HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Japanese financial cooperative Norinchukin Bank has written off almost 40 billion yen ($369.15 million) related to investments in U.S. subprime-mortgage securities for the half fiscal year ending Sept. 30, according to reports. The financial institution, which caters to agriculture, forestry and fishery cooperatives, has another 500 billion yen in investments tied in some way to the troubled U.S. mortgage market, the Nikkei News reported in its Tuesday evening edition. The report said the bank may have to write off an additional 10 billion yen to 20 billion yen to account for the financial term ending March 2008. The report, which cited unnamed bank sources, said the bank was likely to post a net profit for the year owing to fluctuations in U.S. interest rates.
Or C's slice 'n' dice routine.
I'll elect to NOT fight the trend - but it would be too funny to see GOOG and its mates pull this market out of its tailspin.
