Default Share buying opportunity on the horizon?

Obviously my first thoughts are with the poor people of Japan and hope the disaster does not spread.

I see however that the situation has caused stock market tremors across the world, given the size of Japans economy.

An opportunity to buy some shares at knock down prices?

Goldman Sachs said rough calculations indicated the profit impact of stopping production for one day would be about $73.3 billion (£45bn) for Toyota and $24.4 billion (£15m) billion yen for Honda and Nissan.

oil or natural gas, because japan had no natural resources, hence dependancy on nuclear power. so hopefuly for them, if things pick up, they may look to other soources of fuel.

mind you the way things are looking, maybe even the whole island could be evacuated if it goes radioactive.

uncertainty, the markets main nemesis that leads to panic and fear! As Mr. Buffet once said, "be greedy when people are fearful, be fearful when people are greedy". FTSE is down 8.5% from its highs, 200day moving average is at 5609.5 and the long term uptrend from March '09 is at 5550 area, might be a good entry for the brave

They must mean Yen. No way they could be making $45bn a day. They must mean 45bn Yen which is about $450m which seems more likely. Artcile must have it wrong.

Toyota aint making $73.3billion a day. They either mean Yen, or they mean $Million. Probaby $M as someone else pointed out, but could also see it costing them 73.3billion Yen per day with closed production so who knows. But for sure it's not $73.3bn USD.

Cool can you post the link up to the correct figures
If incorrect it is Goldman Sax's mistake and also it was misquoted on the BBC news at 7am as well I thought it sounded i bit steep but given what has gone on out there i was prepared to give the BBC the benefit of the doubt.

even so £43m per day is a hell of a hit for anyone
