<br>
Brief thoughts on the MUFG and Morgan Stanley alliance<br>
<br>
By Michael Green<br>
<br>
Back at the end of 2008 Morgan Stanley and many of its peers faced a<br>
dire situation. They needed capital badly. Morgan Stanley approached<br>
several institutions for help over a period of 2-3 weeks including<br>
Citibank and the Chinese sovereign wealth fund for help. There was<br>
none to be found...<br>

<a href="http://www.japaninc.com/deja_vu"> A sense of déjà vu</a><br>
<br>By the Mad Hedge Fund Trader<br><br>
For me it’s déjà vu all over again. When I traded the Nikkei during<br>
the nineties, every market rally was capped by a predictable flood of<br>
new equity issuance by cash starved, undercapitalized Japanese banks.<br>
It sucked the life out of the market for a decade, confining it to a<br>
monotonous 14,000-20,000 range, until it finally dropped by half again<br>
after the dotcom bust...<br>

No moment in sales is more powerful than meeting a new potential<br>
client for the first time, it’s like being a superhero, you get to<br>
create an image that you are the best sales-hero in metropolis...<br>

<br>
By Tobias Harris<br>
<br>
On Tuesday, Yuriko Koike, former defense minister and aspirant to the<br>
LDP presidency, announced her resignation as chair of the LDP's<br>
special committee on base countermeasures.<br>
She told the media that her resignation was intended as a protest<br>
against the decision to soften the language on preemption in the LDP<br>
Policy Research Council's defense division in the recommendations for<br>
this year's National Defense Program Guidelines (NDPG) sent to Prime<br>
Minister Tarō Asō this month...<br>
