Hi John, Good article . It might be wise to keep an eye on the yen.It appears that currency speculators may not be staying with the yen too much longer. futures.tradingcharts.com If a large supply of debt instruments ,is met with a declining currency - my bet is the yield on the bonds goes up. I wonder how many hedge funds are betting on cheap rates in Japan and higher rates in the U.S..If rates in Japan became higher than rates in the U.S. - a whirl wind of unwinding hedge positions could make the U.S. bond market soar and create a huge liquidity crisis in the equity markets. Not a positive catalyst when coupled with record high margin debt. That scenario is almost so scary it could put an end to the world's greatest bull market <g> Thanks for the heads up. Bob P.S. what part of Houston do you live in ? I'm in the woodlands.
