Thanks -- I've read a lot at this site. Looked this over again and I have the same questions: What happens when Japanese sell treasuries to buy real assets and write down the losses they are carrying? What fuels their turn-around and gets them out of the deflationary spiral? Not exports to their neighbors and especially not exports to U.S., right? U.S.: Consumer debt at an all-time high -- interest rates goosed by the sale of treasuries, who's gonna buy? Japanese has had a real crash already. Why haven't they started liquidating bonds already? Methinks we're all in this together! Tell me it's not true! (BTW are you loading up on bullion or gold stocks? or just going long-term short the market?)
