Why hasn't the Yen really increased in value against the dollar since gold spiked? Essentially the yen has been devalued in comparison to the POG, just as much as the dollar has. Ron the yen has increased in value to the American dollar so there of when you look at it as of now the the price of gold would of been bizarre in comparison to the yen at 140 something Teh C dollar alos is bit up tho not much and she is a rich nation both ag and energy. On the Euro Geramny labor rate is ridiculous the social scale of Germany is to costly. Because of Germany alone i feel the euro is going to have difficulty holding it's own. 5.5 billion of that dollar surplus just went voom forgoing of debt to over nations Whaddya think?? Maybe the central bankers are not all to comfortable thanks to one little BAht and tech. We are tech based and our doing no export to speak of but tech is ever changing and cash costly right now. We aren't exactly building railroads to run a train but building a net that hit walls and security problems and constantly needs recreating. Intial outlay on new systems is costly and the problems is the new systems are obsolete to quick, so future earnings could go on add infinitum in this day and age because of systems themselves. Providing the FED just keeps easing loans we could be fine but we could also have the weakest dollar in the world due to too many of them out there. What say you Captain to that thought?
