Are you deliberately deceiving people or simply refuse to check dates?

But you are right - there are people that saw those videos that haven't been trading that long that could have thought those were live pictures. Let that be a lesson in checking things you see online.

The last earthquake (2011) was a 9 magnitude megathrust this one today is a 7, so about 100 times weaker in terms of shakes and 1000 times weaker in energy released.

It's interesting... Ever since that one tsunami years back that took the world by surprise, it seems every time there is an earthquake now the threat of a tsunami appears, ...and guess what ..there is never a major a tsunami to be seen. This has to be the 35th earthquake where they put a tsunami warning out and nothing happens......
Is this the big event that's going to surprise the markets....heck if the BREXIT and Trump becoming president didn't do it, this is just another news event that will only boost market returns....get long all Japan indexes, another 10% rally is in the cards by first quarter 2017!!!
