Bang for your buck<http://www.japaninc.com/The_Hatoyama_government_will_delay_on_defense_policy>

Is it time for Japan to ramp up its defense spending?

By Tobias Harris

Busy with the hard work of introducing a new policymaking process,
rewriting the 2010 budget from scratch so to make room for the
programs promised in the DPJ's election manifesto, and finding a way
to extract concessions from the Obama administration on the
realignment of US forces in Japan, it is understandable that the
Hatoyama government has been relatively silent on the question of
defense ministry reform...

The yen should soon display signs of
weakness<http://www.japaninc.com/yen_should_weaken>

By Ian Copsey

As we move into the last quarter of the year there seems to be a
slowing in the Dollar’s weakness and I’ll hazard a call suggesting it
has already found a low. That’s not only against the yen but against
the European currencies also...

I am shocked that you're
shocked<http://www.japaninc.com/I_am_Shocked_That_You%27re_Shocked>

By Cassandra

It is undoubtedly all over the web, the news reported by Bloomberg
that The (aptly named) Galleon's been hit sending her and her booty
plummeting to the icy depths. Her buccaneering skipper's been taken
prisoner and is presently in irons (along with friends and friends of
friends). I think this is most excellent, even if it is only a small
flesh wound to the crony form capitalism...
