Meaningless so far...but if North Korea starts launching missles at other countries (Japan, South Korea), then I think it could definitely have an impact on the markets.

Just saber rattling. It's no more than the equivalent of a child throwing a temper tantrum because no one is paying attention to it.

Just moving up the technology so it can be mounted on ballistic missiles and fit into suitcases, nothing to worry about.
Carry on!

It was not meaningless news if you were trading the Kospi overnight. Market went down 7% in a matter of minutes, and then snapped back eventually to unchanged.

why dont we nuke them pretty hard and while we carry it, we could by mistake drop one or two in iran as well. seems a very reasonable approach, dont you think?

There's very little that can be done about this.

Just try to be lucky when the sh*t hits the fan and hope it won't blow up all over...

Then the islamist will be right in calling us the Great Satan. However, this is the box Obama is painting himself into. Let it slide until we have just one option.
