They may want the Yen to be "not too strong, not too weak" (whatever that means, Goldilocks! ;-), but just how much can they do about it? Clearly they can do something, but that doesn't make the BOJ omnipotent either. I am noticing what seems to be renewed support for Krugman's "sink the Yen for the good of Japan": bloomberg.com Personally I find the argument for inflation to be a scary and desperate sounding one (of course I seem to be genetically incapable of regarding inflation as a good thing, so this may be just my personal bias speaking). Anyone here think it's a good idea? - Daniel
