6.2 magnitude aftershock near Tokyo, felt in CNBC World studios.

Hopefully all the future aftershocks and quakes are contained there, and in the New York CNBC studios.

The NIKKEI Index opened down 5% with Tepco, Honda, Nissan and Sony shares halted because of a "glut of sell orders."

Toyota, Honda Shares Start Trading in Tokyo, Down 11%, CNBS World.

Construction companies are getting a lot of bids, though. One Japanese construction firm is up 60%. Go long CAT, I guess.

It's a prefecture in Japan, they're like the counties we have here. And yes, it does contain the nuclear plant.

NHK: JMA director says no Tsunami detected.

Quite a divergence in information here. Japanese Met director says no Tsunami, local officials, TV helicopters say 3 meter waves rolling into shore. Hmm, who to believe?

What dicks to hold rice from needy people and only give it to them if I answer questions. Why don't they just donate all the effing rice they can afford anyway?
Because they pay for it via the money they get in some ads that are displayed when you get the correct answer
