Japan - expected GDP downgraded from 1.6 to 1.4 percent ? rebuilding should act like a "stimulus",although limitations on electricity must have a negative consequence.They ought to look at using thermodynamics to make electricity given all their volcanoes and hot springs,like the Icelanders do.
US futures down on Alcoa after hours - profit was below expectations.Also the IMF (privately owned by whom?) has also downgraded their Expected GDP from 3 to 2.8 percent.
Shanghai is up 25 percent at the moment.Shame we seem to have no feelings of self worth as they clearly do.
