Where is NODA?

BREAKING NEWS

NODA has gone missing. He was last seen watching USD/JPY consecutively for 3 months. Anybody providing information about his whereabouts will be rewarded with PIPS

Please by any chance any body finds him then make sure that he is not awakened

The lastest rumor - Here is Noda explaining he is trying to weaken the Yen.






And here he is shortly after the intervention selling the crap out of it.

According to Reuters, he's doing fine watching USD/JPY:
Japan's Noda says will closely watch markets

2d old article but good insight imo: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/...77E08Q20110815

NO Damm Action

New rumour around: Noda caught in his office folding origami from the US dollars acquired in last intervention, instead of watching USD/JPY closely. The unpopular Japanese PM Kan, who's about to resign, promptly asked him to resign. Apparently it's a big hit for Noda as he announced his bid to replace Kan few days ago.

"I am watching the Forex market very closely and will take decisive steps" said Noda one last time.
Unfortunately, Prime Minister Naoto Kan lets him know exactly what the rest of the market thinks.

Why should he have acted last week?

The USD/JPY had a weekly range of an astounding 116 Pips.

We need to see more volatility than that folks before he takes any kind of action.

Hmm, I'm confused!
I thought this thread was about taking the piss out of the BOJ and Noda for consistent scare mongering and failed interventions.

The BOJ certainly shouldn't of intervened last week with the markets how they were. If we see another intervention in the short term, expect it to be countered straight away!
Only a noob would buy hoping for an intervention!
I've been saying that in the USD/JPY thread for some time now, but yet the majority seem to enjoy blowing 700 pips to make 200 In an intervention!

Noda is doing something fishy behind the scenes when the pair dropped to 75.90 they propped it back up to 76.5

Or it could just be standard market moves?

Oh my God! our Noda is getting Kinky. He is saying there is no fun if its not a surprise.

Really Naughty Mr. Noda

Can somebody tell me what is he watching. Its definately not USD/JPY

i think he is watchin USDCHF

I am hearing rumors that Mr. NODA is getting tired of watching whatever he says he is watching.

His eyes are shrinking, his head is spinning & he is about to give up & go to bed.

Can we all make sure that he stays awake & keeps on watching. NODA you are doing a great job, please don't give up

USD/JPY 76.75, that's nearly a 90 pip move from last week low of 75.90. Seems that NODA has started Staring instead of watching

All the humor aside NODA might be serious about USD/JPY strength but BOJ are not interested their arm is being twisted by Ministry of Finance, otherwise they could have taken a leaf out of SNB. If such a small & inept bank can reverse course for the time being for a roaring CHF then it would have been easy for BOJ to depreciate Yen. But for the time being NODA keeps watching

Is there a problem with Japanese officials. Initially it was NODA who was watching & now it is PM Kan who has joined in & we still don't know what they are watching. It's definately not USD/JPY

NODA has resurfaced again & he will be the new PM. I hope he gets no time to watch

NODA is now the PM & he has got another goof to watch USD/JPY. I hope he does a good job watching the pair
