Actually I was at the gym lifting weights when you pulled off this tour de force :) That's a valid and healthy reason for your absence in your home territory

Hello Henry, Been following a line of thought that allows for the US to eventually mirror the Japanese into a long slow recession as the debt levels of this country are accounted for. The next down turn could unfold as the same long retacement of equity values as seen in Japan and produce the same Bond yelds at 0.25%. Keynesian economic policies of government debt financing with low interest rates to keep an economy rolling may not work and keep the economy barrowing. I would expect this to occur in europe also. Any thoughts on this prospect..? The big difference in this country is the regulation and more transparent system of financial transactions. The yen was never considered a safe haven, but it certainly was at one time of higher quality. Chip
