Market's crashing....... show me the money

They'll ALL go down in flames, just hang on, it's coming-Janet Yellen is the 'FED' Nazi, along with her assistants-She is a habitual liar, and has NEVER told the truth about anything, because IF she did, she would have been dead a long time ago- She was partners with Ben Beryankme-

Yep the Yen has indeed gone up, and Japan is not happy about that. In fact they are concerned that it may arrest their efforts to stimulate their economy. Keep in mind we are not talking a huge growth here, but one or two percent. Nor is it just up against the USD, but against most other currencies. Most experts expect the Bank of Japan to step in quickly with interventions to lower the value.

The bonds are a little disconcerting, as that means investors are buying bonds guaranteed to LOSE them money. They must be very nervous about Japan's economy to do that. On the other hand, with interest rates going negative in general, there are not a lot of other places to put your money if you want to move away from a stock heavy position. Since stocks in general have not done well, losing around 10% last year, this is somewhat understandable. Keep in mind, while things have not been great here, when the US get's an economic cold, the rest of the world ends up in ICU.

Let us not forget that oil is the lowest it has been in years, and while that is good, it also exerts some deflationary pressure, driving down prices in general, not so good. As far as the renminbi, goes, China keeps it tightly controlled with a very limited float, after all they do not want to let it rise and take away their trade advantage. Big deal, the dinar is not allowed to float either and you know what that's worth....

Rio Tinto? Heck they have been circling the drain for years, earnings are down (again) dividend cut, sharply decreased sales due to the floundering economy in general and China in particular ... no currency wars, no imminent collapse, the only bull I see is Gerry Maguire's scare tactics.
