No doubt it will help, but I think it would be a big mistake to underestimate how serious the situation really is.

You hit the nail on the head – AAA status and dollar as the currency reserve is what will help US tide over the current crisis.

Although it may not sound insane the fact that US is doing slightly less worse than ther rest of the world is actually good for the rest of the world.

Hello Simpless!!

Yes, Japan has very tough times ahead..not sure how they will react. Truth is that few have ideas about how to get back to a healthy economy…

Hi IS,

Good analysis. I don’t think that the same is to be expected of the US economy either.

Even a few months ago, some predicted that Japan’s economy would be the best performing among the world’s most advanced nations… The Japanese government and Japanese companies will have to adjust very, very quickly, if they do not want to live a second time the so-called lost decade!!!
