Hi, RTs,

A friend of mine called me and asked me how and where to go short Dow
Jones Futures.  His account is not big so I advised him to go long
Eurodollar (EDZ8) instead.  I told him that the only way for him (small
account) to get in Dow Jones Futures is to wait for a rally-- if a rally
brings DJZ8 back to a level close to 8000, then go for it.  A stop loss
shall be placed at about 8270.  Risk is $2700-$2800 per contract.  I
went short DJZ8 on Monday at 8200, before Fed's meeting.  I guess I was
lucky.

Brazilian is going to have an election on Oct.4, 1998.  Latin American
nations have a tendency to protect their currencies and equity markets
before election.  After election, well...  remember Mexico in Dec.1994??

All of the above is my personal opinion.  It is NOT a trading advice.
