Fucking A - last night had a small position on before the news -- went to yoga came back -- saw the eruption -- exited everything cash/futures @ ~ 85.

That was the markets christmas gift to me. Havn't had one of those in a while -- usually its the other way around :]

How about intervention jaw boning?

This can't be good for their exporters?

Lucky. I was on the other side. Took some lumps. Goes to show the importance of being nimble in this market. Fear the CB.
 
The BoJ’s supposed Y10,000bn “intervention war-chest” is also small compared to the amount spent in Japan’s last major intervention, in early 2004, when the central bank sold a record ¥14,831bn ($171bn) over 47 days, according to Ministry of Finance (Mof) figures.

Still, as one broker observed, the amounts said to be involved – and the impression of new resolve on the part of Japanese officials, after weeks of dithering and hollow pledges – have for now got the best of speculators: “Don’t expect the hedge-funds to fight the tape against that kind of firepower at this stage”, the broker noted.
