No surprise, Nakagawa's stimulus package = alcohol+cold medicine+jet lag. Now it seems that was not good for his own health and the health of Japan's Stock Market.

Japan nikkei 225 at 7600 something low, is because of the japan companies and nasdaq companies.

Most chinese companies/bridgestone/many others will be bucking the trend and creating the new future economic scenario.

Strong domestic economy/healthy banks in China and Brigestone tires top quality ,bucking the trend.

Many other top quality global products/services companies may follow in bucking the trend.

As a kid has anyone had the pleasure of rolling large stones off of high cliffs and watching them fall? Nakagawa's performance today was just like that. There is some perverse pleasure in seeing big rocks fall.

Sometimes a rock will get momentum and even before it reaches the edge already you know, it's gone! Ready? The economy is up next!

more pain to come for the global finance industry

An understatement.

Nakagawa’s resignation is a major embarrassment

Under the circumstances, we all needed a good laugh.

Pessimism in Japan is hurting the world's markets. Fact, asian markets open earlier than US... all this negative energy from Japan is dragging down the rest of the world. Japan needs to take care with all its "doomsday" predictions ! Japan should focus more on domestic opportunities and give up on export oriented tactics for a good 10 years. 'nuff said !

Really? It doesn't take an economist, man. Just check the business pages. Toyota, Panasonic, Sony, Nippon Steel shutting blast furnaces etc. That's reality. There is more ahead and a lot has yet to filter down. 60% of our food needs to be imported. Make plans, buy it now.

Hey, I hear hemp still grows wild in Hokkaido. Don't know if it's as good as the stuff you've been smoking but I'll meet you up there in a while, eh?

Oh and uh, yeah, we'll talk about stocks there too ;-)
