players borrow in yen and speculate in a whole range of securities ...
it's great while the spread between rates there and here are stable ---
when the spread narrows -- less attractive

is it a double whammy?

rate spread and currency xchange rate?

i guess not -- if you borrowed yen and bought dollar denom assests ...
when you sell dollar denom asset to pay back yen --
dollars worth more yen?

am I thinking about that correctly
