Yen down 10% last yr., not 20%. finance.yahoo.com

Today yen is 114. Five years ago it was 115 -- 1% change. Japan works hard at keeping the yen from rising. I don't recall Japan ever having to act to support the yen. Japan is now very well integrated with China. The US is not the only game in town. Compared to the dollar, the yen is a safe haven.

"I'd like to see what Japanese stocks do once the US is in a recession and can't buy as many Toyotas, Hondas, and Kubotas."

The economy implodes and their financial system collapses. They didn't get over the 1985-1991 mania yet. Right now they are getting a breather before coup the grace.

Btw. I think that US bubbles were engineered by FED purposely. They were trying to prevent Japan from going into financial oblivion, just like we tried to rescue Britain in 1928. Everybody knows what happened next.
