They are printing so fast they increased the money supply by 3.4% in the last 10 day period.

US interest rates have doubled. Typically this should cause the dollar to go up relative to currencies with much lower interest rates that did not go up.

They got rid of the "bank note rule" so there is no limit to the number of Yen any more and have said they will double the number of Yen.

The government is spending twice what they get in taxes and needs the central bank to fund the deficit.

How could the Yen not crash?

As we know it will spread from the emerging nations drying up. Potable water, then wheat as they loot in the carbon scams
of scarce captial. The banks will and are buying things that can be nailed down if you missed that memo.

What would be your definition of that?
Mostly I think the stock market will crash.
Your guess of 3.5% is a good estimate of where the stock market can run into more serious trouble. But if that happens as soon as this Fall I don't think things will fall completely to pieces until 2016.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

Haven't seen it here. But I have noticed in the past that when people in other parts of the country mention it, we see it here a few months after that.

What I've noticed is any fixed utility like a land line or a sewer charge has about doubled over the past 5 years. Today I'd hate to be a landlord trying to squeeze sewer payments out of people who are already broke.

Rove says White house is Amateur hour. To busy paying hidden taxes Rovey.
Orontes Valley is a difficult study for those of that disipline on how the west solved that region.

Yes , Higgenbotham people are being squeezed.

We got out of the apartment rental business over a year ago, ( glad we did ) transferred assets into a different type of hard income property, can't complain. Regarding apartment rental. We concentrated on older single occupancy units, small studios ( which can no longer be built due to zoning - government messes it up again ). -- About fifteen years ago -in Chicago - they were considered like flophouses , for the down and out, and banks did not want to make loans on them. However we geared our units for the singles market, college students etc. and did well in a generally overlooked niche, generally banks did not want to make loans on "student" housing. By the time we sold we noticed older singles and "middle class singles" taking units due to "income issues" - such as college graduates employed as waiters trying to survive. Also banks changed and wanted to make loans on properties with small units in good areas. Rents have gone up, but not much. What is going to be interesting, is cities and counties trying to collect more taxes from landlords who can't collect more rent because the tenants aren't making more money. The Big Squeeze , not enough producers ----------- hmmmmmm

My dream investment plan is first stock market crash, then with profits from that into Yen puts, then Yen crash, then move into gold/silver and those go way up as dollar goes down, then with high interest rates and 2 main banks in trouble in Anguilla and forced by IMF to sell land there is lots of land cheap and I get some of that.

I don't think everything will fall apart as much as you seem to, at least not right away.
The yen isn't going to crash.
Unless China declares war on Japan.

from my post on on sept 13 world view --


We are being played as fools because we do not want to be politically UNcorrect { politically correct, def.-conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated} ---- We can not bring ourselves to calling a spade a spade. Thanks to our educational system and the media. {To "call a spade a spade" is a figure of speech which explicitly calls out something as it is; by its right name. The implication is to not lie about what something is and to instead speak honestly and directly about a topic, specifically topics that others may avoid speaking about due to their sensitivity, unpleasant or embarrassing nature.}

Question. How can one make intelligent decisions based on suppressed information, half truths and lies?

Soft Landings and Other Collective Delusions http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/20 ... -delusions

“If the names are not correct, if they do not match realities, language has no object. If language is without an object, action becomes impossible—and therefore, all human affairs disintegrate and their management becomes pointless.”

Confucious (translated by Simon Leys)

New York Review of Books

As George Orwell wrote:

"The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible."

Unless we start calling a spade a spade ,--- we will experience severe pain, because we will be too far down the rabbit hole.

They always tell us just go back to sleep. We are just blood bags to them. What ever happened over there, or here we will never ever know the facts.
Like I told the wife today if your not sure then down load it if your not sure since if they scrub it off the net why ask your self that question later since it
is just facts now. Nobody but maniacs kills women and children so start there or shut up. Point is the government here relegated to local issues only
until they are told what top do anyways. If you doubt that your rip van winkle or worse, a taxpayer who are in vast numbers basically brain dead anyways.
