Worswick; I chart currencies regular, and I dont see what your taking about..Since Jan 96..the Yen has had a big fall relitive to the dollar..it spiked some last June July..but droped back off..it's right at 20% off the levels it was back in 96. Japan has kept the Yen low and the printing presses running, and flooded the world with Yen, on the idea it lets them catch market share by making their imports cheap. That seems to work for them in a lot of ways..They sure sell more goods to our South Americian neighbors than we do..heck they almost sell more stuff to us than we do. <G> Jim
