GershDude:" Pi "

well now, finally; you have been experienced (^_^) I was fortunate enough to have timed proper medication T minus 30 minutes before Pi in all its grainy glory down at the local art cinema. My blue, pin-stripe Brioni and Ermenegildo Zegna tie notwithstanding, the grrrl sitting next to me (festooned with nose ring and Wharton tatoo, compleat with lightning bolt and Swarthmore oak-leaf clusters) enjoyed my soaring anxiety as we sympathetically peaked during each grainy, gigantic blow-up of yet another dose.

"There... is... a... pattern..." I hissed through tightly clenched teeth, my jaw aching, ears ringing.

"Review... my... assumptions..." she ground out, poking some kind of goo resembling our brains at our feet with her MontBlanc rollerball.

Suddenly her Motorola StarTac began to vibrate, she grabbed it and threw it at the glowing red EXIT sign. "Hebrew... of course... it's all numbers" we looked at one another, and nodded.

216... 216... 216...

The essence, revealed ! We screamed, "YES!!!"

"My machine will 704 before I can ever get to experience the elegant simplicity of 216", she said. "Can we use your rig - everybody knows you're running Intel protos -?"

"Sure, but bring over the crystal you got at the Lilith Fair and a can of freon, baby - it's gonna be hot ".

wha-?

someone's knocking at my door...

go away; GO AWAY! GO, AWAY !!!

huh ?

...they slipped a piece of paper underneath the door...

OH, NO!!! it's...

Gersh:" Yen:Yank "

biz.yahoo.com

why there has been no apparent Yen:Yank intervention ?

"The dollar will have to depreciate further to enable the United States to finance its ballooning current account [balance of trade] deficit... The fundamental cause of the dollar's weakness lies in the fact that the U.S. current account deficit has grown too large to be stably financed by the surpluses of Japan and Europe... To help close the gap of more than $100 billion, the United States has two policy options -- let the dollar fall further, or depress consumers' overspending by [further] tightening credit."

why Bonds have seemingly relentless sellers/supply ?

"...The U.S. financing gap has leapt further than the calculated difference between its [foreign trade] deficit and the world surplus as Japan has been repatriating the bulk of money invested in U.S. markets since August 1998... ...Japanese have turned net sellers of U.S. bonds, unloading 453.9 billion yen ($4.09 billion) [of U.S. Bonds] on an annualised basis since the fourth quarter of 1998. "

why EuroStock Markets are essentially flat YTD ?

"...the departure of Japanese money has dealt a heavy blow, and the United States has had to recall capital invested in Europe and Latin America [to finance balance-of-trade account deficits]... [as a consequence]... U.S. investors have pulled $79.7 billion from European securities markets and $12.8 billion from Latin American stock markets on an annualised basis since the fourth quarter of 1998. "

what we think of Japanese businessmen/economists ?

"uh, yeah, so - when does football come back on TV, dude ?"
