Forcing the Bank of Japan to keep printing more money printing more money -- -- the only thing that's keeping this alive.

Is all of the cheap money flowing in record low interest rate.

Did you read the minutes that just came out for five years ago from the Fed.

Prior to the meltdown did hybrid I didn't they missed the whole day -- yeah they all of this -- so why should I.

Consider what someone who's been wrong as continually as he has.

Believe in what I listened wireless yeah it's good consistently wrong unless he did.

To me the markets always been.

Measure of corporate earnings just all really is.

And where -- you gotta put your money when interest rates is so -- you can't put in the bank.

So that's is keeping all of this going again.

The word -- -- -- LBO.

Leveraged Buyouts.

Yes it's the pump keeps going.

What it'll slow the economy down move but we're already slow we're already so are you worried about.

It was a currency war going on.

You have them is the bank -- is that people in Japan it will lowering interest rates lowering interest rates.

And that devalues your currency at an injury like -- on what I'm right I'm right there with -- generally it it's fantasy currency in my in my book exact so.

One reality hits.
