You wrote to me as follows: "I believe you need to study history, The YEN went down and oil rose thru much of Japan's deflation Mish" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Any time I make a statement like that, I provide links to support it. The Yen did not go down. Maybe you were looking at a chart of the the value of the dollar in Yen instead of the Yen in dollars. The value of the Yen went way up during that period and stayed high, IN DOLLARS. The value of the Yen tripled between 1985 and 1995, and it then varied, as currencies do, but remained high. fx.sauder.ubc.ca&fd=1&fm=1&fy=1980&ld=31&lm=12&ly=2005&y=daily&q=volume&f=png&a=lin&m=0&x= And in Pounds: fx.sauder.ubc.ca&fd=1&fm=1&fy=1980&ld=31&lm=12&ly=2005&y=daily&q=volume&f=png&a=lin&m=0&x= and even in Swiss Francs: fx.sauder.ubc.ca*&fd=1&fm=1&fy=1980&ld=31&lm=12&ly=2005&y=daily&q=volume&f=png&a=lin&m=0&x= Oil prices did not rise in that period: wtrg.com No wonder you disagree with me and expect deflation. I can't help wondering if you have been reading charts upside-down.
