Submitted by Van Beek on March 17, 2011 - 11:49The March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan have a significant impact on the Japanese stock market index (Nikkei) and on the Japanese currency (Yen / JPY).

Will the earthquake in Japan change the long term trend for the Nikkei?
Submitted by Van Beek on March 15, 2011 - 06:33
The earthquake and the subsequent tsunami in Japan are a tremendous disaster. Thousands of people have died and many more lost their loved ones.
My sympathy goes to all victims. There could be even a catastrophe now with the nuclear power plant. But in the financial world there is no such thing as sympathy. It is all about profit and panic.
On March 14, the first trading day after the earthquake, the Nikkei lost 6.2% in value. Today, the 15th, at the moment of writing, the Nikkei has lost another 14%, probably fueled by the news on the nuclear radiation leaks. In one-and-half day, the Nikkei has now thus lost almost 20% of its value.

Get out of the Japan stock market and not because of theToyota recalls
Submitted by Van Beek on February 11, 2010 - 02:36The Stock Trend Investing system indicates after the closing of January to sell your investments in the Japananese Nikkei now. The trend and pattern in the Nikkei index during the last half year tells the system that a prolongend down-turn in the Nikkei index is the most likely scenario for the coming 3 to 6 months. This has nothing to do with Toyota recalling a few cars.
