You make a good point that if the yen should falter, Japanese manufacturing companies, being export oriented should see earnings rise. I wouldn't put it past the other industrialized nations to help engineer a temporary, or maybe not so temporary, fall in the yen in order to help out the Japanese economically. I have a friend at work who still has relatives in Japan, and he says that even though his family suffered no harm since they live in southern Japan, they are now facing shortages, as much of available surplus of food, water, and materials is shipped from the south to the north to aid the people trying to overcome the disaster there. Unbelievable that they had another 7.1 earthquake in northern Japan today.
