Ron, I subscribe to both theories. Re Euro I think their concerns are in both directions. The French are particularly useful, and amusing, to watch in this regard. On one hand they want a weak Euro in order to encourage exports. But on the other hand a strong currency is a matter of national pride, particularly if a strong Euro could supplant the dollar and show up the Anglo-Saxons. So they are trapped between ego and self interest and at par their egos said enough is enough -g-. That arguement about Japan has been around for a while. They need more liquidity and are concerned about the possible impacts so they have engineered a stronger yen to minimize the impact once the reflation begins. It is a plausible theory. Henry
