It's just like Japan. The right choice is keeping the rates high, forcing deleveraging. But the political pressure is high.

WTF is with that chemical index? Just unstoppable that thing. About the only tech light I see is the strength in the rummy disk drives and telecom. Of course, smelly is still holding strong.

Heinz, in a debt recession you refinance, further there is always need of new debt at par issues, to hedge against defaulted debt. World of finance always invents some thing new. People still belive in fiat money and as long as gold does not go above 330 to 350 every one is happy. Did Germany go belly up as a result of unification and Russian debt which they hope that they grandchildren may see? No they just marched in place as will the US. Besides there are still 600 bp to go <GGG> BTW remember wen the Swiss had negative interest I think about 20 years ago? You needed to pay up to own Swiss Franks ....... so all IS possible <GGGG> Haim
