    Default May want to hold off on those YJA purchases

    The Yen is getting stronger, hasn't been this strong since the end of 1995. Great for US sellers, bad for buyers.

    Ah, I remember those 120 days so fondly!

    Exchange rate

    Historical

    Look at that rate in the early 70's, no wonder so many mechanicals came over then!

    The Dollar dropped to less than 100Y at 11:00am today. Yeah, I know it didn't stay there.

    Expect more Japanese tourists this year!
