The tokyo scam market is pretty funny. Just when the govt steps in and says they will start bailing out idiots for investing in worthless Nikkei companies, someone exposes a huge scam in one of the most "trustworthy" Japanese company. Sort of reminds me of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart segment where they showed a fake CNBC broadcast, and they interviewed 2 "analysts" on air.. the conversation went thusly: Analyst #1: So, I see congress and Clinton are going to pass a law that will require social security money to be invested in the stock market. Analyst #2: Yes, I saw that. And I think it's a GREAT idea. Why? Because it means I can sell even more shares of stock in fake companies that don't exist. Analyst #1: I agree. Great idea. I'm the president of "NotReal.com" myself. I just made up the name a few minutes ago. I've got 100 million shares. With all this money coming in, I'm going to be a billionaire! Analyst #2: It's unanimous, we all agree. Putting social security funds into the stock market is a GREAT idea. Back to you Jon!
