Nasdaq Japan-->Hercules

The Osaka Stock Exchange has, for all sorts of reasons, chosen to rename the doomed Nasdaq Japan market "Nippon New Market--Hercules". The Greek mythological figure aside, one would have thought that the demise of Germany's Neuer Markt would have been enough to put them off calling it the "New Market".

One somehow feels it'll take more than 12 IPOs in 12 years to grant this Hercules eternal life, though.

Other suggestions apparently included "Poseidon" and "Fathers" (the latter presumably a play on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Market Of The High-growth and EmeRging Stocks).
