<JYen should be valued at $1.50, it is undervalued by at least 50%>

I'm now wondering why the JY shouldn't just be totally trashed along side of the USD? After all, Japan and it's currency is nothing but a receptacle for massive holdings of Old Maid cards (US debt), and the Japanese govt has borrowed more than anybody.

How could the JY possibly have real fundamental value relative to just about any other asset in the world? I wouldn't own Japanese assets if it was the last option on the planet, and think they end up defaulting on the JGB at the rate they are going, especially if their JGB market comes unravelled. UST debt should outlast the JGB in this race to the bottom, by at least a half decade. The bet going forward might be a hyper weak Yen-Dollar in tandem, and a crash in both the US AND Japanese bond markets, especially the later. Anybody found some good reading on this prospect?
