IMF says monetary easing could drive asset bubble

A bubble would be good news. My clients here in Tokyo have doing nothing but cutting their budgets for the last several years. A bubble would mean they're spending, hiring and paying decent wages again.

Is this the same IMF that inflicted austerity on various economies, but just recently admitted it had been wrong all these years?

This is all going to end in tears as it did 20 years ago.

I swear to god I read the exact same comment made by another JT user. Did you get your accounts mixed up? Or did you get kicked off for trolling?

This is all going to end in tears...and wailing and gnashing of teeth, as EVERY bubble(gov created) always has.

As has been said countless times, "The higher the mountain, the deeper the valley."

Have you ever heard the expression, "Hot Money." Bernanke is one of our greatest warriors in dismantling Red China. We have recently convinced PM Abe to join us in forcing the BOJ into creating more hot money that will be pumped into Hong Kong and from there into the Chinese economy, creating massive inflation and seeming wealth.

After all, that hot money from Quantitative Easing by Bernanke is not creating inflation in the US, is it? Only in China. Now we need the BOJ to join us in creating more hot money that will not affect inflation in Japan but create a bigger asset bubble in the Chinese economy. Together, we'll blow the yuan to smithereens.

You remember that expression, the inscrutable mind. That's America, dude, not China. We are inscrutable, and you have no idea on how many fronts we are attacking China for daring to question the sovereignty of the Senkakus.

Japan Abenomics will result in very quick boom-bust cycle not only in Japan but Asia like 1997-8 Asian Crisis. For Japan it will be worst because unlike 1998, population now in 2013 is a lot older and aging, while National debts are a lot higher at 240% of GDP unlike then at about 80%. Asset bubble remains a short-term quick fix; the after effects maybe a lot worst. Strategically now is the time to liquidate Japanese stocks and go to other countries. Japan also has major earthquake and nuclear crisis risks which markets have so quickly forgotten.
