Good points.

I heard Japanese manufacturers are cutting back or stopping production in order to save the energy for citizens and hospitals etc. Very noble.

Yes, but of course there is only one REAL god! All of those other gods are made up. The only god that matters is the one that your parents brought you up to believe in, everyone knows that.

First person ever to my ignore list. Troll #1 in my books.

100% agreement isn't nearly enough for this story! We must make it 1000%!

I wouldn't worry too much about the radiation disaster scenario just yet, although I suppose it is prudent to plan ahead just in case... But the other side of the coin is reduced demand for oil, steel, copper, etc. due to the reduced capacity for Japan to produce.

Based purely on the USD/JPY cross that I've been watching closely, achilles appears to be correct at the moment. But what you're saying makes sense as well. Perhaps what we will see is credit destruction due to the natural disaster, followed by credit creation due to the BOJ pumping liquidity...

Since you apparently have access to the "real" video, could you kindly post for us as well?

Hasn't the OP been calling for a collapse of the USD for, oh I don't know, two years now?

Then why bother having any other forum?

No different from a tax hike but it is different from an interest rate rise. People have a choice whether or not to borrow money, and how much.

No it won't. That's what I said. But it doesn't mean every piece of information belongs in the Economics forum. Think carefully.

How do you propose forcing people to save for a pension? Do you think the public would react positively to the government forcing them to do something with their money?
