would be an economist. It reminds me of a joke...
A Managing director of a large Bank was telling an associate that his Bank was going very well. He said "in fact, we now have three full time economists on our Staff!!"
His associate remarked "that must cost you a lot of money!!"
To which he replied "only if I take their advice....".
I think that the original hope that there would be a clear election result has disappaited, and the unrest in various provinces, plus the $120M going missing (apparantly to Golkar) from Bank Bali has the markets losing confidence regarding stability and a reduction in corruption.
Does anybody know? I doubt it, but if they do, they'd be taking pretty major futures punts as we speak.......
