what's this with Live Door? I mean, according to the news, they conceal 1 bil in yen (87 mil USD) and they bought down the whole JPN market. If this is a US company, probably wouldn't make it to the news.
I liked the nikkei at 16K. I like it even more at 15300. I suspect I will like it even more at 14000 and change.
Good Strong bull run since 12K with the last run up above 16K on lower volume signified upcoming correction. Big deal. USD JPY strengthened from 124 to 113.7 same time - retracement = buying opportunity. I just am not sure where I want to buy some more. Think it drifts lower before going higher. At 14K I buy, but not sure we see that.
I don't think the fraud issue is significant. Profit taking OTOH is what is probably driving the large sell orders.
