>>I do not know how well to link a failure of the Jap banking system to US stock markets, except to presume that Jap Govt will sell US Treas -- I am not absolutely sure that they will, but I do not know how else they will manage.<<

I don't know much about Japan, but I'm aware they have deep problems. I read an article within the last two years (WSJ?) that outlined a colossal problem with their railroad pension system that rivals the banking crisis. I haven't heard any more about it, but it might help explain the reluctance to have their pension systems unload U.S bonds to shore up their banking system.
