Japan stocks tumble on U.S. data, rising yen
Market Watch ^ | 6/3/2012 | Michael Kitchen

Posted on 06/03/2012 7:09:30 PM PDT by bruinbirdman

Japanese stocks opened sharply lower Monday, with stocks hit across the board in reaction to weak U.S. jobs growth and Wall Street losses, as well as gains for the yen hitting exporters. The Nikkei Stock Average -2.03% shot down 2.1% to 8,259.51 in the early minutes, while the broader Topix lost 2.2% to 693.51, falling below the 700 level to hit lows reportedly not seen since the 1980s. With the Japanese yen up significantly against the U.S. dollar and euro, shares of globally exposed firms were among the leading decliners. Toshiba

Taking bets on what time the automatic ‘breaks’ shut down trading tomorrow.

10AM....10:15AM.....1PM......9:45AM?

AND

Will Obama give up his ‘official speech’ @ ‘Schmo Worker, Inc.’ in Obama Country where he explains to America that It is real hard to clean up after that evil Bush, followed by his three $20,000 per person Grip and go fest?

I hear you.

I’ve been feeling this crap for a while. The US stock mkt should not be where it is.

We all know this.

I’m no psychic, but I’m guessing that this week is the week to give the “tell”. Isn’t that a gambler’s term? Not sure.

We shall see.

A thing I feel much more certain of: Obama is being vetted! Drip, drip, drip.

Let’s see. Decreasing US production is answered by a propaganda campaign for a higher dollar.

Here in tourism land, there’s very little traffic after Memorial Day. It appears that the rabble says, “No jobs, no sale.” I reckon they’ll be stocking up on essentials this fall and winter. From the news a few months ago, many corporate/government moms were buying “black rifles” for themselves and their fatherless sons last holiday season.

I’ll just watch the picture show of interesting historic change.

The collapse of the Euro is far more important. I’ve been laughing silently at all the doom and gloom for a while now and been making great returns all the while but the fall of the Euro is a game changer. I’m calling my financial adviser tomorrow first thing.

"I’m calling my financial adviser tomorrow first thing."

Why? Just a little bump in the road, besides everyone has been warning about the Euro for 3 or 4 months now and you been making great money. Why get out now just because of a rumors of doom?

To see if I can ride it out. I’ve talked to her before about this many moons ago. I’m moderately aggressive, I am re-evaluating my position, if I have my way.
