Capital flows. NZ is showing with capital flowing out. I am aware of these things flowing out: Tourists Kiwis going to live elsewhere A380s Dead sheep Dead cattle Tree trunks Milk in various forms Software in significant value Other stuff. But no farms are leaving. No wharves airports factories or such things are leaving. I'm not sure which of those are called capital leaving. Coming in are: Tourists Kiwis moving back home Cars and trucks Crude oil Tractors and other machinery Building construction tools and materials A380s Software Qualcomm chips and cyberphones Some of those might be capital in their description. But maybe they just mean people in NZ are borrowing lots of yen or US$ overall. For example I borrowed a Tonka Truckload of Tesla and sold them in exchange for US$. Which leaves me all square unless I gain or lose. Economics is such a puzzle. Thank goodness we have world experts like Big Ben and Uncle Al KBE who totally understand it and would never be surprised by irrational exuberance or Lehman Bros insolvency. They KNOW which way the capital winds are blowing. We even have our own resident experts like El Matador and El Roy to explain it all. Mqurice
