thanks for the kind words bobnat. My apologize to traderabc and nader. I was in a foul mood when i posted. However, corporations do not consider interest rate differentials when considering acquisitions. It does not make sense from a strategic stand point. I can not defend that point anymore then that. In addition, by buying a Japanese corporation you are not just investing in the japanese economy. The last time I took a look Japan was a large exporting nation no? And where do they export to?
I am not arguing with you nadar regarding interest rate differentials but from and m&a perspective your logic is flawed.
tommyfx is dead on here and you all are entitled to your opinion but it is just not the case from an insiders perspective.
TraderABC do you think every bank trader makes money because they know what they have one their books? While the info is helpful it is by no means a way to print money.
Also, stocks in what sector do no typically appreciate in expanding economy's? TraderABC I am not trying to be a jerk but where are you getting your information from?
