Abegeddon: Speculators Are Net Short Japanese Stocks For First Time Since Abenomics
Despite increasing the scope of QQE, it appears the most crucial part of Abenomics has been lost... speculative faith that Abe and Kuroda have a clue what they are doing. With JGB yields spiking higher and now CFTC net speculative positions in Japanese stocks bearish for the first time since 2012, it looks like time's up for the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th arrow...
When asked whether he was worried about this, Shinzo Abe replied urgently: "Depends"

shit just got real
I know! Print more money!
I can't believe no one thought of that yet...
Of all the "1st world" nations that have their own printing press, we all generally agreed Japan would likely go first. Highest debt/GDP by a ton, imploding demographics, hobbled by the need to import all their energy since Fukushima popped.
Start taking notes. This may or may not be "it" but I would recommend paying extra attention to Japan from here forward.
Faith in Japan is failing. I fear the day faith in the Fed fails, too.
Settle down, stop the fear porn. This is nothing. Everything is good to go. Really get a clue assholes.
There is so much bearish ness out there right now, its almost bullish, if you know what I mean.
I listen to this guy from OZ ==> http://bit.ly/1fMcakI as his calls are very accurate. He basically has a great knowledge on what is coming next.
I doubt we see a market crash for years, accorsding to his study we are half way through a BULL MARKET. yes, so you can forget all those bears saying the SPX will be at 800 by MARCH 2015.
For now its the same, release some news , get everyone short, adn then take us up higher, to new highs, and take money off everyone. This is their game, and they are getting good at it now.
Yea...we are good to go for a long long time....invest in America's future, not your own, for the greater good
What a crock of US dollars
The rats are deserting the ship.
Being "self congratulatory", just doesn't seem right.
I feel for the Japanese & expect some really good "uncensored porn" soon.
Moving on... The Canadians are about to be hammered, if the $usd appreciates further.
"The Great Firewall of China."
Have a nice life Google...
Biggest Black Swan out there in FX-land: BOJ loses control of the Yen and it spirals 5000 pips in a week. Then another 3000. I've taken a look at this and we are closer then you'd think.
Kampo & Major Japanese Insurers are NET sellers of JGB. They(BoJ) have to cover their trades, to reinvest. THEY ARE.
For now?
and this is what the shit shovel "helicopter ben" has to say ---

Japan's biggest problem has been the helpful Americans like Bernanke and Krugman. Of course, the US fucked Japan (and most of the rest of the world) in 1971 and again in 1985.
And now these same assholes are fucking the American people. Sadly, one of them is bound to end up on the new global 12.5 cent piece.
Modern warfare has advanced to the point of having weaponized economists. Germany can gain control over much of Europe via the EU without having to fire a single shot and the US can do more damage than dropping nuclear bombs by instead having Krugman advise their government. Krugman is major WMD.
I agree, Krugman is so radioactive he practically glows in the dark! WMD indeed.
Maybe you're right, Lets Buy The Dip. It might be that the whole Greece/ECB is a puppet show for the muppets. I would not put it past them.
The best solution is to not be in the fucking joke that was formerly called the Market.
Take your money, and outright buy real estate that you can rent out or produce a real income from. Buy some metal, either black, white or golden metal. Buy a cow or twenty. Or just go sail away, far away from this joke of a system we have.
Time for a short squeeze.
These people are insane. Why would you short stocks when you know the BOJ can print unlimited money to buy stocks?
I'm half japanese and am honestly excited for the collapse. I will buy me a nice village to retire in one day when everything is super cheap over there aftwards
Half slant but full stupid.
Hey "Tyler," specs net short is bullish for any market, even Japanese stocks. Because if the specs are net short, the commercials (smart money) must, by definition, be net long.
Any trader learns that on his first day.
