Late To The Party? After 203% Annualized Surge, Record Number Of Foreigners Buy Japanese Stocks
While the following two charts speak for themselves, we challenge anyone (especially in light of existing positioning) to argue that the investing public is not a momentum-chasing, rear-view-mirror-driving, pack of lemmings...
Nikkei 225 performance...
Foreign Buying Of Japanese Stocks...

"Bulls make money, Bears make money, pigs get slaughtered."
I don't care about Bulls, Bears OR pigs.
All I know is that I just re-invested my entire 401k into 10 year JGB's!
I expect them to be worthless in two ________.

Well, the crash of '87 started in Asia, so...
Please don't insult the poor lemmings, by comparing them with MoMo chasing zombies!
I can't stop looking at the top chart. . .

For goodness sake don't look down!!! I rode a roller coaster with rise like that once when I was a kid. I vomited about 5 seconds into the drop.
some tard that got raped in the housing bubble and is in neg equity told me he just went long the NIKKEI....no jokes
it's a basic law of nature ... a fool and his money are soon parted. just smile and walk away.
Waiting for the Goldman long Nikkei note in 3.. 2...
It never gets old, and dumb money never learns.
Dont be Tardy to the Party......
(i love my wife, but if i kill her, it will be for watching this fucking crap !!)
I'm ashamed to know what you're talking about. Thankfully I ditched cable a couple years ago and she can only stream it on the computer. I make her wear headphones.
There's a sucker born every minute.
P.T. Barnum.
And two to take 'em
You know that soap-like substance that kids use to blow bubbles?????
These people are smart. Japan has the new global reserve currency. This is a REAL BULL MARKET. You don't understand what is going on.

Buy GOOD Japanese companies if you like the price for the Yen. You will lose money speculating. Value investors only. This is a GLOBAL RESET.
LOL
"the Japanese people have voted to spend their savings."
all it took was 20 years of negative rates to force ahem...vote...nevermind.
It took what it took, but you can't argue with the result.
They are buying gold.
And at record high prices as denominated in their currency... at least a few weeks ago.
Copper knows the reset is here and is now. Watch to see if it bounces off the 50% retrace of the 2009-2011 rally (about 3.05/lb). If that support breaks the next comes in at about 2.25. I can't see any instances where a major drop in copper doesn't coincide with a major equities drop. The only better bearish indicator I've seen has been the huge number of ZH commentors about a week ago saying they give up and thought stocks will never go down. Have faith oh ye permabears of the world, the reset cometh!
Saving that fucking senseless document for posterity. Holy shit.
1) isn't the Yen falling against the dollar?
2) Isn't Japan one of the oldest societies worldwide?
3) Isn't the disaster in Fukushima still unwinding and trashing japan?
4) Isn't the population still spooling down?
TES, YES, YES and YES! Now, you know why it makes so much sense people are piling into Japanese stocks.
Seen this movie soooo many times now. Boston betas spend about 5-10% of their time trash talking japan until these odd moments every couple of years (the one before this was right after the quake, which worked out smashingly) when they all decide that this time is different and then they spend the following weeks buying the same dumb betas that always get them in trouble, pushing price several percent a day, day after day, until the PM is less underweight. Then the shorts move in and hand them there asses. It is so predictable. Western mutual managers should not be allowed to buy Japan. They just don't get the joke.
"1) isn't the Yen falling against the dollar?"
That actually started reversing April 11th.
Do "foreigners" include "foreign central banks"? Because I think that is probably what is going on.
I think what's more interesting is the first chart against the value of the yen, they are almost an exact mirror of each other.

Good thing China hasn't stolen all the manufacturing and they have lots of young workers to save themselves.
Parabolic curve?
nikkei will be under 12000 by end of may or before. book it.
I thought retail investors were the fuck outta Dogde. If not, well then when they jump the shark they will be plucked from the sky like Air Jaws on a seal.
Wish I didn't have to quit my job to get my money out of my 401K.

DBTFP!
Check out the 5yr NKY chart....the drop off in 09 is the mirror image of the run up since Nov.
Human nature never changes......this will end badly as well.
Dreamliner 787 is still grounded....yiks!

So THAT'S why the yen is rising vs. the dollar and Euro...weird...
'smart money' knows that markets go up within any QE environment; hence - the smart money is riding this rise in the Nikkei...
but ya got to know when to fold them

With stupidity like this, it is difficult to criticize those who feast on it. As weakness is a provocation, so stupidity is an invitation. Caveat Fatuus!
Japan makes radioactive junk now too. They can't afford to upgrade machine tools. It is a sorry state when not even the king of junk, China, won't buy your products. Fuck Japan.
If you want it, here it is, come and get it. Make your mind up fast. If you want it anytime, they can give it. But you better hurry cause it's going fast. Did I hear you say that there must be a catch? Will you walk away from a fool and his money? Sonny?
