JYen carry trade makes 100% per year
3% to 3.5% yield differential between USA and Japan
amplify by 30:1 leverage from lending source
typical hedge fund action

small risk on JYen currency shift
operate out of US center, but borrow in Tokyo center
lock in borrowed money in Tokyo
ride USTrez instrument for segment of time

not gonna discuss anymore
this is basic hedge fund leveraged speculation
