Exactly WHY Japan should have kept it's market closed. At least for a FEW days. Did anyone really expect them to open on Monday and everything would be fine?

Only because it COULDN'T be open. I went to a conference in late October after the attack, and one of the speakers was a Merrill Lynch honcho who described how the various NYSE, Archipeligo networks, etc all worked to get the market up and running in a week after the attack.

Once it was open, there was a really bad sell off, hundreds of points down in the Dow for 2 weeks.

That means all drivetrains manufactured for US-assembled vehicles could be denied, as well as any electronic devices. This is a mind fuck beyond any mind fuck imaginable

Watching this very closely (In the electronics business). Not so much the radiation tests, just power shortages causing manufacturers to be shut down or on greatly reduced production.

Widespread shortages could be a deathnail to the economy.

Power can eventually be rerouted in their grid to compensate.

But any import "embargo's" will be the hammer upon that deathnail.

And I fear the Trillions of Yen they are injecting to the world economy is just money they won't have for the cleanup.
