“Fears of dollar collapse as Saudis take fright”

Japanese Shift Cash Out of U.S. Investments

TOKYO, Nov. 22 — Many in Japan are starting to speak of “quitting America,” but they are not talking about a rise in anti-American political fervor. Rather, they mean a move away from American investments that is altering global capital flows and helping to weaken the dollar.

The move is seen in decisions of individual investors like Daijo Okudaira, a 66-year-old clerk at a Tokyo consulting company. Like many Japanese, Mr. Okudaira had long limited his overseas investments to the relative safety of securities from developed countries, particularly the United States.

Starting late last year, however, Mr. Okudaira made drastic changes to his portfolio, putting $50,000 into mutual funds focusing on stocks in China and other emerging economies. He said he had been drawn to these countries because they seemed to hold much brighter growth prospects than the United States.

“People say the engine of the global economy is shifting from the United States to emerging countries,” Mr. Okudaira said. “Emerging countries have growth and energy that America and Europe lack. They remind me of Japan 40 years ago.”………..

There has NEVER been a price control that worked – read your economic history

Attempts to regulate the free markets always make matters worse

Wow, if you can earn some Euros, you can earn an extra 50% on your money tax free (if spent in the US). I just bought Babolat shoes in Germany and they cost 100 Euros there and 100 dollars here.
