RS, *** OT *** You said >If it is really just a measly $500B..<

I just love this thread because reading about "measly $500B"
makes me forget about underperformance of my stocks. <G>

Ramsey, My guess would be: a lot more worry between now and the 12th of July, when Japanese elections take place, simply because the Japanese government has said it will do nothing between now and then.

jess.

PS - I may buy a bit just before the election results in anticipation of Japanese voters handing the government a mandate for reform, try to catch a sizeable uptick on that, and then sell, as I expect ultimately that the government will do nothing until Tokyo is falling around them. jb.
