MB: Loved your initial comment,... although I thought Abby referenced a super tanker. (g) Excellent comment on those nasty spreads. One more element in the A.G. nightmare. I agree completely with your comments on the Japanese yields. They have moved far more quickly than any traders I've talked to could have imagined. If you recall, I suggested that Japanese rates would be forced upward by the currency exodus many moons ago. Took much heat for it then. (g) Can't remember who said it, but "interventions have a lousy track record" was the gist of it. (g) "Keep the good money, pass along the bad money" has been a truism since before the Egyptians and like you, I don't expect it to take a holiday, especially as a crisp new, perhaps gold-backed reserve currency makes its debut. Thanks for the comments. Looks like more than just A.G. have wet paint at their toes. Best, Earlie
