i dont think Japanese have really repatriated yet Heinz. Check out the Yen chart: quotewatch.com It looks more like BOJ yen selling to buy futures: weaken the yen, support the nikkei, then repatriate with a weaker yen (after maximizing treasury profits in US). good strategy short term....

If They Want To They Probably Will Be Able To Buy Back Whatever They Sold For Less Except for the problem the might have with the currency conversion.

>>my guess is the Japanese banks have been selling stocks<< The selling I have seen for the past few weeks has been coming from Datek and ETrade market makers - do the japanese have these accounts? IMHO it has been poor sheep tossing in the towel. Sheep have been Ram-Bussed while contestants of the BSG have been winning fabulous cash prizes to take the risk. Will keep your scenario in mind though. Sometimes you have to slap and run.
