Henry,

In prior posts you talked about Japanese repatriation. Generally you suggested it would be counter-productive for the Japanese central bank to sell dollars, so any repatriation would come from the private sector. I agree. I wonder however, if the public/market isn't underestimating the potential for our chronic current account deficit, accumulation of foreign holdings of U.S. securities, and compound interest payments to eventually work against the U.S. in the form of a lower dollar and higher interest rates. Perhaps even a realization that on it's current path the U.S. is not a particularly great place to park reserves.

Any thoughts?
