fyi - cnbc just showed that after Kobie the japanese mkt fell
26%, unfortunately I missed the time frame, not sure if weeks or
months (may have been 4).
personally i believe that the effect will be highest in the
short term when Japans industries closes - the demand for copper
and oil will decrease, which may turn out to be good for inflation.
i really don't believe that the fed will take any decisions based
on the tragic earthquake in Japan, but the decreased
inflation is good for Fed if they chooses take a new round with
QE.
