The latest data shows that HK directors remain “aggressive” sellers of their own companies:

Is this showing, along with U.S. shareholders as Ian pointed out, that stocks are being sold more than bought? And if so, and the markets are going up, then the only other thing that could have markets go up while there is more selling than buying is inflation as inflation directly impacts that markets all the time but I can't quite sort it out without knowing if there is buying or selling going on overwhelmingly. But since we know now, then the culprit is inflation. And we know there is a ton of dollars out there.

sellers are outnumbering buyers yes..and the mkt goes up..remember that piece i did on blackrock..taking out 5% stakes in 1800 companies..thats a hell of a lot of money..are the us govt propping the mkt using vehicles like blackrock to buy shares?

maybe. I need to find out how inflation effects the stock market. Because it does, but I don't know how long it takes. But with firms getting bailouts, inflation will hit big stock market firms on Wall Street very fast. Maybe I can find something out about this. It's a big illusion, inflation. It will make it look good on Wall Street when the underlying theme though is more sellers than buyers. It's bidding time. How long have sellers been out-numbering buyers?

My Shanghai futures broker gave me the same information. Stocks will fall in the next 2-3 months or so. Look for Shanghai index to rebound during expo (from May to October) then drop off a cliff sometime after..

Now is not the time to put money into the Shanghai Composite Index as the Chinese stock market looks set to fall for the next several months, Robin Griffiths, technical strategist from Cazenove Capital, told CNBC Monday.

"I think in several months time there will be a jolly-good buying opportunity when the short term on the chart will be back in step with the longer-term story of the market place," Griffiths said.

Japanese politicians are ready to crap in their pants. They are fretting about deflation. The problem here of course is that they are out of ammunition.
Japan finance minister pushes BoJ over deflation
(AFP) – 21 hours ago

TOKYO — Japanese Finance Minister Naoto Kan put further pressure on the Bank of Japan Tuesday, telling it to do its part to fight deflation.

The Bank of Japan has already slashed interest rates to just 0.1 percent and pumped trillions of yen into the financial system to boost the economy.

No more bullets !! Look for Japanese yen to depreciate significantly against the USD in the upcoming months to stimulate her export. 2010 is the year that USD will rebound against other currencies (yen, euro and etc..) in the USD index. The other currencies which are "pegged" to the USD (yuan, won, Taiwanese dollar, Brazilian Real and others) will probably undergo major revaluation. Hopefully you guys can understand what I am talking about....

I believe I do though I'm not up to speed on monetary policy.
Japan's currency deflating (shrinking), because they can't inflate (print more) anymore? Therefore it being tied to USD, and other currencies tied to USD, so, all currencies will need to adjust their printing measures?

Population of most G7/G8 countries (especially Japan) is getting "grayer" by the year. Consumers of developed nations will tend to spend less as a result of it. No surprise here since older consumers tend to hold on to cash much more so than the younger generation as their earning power will decrease upon retirement. I myself belongs to the end of "boomer" generation, so I know how that feels. Basically younger population of developing countries (BRIC and many ARAB nations) will have to spend more-via internal demand- to keep the world economies afloat. Currency revaluation is one way of giving the younger potential consumers more buying power. This goes with the theme of NWO.

Japan is a small Island nation with most of her natural resources depleted-unlike Australia. So they have to keep the currency weak to stimulate her export. Hope that helps.

From the looks of the graph... It looks as if there was extreme buying during the initial drop in 2008.

Just an observation, as i know nothing about trading..

But you would think, selling pressure would = downside, and vice versa.. So the question remains, WHO'S buying all these shares that the insiders are dumping? They have to have time probably to make the "losers" feel all cuddly and good inside before the carpet gets yanked from under them? I dunno lol..

FED and its frontmen are the buyers of last resort..LOL

The mother of all the bubbles...

In February 2009, Robert Prechter of Elliott Wave International predicted a market rally that would be "sharp and scary for anyone who is short."
In recent months, Prechter returned to more familiar territory, declaring here in November the market was in a "topping area."

A few weeks ago, the veteran market watcher told the Society of Technical Analysts in London that a "grand, super-cycle top" is at hand, The WSJ reported.

"What has happened is a complete change in psychology from extreme negativity [a year ago] to extreme optimism" heading into the market's recent top in January, Prechter says.

My wife also sold all her Taiwanese shares as well in light of this good news...
Taiwan’s Economy Exits Recession on Global Recovery (Update3)

Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan’s economy exited the deepest recession on record last quarter as the global recovery spurred demand for the island’s semiconductors and mobile phones.

The emergence of the world economy from the worst slump since World War II encouraged companies in Taiwan, where exports equal half of GDP, to boost production and hire more workers. President Ma Ying-jeou is negotiating a trade accord with China that would cut import duties on Taiwanese goods in the world’s fastest-growing major economy and help cement the recovery.

good move..tai looks in trouble

Interesting development to say the least...Deception before the day of reckoning ?? I meant Beijing acting as a frontman/shill buyer for the fed...or Beijing could be making it harder for Washington to carry out its war plans ??
China may be hiding US Treasury bonds: experts
http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/100226/1/4svp0.html

China, a top owner of US government debt, appears to be secretly buying bonds via third locations to hide its importance as a major creditor to Washington, experts told a congressional forum Thursday. They said China-linked entities may be scooping up US bonds in London, Hong Kong or other locations, pointing out that official data almost certainly understates Beijing's US government debt holdings. Some say the massive holdings by China have implications for US national security, making it harder for Washington to carry out policies in conflict with Beijing.

." Any dumping of Treasury bonds could lead to a sharp fall in bond prices and the value of the greenback, incurring massive capital losses on the Asian giant owning the large bond holdings. "But the US leaves itself vulnerable as China might well view these costs as worth bearing in order to preserve its national sovereignty or if trade and other economic disputes with the US came to a head," said Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University. Republican congressman Frank Wolf told the panel that the situation is bad for US security. "China is among our biggest 'bankers,'" he said. "The implications of US debt to China are many and wide-ranging, encompassing everything from our national security to our ability to advocate for repressed and persecuted people."
