Barclays’i hinnangul võib Jaapani majandus neljanda kvartali jooksul langeda koguni 12.1%. Suure miinuse põhjusena tuuakse eelkõige tööstustoodangu ja ekspordi nõrkust. Lugu ise Bloombergi vahendusel.

An optimist stays up to see the New Year in. A pessimist waits to make sure the old one leaves.
-- Bill Vaughan
With only two days of trading left in 2008, one of the favorite pastimes is to make predictions about what 2009 may hold for market players. Some are very hopeful and see this nasty recession coming to an end sooner than widely expected, and some are very pessimistic and foresee further pain before we finally hit bottom and start to recover.
My approach is to not even think about it too much. I really have no better insight than anyone else about when the economy and/or the market will turn. I can come up with very good optimistic arguments as well as compelling pessimistic scenarios, but frankly, I find the exercise to be more self-indulgent than helpful.
What I do know is that the economy is in very bad shape and the stock market is showing little life. Most of Wall Street wants you to deal with this by being optimistic that a turning point is not too far off. Of course, they wanted you to do the same thing many months ago as well and would have cost you a huge amount of money if you listened, but being wrong has never stopped Wall Street from dispensing advice.
My approach to the market is what it has always been. I want some proof of change before I act on it. It isn't enough that someone provide me with some nice, neat, logical arguments. I want to see stocks acting like they believe that something really has changed.
The argument against such an approach is that you will miss out if you aren't fully loaded up at the moment the market turns. In fact, that is the argument, that keeps so many people buried in stocks that are downtrending.
My experience is that major market turns provide plenty of time to jump in and participate in the gains. Good markets go up over the course of weeks and months. If a rally lasts for a few days, then it's likely nothing more than a bear-market bounce seeking new victims to rob.
I have no idea what will happen in 2009, but I do know that I will be ready, and that makes me very optimistic. Conquering the market beast isn't done by reading a crystal ball. It is done by having capital ready, making a game plan and keeping an open mind. If you are mentally prepared for anything, you have already won half the battle.
We have a slightly positive open on the way as overseas markets rose and oil pulls back. The news flow is slow once again, but we have the Chicago PMI and consumer sentiment later today. Trading should stay choppy as traders are still hoping for a little seasonality to finish the year and are going to push.
