Barry ; What gets me is these pundits keep say it's fallen against the dollar as if the dollar has something to do with it. The YEN is just down ( across the board except with some other Asia currency, the dollar is not up against it..any more than the pound or the Frank..) the way they talk is not only miss leading it's irresponsible. It's like the assholes are suggesting we devalue the dollar..( pure hell if we do ). The Japanese bankers need to stop short selling their own currency , ( they do this to drive it down and pay back their already cheap government loans government with an even cheapen YEN..man they are so crooked a snake looks straight. ------------ I use to Bunker their ships , and they didn't want honest weight, they insisted on an advantage it's in their culture. They were beyond any doubt the worst of any nationality for me to have to deal with. I use to dread it when ever we had to go to bunker a Japanese Ship. That may seem like prejudiced, and I don't mean for it to apply to Japanese Americans, but if they had to do what I did they would likely say the same thing. I expect the Koreans to be just as bad, ( I didn't bunker any of their ships ) but I ran a Cod fish boat for them in a wrap around deal when the 200mi limits first came in. They chisel you on every angle. It's in the culture. This is not hear say this is from one who had to deal with them. It got so bad that the fuel, ice docks nor grocery stores would cash their checks, ( o we just send money to back please re-run the check ) every time. And it took me holding their feet to the fire to every get my money. ( even then they jiped me out of several hundred ) You can trust them about as far as you can see them , and you better have both eyes open. ------------------------ Every one else has to increase their interest rates if their currency falls, not them ..they drop it. I have no doubt they short their own currency, just why should we bail them out. They might have bad loans on the books, but they did that on purpose. It's simple enough to see their plan , the Japanese intend to buy up and control ASIA and will do it any way they can. That will cause a back lash, and a lot of political fall out in the next few years. Jim
