Here's what EWI's Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast Interim Report told subscribers on March 23, 2009: "In the March 2009 issue of The Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast, we showed how pattern, price, time and sentiment considerations were pointing to the end of multi-month, five-wave declines in most major Asian-Pacific indexes by late March.
