This is addressed to anyone, really. In the course of the "round table" in Barron's today I again see reference to the Japanese money supply having expanded recently at the rate of one percent per day. Is there any website where Japanese monetary statistics can be found? If this is true it marks a dramatic shift in the willingness of Japan to go beyond low interest rates in stimulating demand. Or is this apparent money supply growth a reflection of actions taken to prop up the banks, insurance comapnies, and even brokerages? What will this money be spent on--or will it be spent? or is it just a way of making bankruptcies less likely? It could also be a de facto devaluation of the yen. By the way, the consesnus in the Barron's discussion (though I did not try to tabulate it numerically) seemed very bearish, for the U. S, market and also for world economies, especially the Asian ones. I notice the the Matthews Korea fund that I was trying to get into is the top fund for the week, up some 26%. I guess I should have used faxes and wires. Ordinarily a week never makes that much difference.
