<How long will people put up with this decline in purchasing power?>

$64K question. Private foreign inflows per reports from Sept. and Oct. have all but disappeared (covered superbly by Contrary Investor), with outflows in some USD assets. Secondly OPEC seems willing to price oil in the low 30's based on rightful claims of lost purchasing power. So this shows there is no free ride. Still to date the US is avoiding a foreign panic. The reason appears to be the willingness of the BOJ to sell out their populace by carrying out futile dollar support activities at their expense. We will see soon enough if the BOJ cares to finance a $trillion plus twin deficit on the backs of Japanese citizens and alone in 2004. Happy New Year.
