Japan, the ticking time bomb

Now, after all this news, Japan market is up this morning by 0.66%

 

It's the Sovereign debt that is in trouble and not just Japan. The Whole of the first world is collectively bankrupt. Despite the semantics of piezone's no debt theory, you cannot keep printing ad infinitum and suffer no consequences. Who knew MMT was a farce?

So in a Sovereign debt default what do you buy? Equities, Real Estate & Commodities especially Gold. So no surprise that Japanese equities are rising. What do you short to zero? Long Sovereign Bonds. The 40 year JGBs are doomed. GTFO now.

 

Do you see them selling US debt to get liquidity?
That looks like their plan all along.

 

That’s the structural vulnerability of trade deficits generated by strong dollar and it’s role as a reserve currency.

It's role as a sole reserve currency is not forever. Fiat currencies are potemkin villages.

 

At the 10-minute mark, the narrator said that Japan's population peaked in 2008 at 128 million, and has been declining ever since. That they're on pace to lose half their population by the end of this century.

At the 10:30 mark, the narrator advised that this year it's been estimated that over 300 million Japanese citizens will be over the age of 60.

That is some serious math. Way above my pay grade.

 

It is Youtube sir,

The point was to discuss Japan's crisis, not to act as an auditor of these so-called content creators.

 

I agree. But you'd think they'd watch the video at least once before uploading it.

 

If that is the case, why include it in OP?
