Japan Says Economy Weakening; 3rd Straight Downgrade (Update3) By Ryo Hino Tokyo, April 13 (Bloomberg) -- Japan cut its economic assessment for a third month, giving its worst verdict of the country's outlook in more than five years as a fall in exports prompts companies to cut production. Japan's ``economy is weakening,'' the Cabinet Office said in its monthly report -- the first since September 1995 to use the word `weakening' to describe the economy. ``Exports have faltered, reflecting the slowdown of the U.S. economy,'' it said. The run of downgrades, teamed with reports showing exports have fallen, production is being wound back and business confidence has tumbled, have raised concern a two-year recovery may already be over. Economy minister and prime ministerial candidate Taro Aso said the government may have to come up with another round of spending to help the economy. ``We've got a slowdown in demand from the U.S. and Asia -- the two big export markets,'' said Chris Walker, an economist at Credit Suisse First Boston. ``As a result of that we've seen a drop-off in investment, so this was inevitable.'' quote.bloomberg.com

The other problem with posting the text instead of the hyperlink is that most, if not all, of the sites are getting some revenue from ad views or hits on their sites. If you don't provide the link, you're depriving them of those fees.

gfs, here's the other side. If Jerry Favors is for real..and you post his musings on the market..and turns out to be right..100%...well can you imagine the rush to sign up to his service with new restrictions in place? He is charging people for opinions which may be totally right or totally wrong..or somewhere in between. In the market extreme we are now in..no one believes anyone. I believe posting his reports will either make him or break him. PS: and LG, as you read this, you should come back and moderate the thread. As you said yourself..read by many and screw the self-declared non whatevers. Just my thoughts. Happy Easter and Holidays to you and yours..the market is a game...our loved ones are Life, The very Life of Life..treasure them..all of you...peace.
