<it could approach 85, as it did once before, >

The yen in fact got to 79 and I was trying to borrow $1 million in yen, with which to buy MSFT shares [it was 1996]. It was all too hard and I gave up.

It would have been a great investment.

There are always opportunities rampaging around. Meanwhile, QCOM is being battered despite soaring profits, continuing dividends and booming markets.

Hi TJ:
The Yen could go to 105 and then to 85 as you suggest. My last entry is at 119.95, so I am getting itchy fingers at 109 area. About an 18% annualized return, without leverage, is hard for me to pass up. The 110 area has proved support going back almost 4 years.

Having broke through the 105 in December '04 it got down to around the 102 mark as I recall. I am guessing we get a bounce before seeing 105, let alone 102, so I will trade it and hope to get back it later.


plenty of drunken women whose husbands were getting drunk elsewhere,

I try to avoid women with husbands, drunk or otherwise. It may be "target rich" but could turn your oasis into a combat zone.

BTW. What's happening with HK and Gold today? Did you go short:}
