Mishap means millions for lucky Japanese investor
TOKYO (Reuters) - One lucky Japanese investor may have pocketed as much as $5 million (2.8 million pounds) from a stock trading mishap that has embarrassed one of the country's biggest brokers and prompted calls for fair play in markets.
According to statements filed with the Ministry of Finance, 24-year-old Tetsuya Ichimura bought 2.81 billion yen (13.7 million pounds) worth of shares in staffing firm J-Com Co. on December 8, the day a trader's error saw broker Mizuho Securities offer the shares at 1 yen each instead of 610,000 yen.
Ichimura, described as an executive in a Tokyo-based partnership, later sold the shares back to Mizuho for 3.38 billion yen under a settlement enforced by the Tokyo Stock Exchange's clearing house.
That would leave him a profit of more than 560 million yen.
Swiss investment bank UBS made roughly $100 million from the error and several other brokerages also profited, but Ichimura's windfall was the largest reported by an individual.
While UBS and others are considering handing back their gains under pressure from regulators, individual investors are not likely to be required to do so, though the Nihon Keizai business daily suggested in a front-page column that they might like to donate the money to worthy causes.
Ichimura and a lawyer who helped manage the filing could not be reached for comment.
HAUP - 6.20; My timing was off but today's trading covered the error!
Chart on previous reply

Chavez and Uribe Put Aside Differences
By IAN JAMES, Associated Press Writer
Sun Dec 18, 4:28 PM ET
SANTA MARTA, Colombia - One leader sometimes wears a red beret and calls himself a revolutionary. The other prefers pressed white shirts and considers himself a no-nonsense crusader against a bloody leftist insurgency.
Presidents Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Alvaro Uribe of Colombia are diametrically opposed in style and ideology, but they have largely put aside their differences and overcome disputes over the years, building what appears to be an uncommon friendship.
Meeting Saturday, the two laughed and recited verses by South American independence hero Simon Bolivar as they marked the 175th anniversary of his death at the hacienda where he spent his final hours.
Uribe, whose close ties with President Bush contrast with Chavez's frequent criticism of United States "imperialism," assured Chavez he would not allow Colombia to serve as a base for opponents who may be plotting to overthrow the leftist leader.
After studying documents provided by Chavez, Uribe said he had confirmed that a group of former Venezuelan military officers recently went to a government building in Bogota to meet with Colombian military officers.
Uribe offered no details about the meeting but said he took full responsibility and had issued a warning that no conspiracy against Chavez would be tolerated.
"A country such as Colombia that is affected by terrorism cannot permit that it be used as a base for conspiracies against the democracies of our brother nations," Uribe said.
After returning to Venezuela, Chavez called the Venezuelan ex-officers coup-plotters and traitors.
"Do you think they'll surprise me again? No!" Chavez said Sunday on his radio and television show.
The two leaders' countries are bound through trade and a shared border — the source of several spats over the years. Chavez and Uribe overcame their worst diplomatic dispute in February after the capture in Venezuela of a Colombian rebel by bounty hunters who delivered him to Colombian police. Weeks of bitter recriminations gave way to pledges of deeper cooperation on border security.
Apart from the discussions of the alleged coup-plotters, the meeting in Santa Marta, 465 miles north of Bogota, was upbeat, at times even playful.
Chavez, a close ally of Cuba's Fidel Castro, called Uribe "my brother." Uribe said when asked about their differences that "a higher truth" emerges whenever they debate.
"That's a Marxist point of view," Chavez joked, drawing laughter from an audience of government officials with a reference to the Marxist tenet that change takes place through a struggle of opposites.
Uribe, who like Chavez enjoys strong popular support ahead of 2006 elections, replied wryly that many of his university classmates were Marxists and he studied their slogans well because he was a leading opponent of their ideology.
The meeting came a day after a rare confrontation between the U.S. and Uribe, who has sought a free-trade deal with Washington while taking a hard-line approach against leftist rebels.
Uribe sharply criticized U.S. Ambassador William Wood for "meddling" after Wood urged Colombia to better prevent right-wing paramilitary groups from tainting next year's elections through corruption.
When a reporter asked Uribe if he was distancing himself from Washington, Chavez smiled widely and turned to the Colombian leader — also interested in what he would say.
"This is not the moment nor the place to talk about the issue," Uribe replied.
Hey Lonnie
Hope all is well with you and thanks for visiting.
I've been tracking BL.V since Dec. 6th cause it was an unsual heavy volume gainer. Then it was 0.415 cents.
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=8758391
I lack the know hows to intrepret that news release, maybe Tackler, johnlw, Artec or Ed Monton may help out with that. What I can tell is that there was a nice bounce in Fridays trading, current support levels in 40 cent range. Some more volume would is needed. Resistance at 45 cents and 50 cent levels. The chart shows a history of walk downs after rapid rises. And did the same this time around. But currently this is a hot sector so you have that going for you. I hope that help, its rather simple but thats how I like to keep it!

Tanzania elections helping TRE
Tanzania awaits poll result

By Helen Nyambura
DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - Tanzanians waited on Thursday for the results of an election likely to hand the presidency to Foreign Minister Jakaya Kikwete, but there was tension for a second day on the volatile Zanzibar islands.
As results trickled in, the African Union (AU) praised Tanzania for the conduct of its third multi-party election since political pluralism was re-introduced in the early 1990s.
Kikwete, 55, was the firm favourite to replace outgoing President Benjamin Mkapa on pledges to continue his free-market economic policies and create more jobs.
That would extend the political dominance of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM or Party of the Revolution) which has ruled east Africa's geographically largest country for four decades.
Once again, however, Tanzania's reputation for peace and stability was tarnished by events in Zanzibar, a semi-autonomous archipelago which is an opposition stronghold.
The opposition Civic United Front (CUF) accused police of using teargas on Thursday against its supporters in historic Stone Town. "Right now the police have surrounded Stone Town and are lobbing tear gas," spokesman Salim Bimani said.
He added that there were reports of four people being injured in Tumbatu island "after security people went from door to door beating up people."
Police in Zanzibar denied both accusations.
"We are on normal patrols to make sure everything is peaceful," Ramadhani Kinyogo, a deputy director of criminal investigations, told Reuters.
RESULTS COMING IN
An October 30 election for Zanzibar's local parliament and presidency, won by the ruling CCM, sparked violence and fraud allegations. Zanzibaris' participation in the national vote on Wednesday revived some of those tensions.
The worst trouble appeared to have been in Nungwi, a northern constituency of Unguja island, where police on Wednesday opened fire to disperse CUF supporters chasing away voters they said were not from the area.
One person was shot in the thigh in the incident.
Zanzibar prisons authorities said on Thursday four of their female officers were "kidnapped" by CUF supporters. Two managed to escape but two others were beaten up before being released. "They sustained head and arm injuries," prisons doctor Haji Amour told a news conference.
The 12-member AU observer team did not have representatives in Zanzibar but praised the overall handling of the election.
"Overall the elections were administered in an efficient manner although some areas could have been improved on," Baleka Mbete, head of the AU delegation, told a news conference.
Actual ballot counting had ended by Thursday, and results from the country's 232 constituencies were being sent in to the electoral board for final collation.
A final tally was expected around 4 p.m. (1300 GMT).
Opposition parties were expected to make small gains at the poll, partly because of discontent over poverty and corruption. But surveys and analysts said the ruling CCM looked unbeatable.
The CCM and its predecessor, the Tanganyika African National Union, have held power since independence in the coffee-growing country which is one of Africa's main per capita aid recipients.
