Hello Mike,

I have been a lurker on this thread since the start. The quality of commentary, analysis and writing here is just amazing. Mike, I believe I had seen something on the Yahoo international wires earlier this year regarding the use of Japanese equities as bank assets. My memory is getting worse all the time but I thought (imagined?) there was a change which allowed banks to carry equities at book value if they fell below it. Did I get this wrong? If not, does that mean that N225 can drop fairly far but the Japanese banks can still meet BIS asset requirements as long as book values don't erode significantly. Can anyone comment on this? My apologies to all if I've screwed any of this up.

Best Regards,
Steve Tauscher
