The Nikkei has erased 300 points of loss. There was a lot of this kind of action in early 2000. Things turned pretty sour for a couple of years.

Is this an "oil up" thing?

There are lots of comments along those lines but you can't say for sure. Many times rising energy has been good for stock markets.

If the NYSE threatened to halt all trading, you think the market would take a hit?

I don't think this is oil related.

There has been no such threat. The brakes have not even been approached. What are you short?

"There has been no such threat."

I took it as a comparison to the Nikkei, which did "threaten" to halt all trading.

The capital and financial account, which measures international fund flows, registered an outflow of 952.8 bln yen for the month, against an outflow of 1.370 bln yen a year before.

Makes no sense...

Looks like a lot of monkey business......
Someone is trying to freak out the shorts. With a moderate level of success.

I concur....

Soros?

I think they are buying into this notion that tons of cash that was in the market, was put on the side and invested in realestate.

What I see is gold under downward pressure and someone is trying to keep it propped up.

All you have to do is watch the ad buys by the goldbugs.
