Massive easing in Japan? Tee hee. Since rates are almost at zero, what would "massive" easing look like?

10,000 helicoptors dumping 5 trillion yen notes over the Ginza?

Those dopey Japanese - they'd probably just save it anyway! <g>

Nice ramp job on the Nikkei last night. ;o{

if the Japanese authorities wake up one day to the fact that their capital export inducing monetary policies not only sustain the bubble in the US, but also deprive Japan of any chance of recovery, this sort of nonsense will end.
