How would you expect this population trend to affect the credit rating of Japanese government’s bonds? Why?

Q: Why do foreign governments buy US Treasury Bonds?
Saudis, Chinese, Japanese, etc. own billions of US bonds. Why do they put so much money into one single investment when the payout is so little and the US dollar is on shaky ground with all the furious money creation by the Federal Reserve? Why not buy bonds from 50 different nations or just buy gold and silver? Is the US pressuring these nations to buy our bonds?
A: The pressure applies only up to a point. What you have to remember is that all currencies are locked in a perpetual battle where the smallest fluctuations (for you and I) actually represent millions or billions of dollars for the big spenders. If I was worth 100 trillion Yen, I would happily trade 1/2 of that for 1bn dollars or 600mn UK sterling. If any one of those economies fails, I would only have lost a max of 50% of my money. If I had stayed with the Yen and the Yen had crashed, I would have lost a whole lot more. The dollar isn’t really worth any more than any other currency but it’s a good hedge bet against other currencies…
‘They’ play different rules to us, my friend.
Q: Was the $134 billion dollars the Japanese mob’s money train?
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/6/13/742096/-Japan,Italy,and-U.S.,-134-Billion-in-US-Bonds-Smuggling-Case
It is unlikely that the Japanese or another government would use the poor parts of northern Italy for its money and the Japanese would not use Italy. The thing that makes sense is that they were using the Genoa underground banks to transfer their cash to assets and were crossing to France to have it invested in French and Swiss ventures.
A: Possibly, or it could be the legitimate Japanese government trying to get rid of US bonds without selling them on the open market in order to prevent a panic. This situation is really strange, and quite scary. Either way, that amount of money in US securities being ‘moved’ indicates a sinister plot by someone.
Edit: I can’t believe the lack of interest in this situation. I asked a question about it earlier, and have received 3 answers. Guess people just don’t care. Too bad, because we’re on the verge of seeing the dollar dumped, which will lead to an economic crash and hyperinflation.
Q: Italy seizes $135 *BILLION* of U.S. Bonds? Have you seen this?
Milan (AsiaNews) – Italy’s financial police (Guardia italiana di Finanza) has seized US bonds worth US 134.5 billion from two Japanese nationals at Chiasso (40 km from Milan) on the border between Italy and Switzerland. They include 249 US Federal Reserve bonds worth US$ 500 million each, plus ten Kennedy bonds and other US government securities worth a billion dollar each.
Italian authorities have not yet determined whether they are real or fake, but if they are real the attempt to take them into Switzerland would be the largest financial smuggling operation in history; if they are fake, the matter would be even more mind-boggling because the quality of the counterfeit work is such that the fake bonds are undistinguishable from the real ones.
That’s some crazy sh*t. What do you think?
http://www.asianews.it/index.php?l=en&art=15456&size=A
A: Holy crap, that would have seriously f**ked up our currency. Nice work Italy.
Q: If you were a leader in The Axis Of Weasels, How would you take advantage of Obama’s America?
Iran and N. Korea are already pouncing. Some Japanese nationals were even caught with counterfeit bonds in the Billions at the Italian border, quietly covered up, strangely enough the bonds are very similar to N. Korea’s government counterfeit design of U.S. currency a few years ago…
…I guess it’s all good as long as you get your picture on magazines.
A: Obama is total disaster. Far worse than I imagined.
Dufuss Biden predicted this would happen and he is no genuis for doing so…Obama reeks with cluelessness naivete…a gullible simple little idealist who hasnt got a clue. His presidency is like blood in the water for our adversaries.
Q: Why isn’t anyone talking about the 134.5 billion in US bonds smuggled……?
by two Japanese nationals? They were caught at the Italian border with 134.5 billion in US bonds in a suitcase.
It is not sure whether the bonds are real or counterfeit, but in either case, this is a monumental story – only a government could have access to this amount of bonds – real or counterfeit, and the fact that they are moving them could signal a panic in the bond market.
Why is the mainstream media focused on stories about Palin and turtle tunnels, when they should be investigating an incident that could ultimately destroy the US economy once and for all?
A: Why is the liberal media ignoring this atrocity?
Because they know that if the public learned of the incompetency of the Federal Reserve and Obama’s appointees in charge of expenditures and his investigation into recent missing funds the PUBLIC would be outraged and his worship would no longer have support of the masses.
The Federal Reserve has admitted to missing money…funds they can NOT account for in excess of ….wait for it….
9 TRILLION DOLLARS……..gone….missing
Investigators have no answers for where or how. This $134.5B is a mere drop in the bucket. There is some major corruption at the highest levels of our government and the liberal media ignores it out of fear.
They might be required to pay back the loans held against them, if they can’t pay in full…then who knows. The CEO and other top executives could be forced to retire and replaced with an Obama appointee…that’s how it works these days.
Hard to believe? check it..

Q: What Has Happened To The Famous British Car Manufacturers?
The Great British Empire used to rule the world and then became the richest nation in the world. But of course time moves on and we would expect change and wealth to be spread throughout other nations. But one of the major blunders of last century has got be the creation of famous motoring marques and the inability to keep these famous car manufacturing brands afloat.
Can you imaging Ford, Chrysler, GM motors in the USA ever stop making cars? Could you imaging the Japanese such as Honda, Nissan, and Mazda ever stop making cars? Then when you come back to Europe, could you imagine Italy allowing Fiat or Ferrari to close down and stop making cars? Of course you could’t and the fact is, it just would’t happen and this would be the case in several other nations around the world.
Several manufacturers in the States have at time been in financial trouble, have got through those time because it was essential to survive. Fiat in recent times, have been in trouble because of unreliable cars, but they are still here.
However in the UK we don’t seem to see the value in maintaining our motoring heritage, if it can’t be profitable, then it must die, it does not matter about the marque or how the world sees the UK. Ironically from a nation that has so much history within such a small island, you would also think that it would mean much more.
Here are some examples
Austin 1905 to 1986
Hilman 1907 to 1976
Lagonda 1906 to 1990
Alvis 1920 to 1967
MG 1923 to 2005
Morris 1913 to 1984
Riley 1906 to 1969
Triumph 1923 to 1984
Sunbeam 1899 to 1976
There are some names still around, Lotus owned by GM motors, Mini owned by BMW, Land Rover owned by BMW, Jaguar owned by Ford and of course James Bond’s favorite car the Aston Martin, which has just been bought by a consortium back from Ford. Lets hope it remains in the UK!
The MG may also find its way back on to the UK roads but owned by a Chinese company, Nanjing Automobile, which is quite a horrifying thought as these cars will probably be made in China, but from a positive point of view, I doubt Nanjing will ever go bust. The Chinese just won’t let it.
Ironically in Sunderland in the North East of England there is a Nissan factory that produces some of Nissan’s smaller cars. This factory regularly beats other Nissan factories around the world in quantity and quality, so the issue in the UK is not about the workforce, within the right environment we can match anyone.
The issue is around management, controlling costs and the support from the government, that all large businesses need a hand from time to time. A lot of British Marques disappeared in the seventies when many of the brand names came together as British Leyland. This was probably the biggest mistake in British car manufacturing, as cars were badly made, suffered from strikes for bad working conditions and benefits and there was just no pride in the brand.
Yet in the 21st century we can make foreign brands with a pride and a high standard for other brands. Lets hope we hold on to the names that have survived, even if they are owned by foreign manufacturers, at least there is a chance, just like Aston Martin they may eventually return to British ownership.
A: I believe the Rootes Group was purchased by Chrysler, then Peugeot….
Oddly enough Ford of Europe is currently doing much better than Ford in the US
