The source (I think) is within the first 40 pages of The K-Wave by David Knox. As far as differentiation is concerned, you may want to read The Great Wave : Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History by David Hackett Fischer. It tracks price changes for the last 1200 years across Europe (and later) Americas. You will notice that while differentiation has always existed, its magnitude has been far less than the over all wave that sweeps the world. So for example at a given time the inflation rate may be 3% in U.S and 6% in Italy, but that is dwarfed in comparision to a previous setting of 0.5% inflation. In any event, DIJA does not have to drop by 67% like Nikkei or 90% like some places in Asia for my point to be valid. A 40% drop will do the job <g> and still differentiate it from them. Sun Tzu
