Totally. New regime hell bent on printing more Yen then has ever been seen before. Zimbabwe had a nice stock market for a while, too!
1)The chart I posted is the large Nikkei on the Tokyo exchange. 2)If you're interested, there are ETFs, leveraged and inverse ETFs for the Nikkei and Topix traded on the Tokyo and Osaka exchanges that are available through IB.
I could be wrong but it seems that the Japanese Finance ministers have always been reluctant to print, only at times to bolster profits ahead of end of year swaps. This time it's different, like a capitualation of sorts.
