Nikkei Opens Lower On Tuesday

There has to be a joke in here somewhere -

What do you get when you mix swine flu with the Nikkei index?

- stock shaped sushi to die for.

- a Toyota that runs on pork.

- a fever and a bad mortgage.

- financially strapped shiatsu.

Sorry about that, just a little punchy here. My apologies, I'll never do it again...
