This is really a huge step back to the troglodyte society.

Nikkei slips 0.7 pct, 26-year low in sight
www.reuters.com...

(Updates to midday close)

TOKYO, March 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average fell 0.7 percent on Tuesday as drugmakers such as Astellas Pharma (4503.T) slid amid worries about their global competitiveness after Merck (MRK.N) proposed to take over Schering-Plough (SGP.N).

The Nikkei booked a 26-year closing low of 7,086.03 on Monday, and many market players expect it to break below the 26-year low hit in October of 6,994.90 sometime in the next few days.

The benchmark Nikkei .N225 shed 52.76 points to 7,033.27, after briefly turning positive at one stage.

The broader Topix declined 1.2 percent to 701.70. It lost 1.5 percent on Monday to book a fresh 25-year closing low.

Gettin' tight over there...wonder what's next on a low closing?

The Hang Seng is up 312.38 right now.
Does anyone know why?

Just seems really weird..

You guys should have paid a little more attention to my model for Chinese dominance. Which is making it's way right now. They are going to open their financial sector and their currency for global reserves. Of course, this is going to cause a rush of investment in the country. America's dollars should be washing ashore by the billions and trillions fairly soon. As China becomes the new global economic powerhouse. HSI is a good place to track where the foreign investment into the heart of Asia is going.

I dont know about how many of you guys, but wouldnt that be sweet to wake up to a short-squeeze Tuesday..

I could use a rally of 2000+ points on the dow to loosen things up around here.. I guess since IBM is what now like 10% of the DOW if it jumped 10 pts or so and everything else was up substantially you could see a wild market..

But that could be wishful thinking.. but if it was with a monsterous volume we could start seeing a lot of things going our way for once

I see you found the Pontiac info.

I thought this was interesting as well.
IBM Layoff Estimate -4,600 today 3/9

and

from Jan 15th

IBM building technology center in Iowa, creates 1300 jobs
E-mail Business and Law By Rick C. Hodgin
Thursday, January 15, 2009 14:51

Dubuque (IA) - In contrast to the many layoffs being reported on in recent weeks, here's a company that's expanding and increasing jobs in some way. Still, this news sits on the heels of layoff rumors that could substantially dwarf any new hires seen here. Today, IBM has announced it will open a new technology service delivery center in Dubuque, Iowa, creating up to 1,300 local information technology jobs.

But my personal favorites that are - HIRING are

Border Patrol +11,000

FBI Hiring +850

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard +700

Lots of folks gonna be working for the government.
Looks like they will be the only ones left with any money -
Afterall - they can make it whenever they want

Bottom-feeders.

Big drops can bring optimism for the sucker-fish (the black ones are scary). It drop as much the day prior, a dead-cat bounce.

I'll bet there are tons of small companies laying off that don't get reported on "Layoff Daily." What stinks is that the ones left on the job end up taking on additional work to make up for those laid off.

My neighbor told me they have him working 60 hours a week (because of lay offs) and since he's salaried he doesn't get any additional pay for his time. He says they're pushing him so hard he doesn't think he'll make it to retirement. Same thing at my workplace.

Yea - And - it's just the beginning of the day.
That Dow Chemical/Rohm Haas Merger took at lot with it. -3,500
It's all rather surrealistic.

Sad Eyed Lady -

Yes - the little/er guys - not listed.
and lots of folks working longer hours and some at pay cuts.

It's got that slave labor feel to it -

Ah HA...

HSBC Rises in Hong Kong, Reversing Yesterday’s Last-Minute Drop
www.bloomberg.com...

March 10 (Bloomberg) -- HSBC Holdings Plc jumped in Hong Kong, reversing a tumble in the closing seconds of trading yesterday that the city’s government said is being investigated.

The stock rose 14 percent to HK$37.65 at 10:18 a.m. local time. That returned the shares to where they traded before yesterday’s closing auction, when the price dropped to HK$33 from HK$37 in a single transaction.

There's yer problem...

Hmm, looks like I missed an interesting day. That's what I get for messing up my medications! (Was asleep for 20 hours )

So, who wants to give me a summary of what I've missed? I'm sure it will help the new readers of this thread as well.

*Looks at Hx3 with googily eyes*
