Tremendous, Ike...eh viva Iqbal et Nersin! Here's a couple of $/yen articles: short term relief, longer term $ depreciates is the sense of the articles, fwiw. Not so astounding with the large trade deficit...and necessary balancing in LR. Heard from a currency trader the last $/yen 'crisis' at level 142 a couple of years ago was followed by announcement of a US public surplus (fiscal not deficit)! Eyes and ears peeled... biz.yahoo.com TOKYO, Sept 26 (Reuters) - A rare Group of Seven (G7) statement expressing concern over the recent sharp rise in the yen is expected to bring short-term relief, but the basic bullish trend for the Japanese currency is unchanged, analysts and dealers said on Sunday. The market's attention will now be on Japan's fiscal stimulus plans or extra monetary measures by the Bank of Japan, they said. ''With the word 'yen' included in the G7 statement, the market will be careful about extending yen-buying, especially in a provocative manner. This will limit the yen's rise in the near term,'' said Hitoshi Imamura, deputy manager at Nippon Credit Bank. The G7 communique did not promise joint intervention in the market but said: ''We shared Japan's concern about the potential impact of the yen's appreciation for the Japanese economy, and the world economy.'' It was rare for a G7 statement to mention a specific currency and even rarer for it to express its concerns. Analysts said it would be enough to stop the yen's rise of about 16 percent since June, at least for now. ''With the yen in the communique, I won't be surprised to see active position unwinding of yen long positions, which could lift the dollar towards 107 to 108 yen,'' Imamura said. The yen closed in New York on Friday at 104.15 yen... ft.com ...But comments by deputy policy chief of the Liberal Party Yoshio Suzuki, playing up the prospect of joint intervention, elicited a sceptical response from analysts. His suggestion that there was a 60 to 70 per cent chance that the United States would join Japan in selling yen was dismissed as fanciful by most market participants. Analysts said that the US would be reluctant to take action that might exacerbate its ballooning trade deficit and run counter to economic fundamentals. "Current account differentials would suggest an exchange rate around ¥85-90 for the dollar," said David Bloom, currency analyst at HSBC... Best regards, Nancy

Congratulations Ike, on the fine performance of your young students and the success of you and your wife's instruction. Perhaps a book on how you all did it would help out some of our under achieving schools here in US. And like the plain folk around here say, "The acorn(s) doesn't fall far from the tree"! Roebear

Ike, I haven't posted on SI in a very long time, but I periodically monitor your always cogent analysis of markets and economies. I have always been amazed at your simple yet powerful wisdom. Now, after reading about the accomplishments of your family, I am truly in awe -and I don't easily awe. I consider it a privilege to read from the mind of such an enlightened individual. Congratulations to you and your family as you bask in the light of God's blessing. You and yours deserve every accolade I have read on this thread. Again, thank you for sharing so generously.

We want to thank everyone who has been kind enough to write and share these moments of utter joy with us through messages on the thread and PM's. Individual reponse will take lot of time and will be wasteful on the thread but we will make sure that we write to every one who have taken the apin to write to us. Taking our toddlers to Kindergarten was something we always missed but taking Zach and the two older to university was another kind of joy.We think that what we did was our obligation as that is our first priority the kids responded to our prescription and now in University I hope they will do well as they learn art of making firendships and teamwork. Please accept from us million of thanks, we will never ever forget this spontaneous display of love and greater universality. We hope our children will turn out to be good citizens of our planet earth. All this will be a naught if they cannot learn how to 'share' joys and sarrows of life. Love and regards Ike and Nesrin...with RZZ
