A colleague just tried to stop me at looking at the liner notes of some records I've just bought and manhandled them quite roughly. I think he was surprised by my violent reaction. I tried to wrestle him to the floor. Nobody fucks with me when I've just bought new records and want to look at them.

On July 17, as the dollar slipped below 115 yen in Tokyo, a 15% drop since January, Hayami repeated his view. Asked by reporters if Japan should support the dollar, he called it pointless. "The dollar is being sold. That's a fact. It can't be helped for a while," he stated. "Dollar Heads South as U.S. Bubble Bursts" was the way the Japan Times put it in their July 16 headline, comparing the "bubble implosion in the U.S. information technology sector" to the collapse of the giant Japanese real estate bubble in 1990. They projected a decade or more of depression in the U.S., and no bottom for the dollar, as the Federal Reserve prints dollars madly in response.

Strong Yen is going to destroy them. They can't afford to raise the prices of all their cars and tv's and cam corders so their profit margins will plummet and they'll fall to the Red Chinese.

Heruka:
I'll tell ya what. WHen they can come out of this more than ten year economic crisis they're having over there, THEN I will take their views on economies a bit more serious. They're jealous as everyone is.

"However, who looks ridiculous now?" , Hayami asked. Japan's May foreign current-account surplus more than doubled from a year earlier, and in fiscal 2002 (ending March 2003) "it could be the largest on record," he said, nearing $150 billion, as U.S. trade zooms deeper in deficit. So now "foreign investors all over the world are eager to invest in our glorious Japanese Government Bonds" since the strong yen is raising the value of Japanese holdings in dollar terms. "It's great" Hayami said.

The danger now is that falling stocks will stall the world's biggest economy by making Americans cut back on spending, traders said. On Friday, an index of consumer confidence compiled by the University of Michigan had its steepest decline since the September terrorist attacks against the U.S. Negative Spiral "The risk is increasing that tumbling stocks and the economy go into a negative spiral, pulling each other down,'' said Takashi Miyazaki, one of the investors for 1 trillion yen in stocks at UFJApco Partners Asset Management Co. His company has fewer U.S. stocks and more Japanese equities, proportionally, than are in benchmarks used to gauge performance.

I think he means plunder. Plunder is a more approprite term to use in a situation like this. Not investment.

Hah, the Japanese lie to their people about economics too, then. That tiny little yen was all they had. No resources, no energy, no real estate, no money. I wonder what a Honda Ciivic costs in Japan retail? Mmm ... falafel.
