Shiller: US could likely to fall into deflationary spiral ala Japan

[briansd1]

CA renter, thanks for the clarification. I understand your position better now.

It seems to me like we’ve had deflation. Consumer goods and furniture are definitely cheaper now than in 1998.

Cars with the same level of size/performance/accessories are also cheaper.

Housing, health care and education have gone through the roof.

Bernanke is having the opportunity to test out his theories.

Yen is trading at 15-year high recently. I heard the theory was:
1. Since the rest of the world is becoming Japan, there is no reason to avoid Japanese Yen and its associated assets.
2. Chinese government is diversifying its dollar holding into Yen holding, which may explain why FED has to start resorting printing machine to hold down the treasury yield.

Update. I’ve now also taken a significant leveraged position that is short oil.

If this is now the double dip recession, oil will get hit also.
