Good but does it really matter when TSE is trading at a such a low level?

This is the one and only thing that the Government cares about - money and financial stability of Japan. Looks like their propaganda campaign of Japan as a "safety country" is working.

November headline:

Tokyo stocks disappear down black hole.

When the stock market crashes - as it always does - the money doesn't just disappear, it has to go somewhere. I've been reading recently that large Put Options have recently been bought by insiders. For anyone that doesn't normally follow these things a Put Option is a bet that the Market will go down and as I understand it, are often placed by insiders to steal from ordinary people investing in stocks. (The same happened on 911 with the airline stocks but that's another story.)

It was also reported in September that insider stock purchases have collapsed from $100 mil p/day to $13 million p/day. And according to the link below, What insiders do with their own money is one of the stock market's best barometers.

If the above is true that means that it's probably a wise time to get out of stocks as it seems there is about to be huge transfer of wealth to the banksters/corporate gangsters.

Traders will also have an eye on Chinese data due Tuesday, including July-September GDP, which will give clues to the strength of the world's second biggest economy after long-term monetary tightening, Nomura said.

They'll also be watching this:

Foreigners Dump $74 Billion In Treasurys In 6 Consecutive Weeks: Biggest Sequential Outflow In History

10/13/2011 - Over the weekend, we observed the perplexing sell off of $56 billion in US Treasurys courtesy of weekly disclosure in the Fed's custodial account (source: H.4.1) and speculated if this may be due to an asset rotation, under duress or otherwise, out of bonds and into stocks, to prevent the collapse of the global ponzi (because when the BRICs tell the IMF to boost its bailout capacity you know it is global). We also proposed a far simpler theory: "the dreaded D-day in which foreign official and private investors finally start offloading their $2.7 trillion in Treasurys with impunity (although not with the element of surprise - China has made it abundantly clear it will sell its Treasury holdings, the only question is when), has finally arrived."

It is not so optimistic here in the Wall Street today. Still Euro is a big concern.
