'Our problems took place at roughly that same time and on roughly the same scale in terms of bad loans (higher in Japan but not massively higher) -- but as one would logically expect, the results were the exact opposite in Japan from what happened in the US.' Yes I think you and I are on to something you won't find spoken anywhere<g> I do think this time out much higher interest rates and tight credit conditions like we had around 1990 if it occurred in a rapid fashion would be serious trouble and result in a cascading slide in now way overvalued assets that would be impossible to turn around from monetary or fiscal policy.. I do agree with our best buddies here some of the time. The world is not all black and white but has many different colors<g>
