Mohan, in one of the gold-eagle articles that I love to read it was mentioned that debt levels in Japan are 300% of GDP ;U.S. 220% of GDP; U.S. in 1929 190% GDP. This includes all public and private debt so it is easy to see why japan cannot stimulate it's economy THERE IS TOO MUCH DEBT. I have also read the Japanese banks have a huge amount of nonperforming loans-which is sure to increase due to SEA. It is easy to see that the financial markets will get a severe dose of tough love regardless of the attempts of foolish bankers to to paper over foolish loans given to foolish people to do foolish things ho ho ho -g- Mike

YTY M3 growth is now 9.3% in US versus only 3.1% in Germany, 4.1% in Switzerland,1.8% in France. Buy your wine, BMWs, watches,and more wine now.<g> And hold marks and francs until the EMU comes. The Japanese are not helping us here. The lack of fiscal stimulus there puts restrictions on how quickly and to what extent AG can turn down the US money spigot. And maybe that's what Europe and Japan ultimately desire. A reduction in the reliance on the greenback. Dangerous game. Next week's testimony by AG will be closely watched by currency traders. Positions and bets will be placed concurrently and may establish trends.
