I was a little surprised to see the USD continue to decline, given the rising market and falling bondz, Gersh. We're at 129 Yen/USD now on the December futures, and where's the top, 125 ?
We were at what, ~145 ? That's a decimation of the dollar, man.

I mean, SNE - Sony opened gap-up +6 points, (+8%) today in USD -!
no way! A weakening USD is not good news for euro/asian exporters, regardless of the blip in their ADR values now. The weak dollar looks like it helps the emerging markets / commodity prices; but what if the US reduces consumption / import volumes as a result ?
I gotta think that the ADR.X - ADR Index at 580 now, has maybe 585-595~600 tops, and then tanks.
IMHO this (Yen/USD) thing is a puffed-up Tempura Shrimp, Gersh.
