I think this implies that Japan will be dumping treasuries and bartering for goods. (comments, anyone?) I can't see why they will buy gold when they need the money. biz.yahoo.com hmm...url just expired on me, perhaps sometime can post this.

I read the material on Gold Eagle from time to time, but can't help being aware that there is a very strong bias there in hopes of and in favor of anything that would raise the price of gold. I don't see how printing money (if you mean increasing the supply of yen) could depress the prices of U. S. Treasury bonds. If the U.S. inflates the money supply and interest rates go up in anticipation or accompanyin inflation, then bond prices would go down. Maybe M3 is up a lot, but M2 is still just pushing the limits of the Fed's goals and is not that much out of line. But I will start watching M3. I am not sure it is even graphed as such on the Federal reserve Bank of St. Louis charts. stls.frb.org
