Would Japan be the first central bank to lose control?

[phantom_opera]

Is this profit taking or signal that BOJ is now losing control? Friday close will be very key ... whether it will confirm the 7% plunge as the SIGNAL of REVERSAL

Volume was very high (was it record high??) for that 7% plunge

To set the context, it looks like a profit taking (10k to 15k = 50% gain in months) but who knows whether this market has legs or not

Japan is having a luxurious last meal before execution (or harakiri). No more industrial revolution, no more energy revolution, no more food production revolution, no more technology revolution.

we need another high volume 3 to 4pc down day next week to confirm, if next week stable then should be fine

Is this the "C" which ah tan is waiting for?

Talks among the property people say next year correction of property may come, but anyway they have been talking for many years.

Japan is another dead cat just like England.. No matter what they do, they will not be able to come back... A wolf trying to act like a lion. The lion may be sick sometimes and let the wolf bully.. But a wolf is always a wolf and will be easily beaten when the lion are healthy..

I was very tempted to buy in yesterday but decided against it due to the long weekend

It looks likely next week is going to be weak

I agree. Looking at the new Toyota models, somehow there is no motivation for me to buy the same brand again. E.g. Some new models in Toyota have essentially the same engines as 6-7 years ago.
