G,

>> They have enough productive capacity as a result of all this saving that far exceeds their own needs.

So why don't they just go on 30-hour work week. Play golf, and watch baseball games, spend more time with their families, etc.... I thought this was the goal of progress. To meet your needs with less effort. How can this be a problem ?

Re interest rates, I thought everyone was re-assured today about the employment data. Now THIS was a relief rally, right !

Or they decide to flood the rest of Asia with capital - again. All the same; eventually the tide of money flowing into the US will reverse (it already has started) and US equities will come down to earth a bit. One reason that this is a "nifty fifty" market is because so mu h money has flowed in from overseas. Them thar foreigners are even worse than we are at picking up just the darlings to throw money at while ignoring the rest. I suspect that this trend won't change drastically for years.

The good times are here - may hay while the sun shines but be prepared to sell within a few weeks.

Actually, UK holds more US treasury bonds than Japan. This story is a year old (I didn't have much time to research it for you) but the trend holds.

BTW, this boogy man story is at least 20 years old.

p.s. Note the holdings are a small fraction of total US debt.
