FWIW I've gone to 14% physical in the past few days, with the rest staying in Canadian cash/T-Bills (where I was 100% beforehand). Today as you say sure looks like Yen down, stocks up, but it's only one day. And it's Fed Thursday too. I am currently torn by two mightily opposing forces -- on one hand I see so much liquidity danger under the surface that I fear a major near-term collapse in all asset classes, and on the other hand I can almost equally see the Fed potentially opening the inflation spigots and sending all nominal asset prices skyward. In the middle of that Bell Curve would be something like a slow orderly grind down in the USD and an associated Japanese-like RE/banking situation for the next 10-20 years. People (voters) don't seem to notice as much when you drain their assets and purchasing power away from them slowly as when you take a big chunk out of their arse all at once
