 TOKYO (AP) - Japanese stocks fell for a third day Friday as investors sold autos and other blue-chip issues to take profits after the market hit a three-month high earlier this week.
The Nikkei 225 index slipped 21.96 points, or 0.14 percent, to finish at 15,938.66 points on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The index lost 202.41 points, or 1.25 percent, on Thursday.
Tokyo stocks have been looking increasingly overextended after a recent rally saw the benchmark index gain 9.3 percent in four weeks before hitting a three-month high on Tuesday.
