Yes, it's all smoke & mirrors, nothing is as it seems. This minute, platinum & silver are going nuts this morning. The metal rats will do well today. Of course, the rise in commodities, like oil, copper, soybeans and everything else has a base in the debasement of the dollar. Message 19975895 ________________ As for Japan, they don't have a spendthrift consumer society like we do, so they have to export, but they really blew a lot of Yen. But since it is all paper & digits, it probably means little in the big picture..

The unexpected resilience of the dollar - which is up against the euro and down marginally against other major currencies this year - is a result of an extraordinary market manipulation by Japan, which has spent nearly 15 trillion yen, or $142 billion, to prop up the dollar to help Japan's exporters sell abroad. xcr: Japan can't afford a cheap dollar that would make its goods less competitive with ours in their markets... They must be running out of yen or smell a U.S. interest rate increase down the road... Perhaps that road is getting shorter... The jobs report tomw may give us a clue... Jim
