Hello Stephen, I am not familar with News 23 or Tsukushi, I try to limit the amount NEWS stuff I ingest.....bad for the bio-chemistry systems. But that comparison is very powerful. The tsunami over taking Japan must feel very foreign to those people who have worked so hard for their retirement pensions and dignity of Japanese nation. They may still get out from the worst of it....but the time is running out....confindence in the Yen and Japan's economy must be restored shortly or risk further depressionary forces. I do not wish to believe the gold-bugs clatter and domesdayers cheers that the world is on the brink of financial colapse, but it is certainly built on sand and monitary experimentation....where this will lead us is yet unknown. The economic factors that have been in place for the last 15 years and the productivity being provided by the computer are still in place and should provide prosperity for years to come and benifit many more people of the world. The argument seems to fall as to wheither the US is in an Equity bubble within a deflationary spiral similar to Japan a few years ago and if the pressures being applied by international debt structures will increase those deflationary pressures world wide. The second shoe has not yet been dropped, but the laces may-be-coming untied. I certainly hope the Rubins and the Greenspans of the world know what they are doing....could be an awful mess. Just my opinions not to be confused with advice. Chip
