Mike: Did you ever purchase additional puts on Chuckie when it was running away or did you stick with originals June 60's i thought? It appears that BOJ supports your prediction for lower interest rates. At least that is how I read it. They sold yen and bought dollars presumably in for the form of US treasuries. yes/no ? It would seem that either they have been given a nudge ,wink/wink at the cpi numbers coming out on wednesday or they are absolute nuts to place that big a bet 2days ahead of cpi data. what you think ? Finally, I never understood how encouraging capital outflows ever helped a nations standard of living or its recovery. If this were a company(japan inc) and employees were paid in stock(yen), and management(boj) was actively seeking to lower its stock price, you would have to wonder whats wrong with waldo. imho
