Willaim <The Yen means little to us and plenty to Japan. I don't live in Japan> ROFLMAO -- you must be joking. Do you have the slightest idea how big the current account deficit of the United States has become? Its 4% of GNP my friend -- the highest level in our history. That means we must get at least that much back in foreign investment just to break even. Even if we get that investment, the investment itself adds to the current account deficit in the form of interest payments paid to foreigners. Are you really so unaware of international finance that you don't know how much depends on Japan? The yen/dollar?
