Japan Is Re-Crisis-ing; Nikkei Plunges 300 Points From US Close; S&P's Dead-Cat-Bounce Dead
US and Japanese stocks began to fall the moment the bell rang in NYC on the end of the US day-session. By the times futures closed 15mins later, the S&P had already lost 6 points and the exuberance in the Nikkei had snapped back to USDJPY reality (100 points off its highs). As the evening progressed the dead-cat-bounce died with US and Japanese stocks tumbling to day-session lows. Dow futures are down 110 from the highs; S&P futures are down 16 points from the US session highs; and Nikkei futures - not helped by the 19th month in a row of falling YoY base wages - are testing 14,050, having dropped 300 points from the highs and removed all day-session gains. Stocks are re-crisis-ing as USDJPY tests back towards 101.
US and Japanese stocks started to crumble the moment cash closed in the US...
Nikkei snapped down to USDJPY at the close and has now lost all the gains of the day....
As has the S&P 500...

Get to work Mr. Yellen!!!!!!
Holy Shit Snacks
Yes, it looks really bad. Asia (Japan and China), Brazil, India, Turkey, Greece & Italy & Spain & Portugal, yeesh! And we have our own problems, still unresolved.
Everyone hurry the fuck up and buy some facefart before this whole thing goes!
One thing I know for certain. The S&P could drop to 400 and Twitter would still be above $60.
Yes, but guys, you're forgetting that USD/JPY has moved like .0000000002%, which explains the entire dump in the Nikkei tonight. Clearly, that's what's driving things. Clearly.
Here's my live SPX500 chart with USDJPY (red) and HYG credit (orange):

In fainess, however, The Nikkei IS up on the day and is holding above 14K.
So does all of this global market turmoil equate to a keyframe in the larger story, could this really be marking some major shift in the status quo, or will this all fade in a few weeks as the dow resumes it's usual, steady, fed induced, climb -- odds?
SSSSHHHHH quiet everyone
does everyone have their Nikkei 13k hats on?
Its back up past 14200 again...but who the hell is buying this garbage? Im so confused.
The answer is 42.
alright I tried to wait up for 13k but Abe Henry just screwed us. Goodnight all.
well if it makes you feel better Doc I have borrowed 500k from family and friends to endlessly buy that stock to get me a sammich....and I still have 2 months or whatever to go
Unpossible!!!
Krugman-san has been advising Kuroda-san & has repeatedly claimed all would be fixed soon!
Look at Krugman's track record in terms of companies/entities he's consulted with or for! He's MONEY and A BOSS!
All Yellen has to do is ramp QE to 180 billion per month to telegraph a complete lack of confidence in the ponzi-system & that there are no "markets" anymore, and that the patient is so dose tolerant that he might as well be dead.
Get to work, Mrs. Debtfire!
PPT not working overtime tonight.
They are but they and their associates at BIS remain focused on ensuring that Gold does not begin to reflect reality?
This thing aint 'the big one'. The big one will only happen when an announced increase in QE is met with a shrug and selling continues unabated or only mitigated. That will be the market reasserting itself, and determining that central planning isnt all powerful
The big one will happen...out of left field...when nobody is expecting it.... The way it should be, dammit.
"Get to work, Mrs. Debtfire!"
MRs. Debtfire = MegaLULZdeluxe™
Whether 'S'he be sucking or blowing, the psi just aren't high enough...
I am sure ole Janet can suck the chrome off of a bumper. You can not get to a position of power so high with a mug like hers.
@ fonzanoon
Looks like Uncle Janet will not get us out of this one.
Fall gal?
Dochen grandma uncle Janet is busy baking some cookies. Oatmeal rasin. You can't rush great cookies. The wait just makes you enjoy them more. I just hope we don't start eating each other alive before they are done.
she uses QE brand self raising flour.
As far as I can understand from the lack of policy rationality, they must be Hash Brownies?
"Fall gal?"
Nah, she's also part of the Aschkenaz Club so she won't be thrown under a bus. This was orchestrated to allow Bernank to say "It was OK when I left" and for Yellen to say "It's not my problem, I just took over". I think they mis-timed it slightly with the Ponzi falling apart a little sooner than they had expected?
The fall back position will be that "We could not have forseen that Europe and the EM"S would be so weak", when in reality, the EM problems are merely symptoms of "The American crisis". There is only one answer to too much debt and too much leverage. And it is not more debt...
The only good thing about all this in both The US and Japan is that Krugman and the pseudo-Keynsians, finally, will be totally and indisputably discredited.
Japan's toast. Deflation deflation deflation. America is toast. Deflation deflation deflation. Deflation is the word of the day. Learn it. Love it.
And as a simple and humble man, for the life of me, I can't really see the problem with falling prices? They pay zero interest on hard-earned savings, so lower prices would be a welcome event.
The view of the Elite is, of course, somewhat different because inflation means more debt and more leverage.
Get to work Mr. General Odierno.
lookin good....lot more to go to recouple wit reality....

Ahh, here we go again. This whole thing is taking so long to unwind. Time, however, is probably NOT your friend. Prepare!
This whole move just reeks of central planners having some fun.

Just look at a 6 month chart of any US market, painfully obvuious where things are headed. Don't even need technical skills, just a brain. This will be no correction folks, we're going for a long ride.
But the business channel talking heads said that I should liquidate my physical silver and put it all into equities! How could they be wrong!?
Sell anything of actual, inherent value and go long Zynga, Salesforce.com, Twatter, PCLN, AMZN & FACEFUK with the proceeds!
I was just going to follow your advice and put my Yanmar 1401 D up for sale on the internet, when my wife suddenly remarked that the ROI on the Yanmar are potatoes, while the ROI on the stuff you advised are just small bits of paper with ink on them. I can't eat those, you see. So I'll stick with the Yanmar and the potatoes.
No hard feelings, I hope?

+1 for making me LMAO!
But, but, Krugman said we're just a few category 5 hurricanes, 8.0 earthquakes and tsunamis away from permanent economic success and full employment
Down 600 now. Is it time to worry yet?
Glock under the pillow tonight.
Are you going to load it?
If you do, what are the odds you blow your brains out?
is that you Piers ?!
A real man sleeps with his pillow under his Glock.
Am I wrong, or is Kyle Bass getting killed on his yen trade?
You are wrong. I think he went short YEN when the USD/JPY was around 80...if not before.
If Janet does not fuck things up we should see 115 this year, IMO.
IIRC, Bass put his shorts on when the Yen was in the low 90's. He was getting crushed when it dropped to 80ish, so as you say he's in the money depending on how he structured his bet. His thesis is for a collapse in Yen, so it's possible he's still out of the money even at 100+. Also, I don't think he was betting just on the yen, but JBG's as well, either shorting the bonds or buying CDS's.
The fed is doing a fine job of letting a little market fear pick up their tapering slack. Yields are lower than when they were buying 85 bill a month. One dovish statement from Yellen and the shorts will be on the wrong end of a monster rally.
The problem is that with record margin debt, too much tilt equals a leverage waterfall.
I'm thinking the Fed will let equities drop here as long as, unlike last time, rates do not climb. This time, their concern is more so about managing rates. If rates hold, equities will be allowed to decline. IMO.
I saw that dead cat as gravity was pulling him back down....
The Great Sinkhole has developed its first fissure and crack, and nothing will stand in its way as it sucks everything down to the bottom.
Hedge accordingly and stack some more bitchez!
Wow! Whoever sold futures hard after the bell knew where usd/jpy was heading a few hour later! Back in 101.20s territory as of 10 pm East coast time. Any lower and today will most definately have been just another dead "fat cat" bounce.
Meh, call me when the USD/JPY breaks back below 94; then it will be time to panic.
You do realize that quote would mean people have enormous faith in the Yen and think it more valuable vs the dollar than they do now?
Or the carry traders get blown the fuck out and the ensuing unwind sends the USD/JPY cross back to 90 while the whole system melts down.
everyone remember to buy some twitter tomm before there earnings release, i am sure they r going to have some great numbers to report, lol.
I think we might be running out of time to prepare.
Do not forget the MyRA. You have time.
The MyRA is a gift/message to the non retarded segment of the population. The same sort of gift that QE was.
Prepare? Didnt you watch the open to superbowl halftime? Your cue was in the first 60 seconds when the kids sang the wrong lyrics to 'Millionaire'
Those 15 pound mylar bags of nitrogen-flushed California Koshihikari rice that I picked up today (along with the 3,500 rounds of .22LR ammo I scored) might just be worth their weight in gold soon.
damn 22LR. i thought that was extinct.. fortunately i threw a few bricks back in the closet when you could get them for 12 bucks :) nice find buddy..
Nikkei needs to drop 500 followed by another 350 plus pt drop in the DOW to make me happy.
when are bankers going to start jumping, i want to watch it live

Snowden say something Will shake the world on 02/15 ?
Only if the press reports it.
Massive us air drill in Savannah for all the month of February.
Isn't that where Alex Jones' missing nukes were going?
It's good you're asking this question.
It will make a huge difference if - no how shocking the turn of events - there are millions of us ready to stand up and yell "Bullshit!"
AUD selling, gold bid and Futures down.
They need to install Iron Chef Morimoto as the new head of the BOJ...someone who is a Boss and can get 'er done!
Ya well Morimoto has been on Iron Chef America for 10+ years and they still have to dub in English because he's too stupid, arrogant, or lazy, or all of them to learn the language. Should put him in a fuckin Coke commercial.
Fuck that domo arigato Morimoto: The Mack gets shit done.

Mitsubishi pays $436 million for a building that cost $40 million in 2010.
http://news.asiaone.com/news/plush/mitsubishi-buy-tokyo-building-436-mil...
Zgangsta, not quite sure themath is correct in that artice. In 2010 the building was bought for around $270m US (using a usd/yen of 86.96 at the time). The purchase price now of 35Billion yen is equal to around $357m US (using a usd/yen of 102.01). Now if we use constant 2010 usd/yen than the purchase price equivalent is $304m US. Rise of 12.6%
Someone/thing stepped in to rescue 14,000. Not....going....to ....let....it....fall......
USDJPY down.
Artificial support. Reality says selloff.
Reality is what my portfolio value says it is tomorrow.
Nope. Not going to let it fall 14.1K+. The article headline needs to be revised.
