Nikkei futures down 12.5%

  1. Where the fuck is all this money going?

    Certainly not gold, commodities, or treasuries.

    If it was going to bank deposits that would resolve this crisis.

    +1 Nikkei future 7940

    Stop loss - 0.

    The liquidity is nothing - it's 10-20 up on the bid-offer, normally its hundreds. The options are 200-300 points wide. Totally crazy.

  5. More margin calls coming. Now expect massive liquidation and repatriation of foreign assets back to Japan etc.

    Expect Yen to fly up tonight and more selling in US tomo. More so with a long weekend.

  7. There is no trading of Nikkei futures at 12.5% down, it is locked limit at 12.5% down, last trade at 8090. This market is trading like a video game, just numbers, with no real value or reality to them.
