maximum!

I think, at 18,000, there will be strong buy-in.

well... I hope so,,, but I will draw 5-10 lots instead of +10-15,,, now,,, Cash is better because these few guys are not very cheap,,,,

possibly, but before diving below 18450,,, I won't consider collecting,,,

I don't know whether it may or may not drop near or below 18000,,, but collecting around 18000 won't be too risky, but room for big increase later is also low,,, BTW, buy stocks not index la,,,

PRC Govt. alone cannot influence the market. A lot depends of US and global markets. I hope HSI can reach 18,000!

If the down trend continues, then 18000 is not too far away

Down trend did not continue today!

watch for downtrend in NYSE DJ in 3 months...predict 20-30% correction...

Really? So HSI can expect to be @14,000!
