Thread: Sell-off Shuts Down Nikkei!

I would wait until the dust had settle before jumping back into I fund.

Good point. Anyone that jumped in after the damage on Monday and Tuesday is probably not to happy now.

Don't try catching a falling knife Rod. Wait for it to bounce (maybe two or three times?) and then pick it up.

The Nikkei will only be partially open for today. Now why do you think they would do that? Because there will be a huge rally? Because of huge buying volume? Probably safer to wait out this week.

I was watching it last night. It was down 850 plus when they stopped trading and did a redo to down 440.

I know some people are saying they stopped it because of buying volume but that is total b.s.

People, you don't go all-in at once. You buy incrementally. Don't blow your reserves all at once.

Thank you wise sensei.

Looks like it is settling... it's UP over 2% for the 19th.

I "dipped" another 20% in since there is still another 7% to be gained from the losses these past few days.

God Bless

Exactly

Could be a sign that the bullishness will continue. Might be the proverbial "dead baby" bouncing before smacking the ground again. They, do, do that in Japan I hear.

Tokyo Stocks Up at Open After Heavy Losses Day Before Amid Internet Scandal


TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's main stock market posted a strong recovery in the morning session Thursday, surging more than 2 percent on bargain hunting following two days of heavy losses sparked by an investigation into Internet portal Livedoor.
The Tokyo bourse is considering delisting Livedoor over the scandal.

IN A NEW DEVELOPEMENT, police said Thursday they found the dead body of an executive linked to Livedoor in hotel in Okinawa, in southern Japan. Hideaki Noguchi, vice president of H.S. Securities Co., was found Wednesday evening, according to local police spokesman Tatsuki Yara. Police suspect that Noguchi, 38, committed suicide, Yara said.

Noguchi is a former employee of On the Edge, the predecessor of Livedoor. H.S. Securities is among the companies raided this week by prosecutors in connection with fraudulent practices by Livedoor
