I like this reporter, whoever he is. He would fit in nicely here.. biz.yahoo.com TOKYO, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The following are some of the main factors likely to affect Tokyo stocks on Tuesday. Share prices are seen set for a heavy beating, with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori's survival of a no-confidence motion failing to quell speculation his days were numbered and disappointing some investors who had hoped for change. The U.S. Nasdaq composite index's (^IXIC - news) five percent slump to its lowest close in more than a year would also send large-cap technology stocks such keeling, traders said. ``Now that Mori's staying, the supplementary budget should be passed quite quickly, but on the whole it's quite a disaster,'' said Masatoshi Sato, manager of equities at Mizuho Investors Securities. ``It doesn't change the fact that the ruling party's slowly falling apart and, with the reformist side backing out from their challenge, there doesn't seem to be much hope left for Japan.''
