Hi Apratim,..Re:.net creditor nations holding about $800 Billion in US treasuires. In your last post, you stated that foreign holders of US treasuries totaled $800 billion. According to the Bond Market Association, for '98, the total amount in foreign holdings is around $442 billion or approximately 14.3% of total outstanding. This is an 'estimated' number. bondmarkets.com I only brought it up because it is often repeated that if Japan sells their holdings of US treasuries, the US will be in deep do do. But the UK has a larger holding than Japan, so there is some misconception here. The post you made was interesting and although it attempts to explain the current failures in the context of money flow, the explanation doesn't hold for Japan. I realize the yen hasn't been attacked by speculators, but the point is Japan is a root cause of some of the regional problems. Indirectly anyway. (IMHO) Regards, Lee
