I’m so glad to find an article discussing the true issue causing the dramatic moves in this stock market and if this is not corrected we run the risk of further financial collapse. The danger of the Yen Carry Trade is made worse by the global leaders that are unaware of the direct relation with it’s responsiblity to the stock market’s instability. Thus, these leaders are making it worse by cutting each countries interest rates which devalues their currency against the Yen and puts additional pressure to unwind this trade. Look at a chart of the EuroJPY versus the Dow or any etf including gold and oil and you will notice an almost minute by minute inverse relationship. This issue is serious. Although this might sound crazy do you think there is any way to get a message to our new or current President? It would shock the world if Obama publically mentioned that he planned to put pressure on Japan to lower the value of the Yen and intended to discuss this with the G7 in addition to discussing world wide limits on currency trades. These leveraged limits are critical now that the world can trade our markets at the push of a button with the invention of the Internet and the ETFs in 1999 and more importantly their astronomical growth in only the past 5 years. Apologies for the lengthy comment.

@Deb – Excellent question and I will write a follow up tonight – there are more implications than just currency… I haven’t forgotten about your questions on inflation, deflation and stagflation, etc. It’s on the to-do list! :)

Preet – could you explain further what the implications of the carry-trade deleveraging means to the broad market, esp our north american markets? Is it mostly a currency concern? Thanks.

It’s nice how you take information that normally I would just gloss over in the paper and make it so digestible. I’m beginning to really take a deeper interest in the business section. Ever thought about doing a column?
