On Business
Finding a bright spot in the ominous task known variously these
days as "rightsizing" or "workplace reengineering" isn't easy. But
one consultant brought in to help remaining managers through
the process of reducing the workforce while maintaining
productivity added a contemporary twist to the old classic.

"What does the optimist say about the glass and the water?"
he asked.

"It's half full," was the reply.

"And what does the pessimist say?" he queried.

"It's half empty."

"And what does the process reengineer have to say about it?"

Silence - until the consultant revealed the new additional
answer: "Looks like you've got twice as much glass as you
need there."

Hi Patrick ..

FYI and IMHO

In case you haven't heard of it .. the BOJ is talking about raising interest rates.

When they do, it should trigger somewhat of a reverse carry trade move. In other words, yen higher US bonds lower. This event would probably pull stocks down as stocks have benifited from the carry trade also.
