You point up something very important -- these positions are highly leveraged. When things go the other way -- if it is not gradual -- there could be real trouble.

The only glitch is, I suppose you have to be a Japanese banker to get the cheap rate from Japan. <G> Why worry with production or profits if you can capture that kind of spread. On top of that you can insist that the rest of the world devalue their currency before you cash in. They learned fast and have taken the art of capitalism to new levels. That's why they not worried about their stock market, they playing the spread on the bonds, to the max. And they have every intention of buying up ASIA for pennies on the dollar as soon as they can drive it into the ground. This fiasco is no accident. Jim
