[knowing] 17/1/2006 18:07

Don't think you can.

[clnswll] 17/1/2006 18:04

Thanks for responding Knowing. It's just that I have the Dow, Nas, S&P, Cac, Dax and FTSE on the monitor and would love to add the Nikkei. Cheers.

[knowing] 17/1/2006 18:01

[clnswll] 17/1/2006 17:46

Would somebody please be so kind as to explain how to get the Nikkei on my monitor? thank you.

nephin...what a dreadful day...but good buying oppurtunity coming up soon. Lots of people having seen the nikkei surge over the last few months will be eager to get in on the action, so IMHO this is a great buying oppurtunity and we should be heading upwards again shortly.

What a dreadful day.

arja-the nav is sitting at 358 but i think its nearly 24hrs out - will be interesting to see where it lands in the morning-should still be quite a bit higher than current offer.

[arja] 17/1/2006 16:30

Orvil,
Thanks . Actually I just noticed that the Nikkei tumbled late in day and finished down 462 points ( was up when I last looked at it !!). So that would account for at least part of the fall in share price today . hopefully , we will get a bounce tomorrow !

Cabinet members concerned about Livedoor probe's impact on market+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)TOKYO, Jan. 17_(Kyodo) _ Key Cabinet members voiced concern Tuesday that last night's raid of Livedoor Co. on suspicion of securities law violations could have a negative impact on the stock market.

The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, the nation's securities watchdog, jointly raided Livedoor's headquarters Tokyo's Roppongi Hills business and commercial complex and other locations, including the apartment of Livedoor's president, Takafumi Horie.

Prosecutors allege that a group company of Livedoor had spread false information about a corporate buyout and inflated earnings results in a bid to boost its stock price.

"Although it is not known whether the ongoing investigation will lead to indictment, we cannot help but think that the suspicion itself will affect the market," Financial Services Minister Kaoru Yosano told a news conference.

Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki told a separate news conference that he cannot expect the probe to have any positive impact on the market, though it is uncertain how the case will affect the market at this point.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe said in a regular morning press conference that it is essential for the market to move in a fair manner. "We will closely observe the case from this viewpoint," the top government spokesman said.

Yosano said spreading false information to boost stock prices damages the soundness of the stock market and it is natural for the SESC and prosecutors to launch an investigation if they have such suspicions.

But when asked if there were problems with the current law, Yosano appeared reluctant to seek revisions to the current legal framework, including the Securities and Exchange Law, saying the present framework already covers the spread of rumors and other problematic business practices.

"There are few points in the current legal framework to be fixed," Yosano said, adding the SESC is effectively monitoring stock transactions independently from the Financial Services Agency.

[arja] 17/1/2006 08:39

Orvil,
thanks for that information.

[orvil] 17/1/2006 08:19

No it is to do with a securities investigation into share splits with investment houses such as Livedoor, and profit taking.Or anything else the commentators dreanm up.

[arja] 17/1/2006 08:17

(Just happened to glance at the overnight performance of some of the larger holdings in the JFJ - Urban + 2.5%, Matsui Securities +4.9%, and Ardepro + 16.3%. Should boost tomorrow's NAV announcement considerably)

arja no problem. With that upbeat assesment and the chance for further moves in $/Yen and Oil it looks like another run could be on.

[arja] 11/1/2006 12:48

knowing- I generally follow only the £/$ and $/A$ currencies . Thanks for mentioning that the yen is weaker and may have been partly responsible for the fall in share price in last few days . Nice recovery today after strong Japanese market last night ! Looking good !
