    Grey Imports - the Japanese Yen

    If anyone is thinking about doing this and paying direct to Japan, the yen is at all time lows, so there has never been a better time all other things being equal. As far as we can tell the dollar will contniue to weaken medium-term, albeit with ups and downs on the way, which tends to drag the...

    You may have noticed the site dissapeared for a long period of time both yesterday and today. The hosting company blame it on one of their main fiber links being cut. They switched to a backup (which should have kicked in automatically and didn't) yesterday, and then this was cut today causing...
