goldsnow,

I don't have time to dig up old material. The bloomberg article is not remotely close to reality. Last qtr/yr when the yen was over 140 to the US$, companies like Canon, Toyota, NEC all reported a huge chunk of their earnings were attributable to the exchange rate.

The dollar is commanding around 112 yen today, almost 30% off its peak. The Japanese multi-nationals are going to be killed this quarter, just on the exchange alone. For trading with US and to a lesser extent, Europe, business has to have improved 30% just to keep pace with the weakened dollar.
