Many Japanese importers will ordsprog

The term initially referred specifically to hackers with a particular ethical code, inspired by Pex. Many Japanese importers will have their last business day of the year on Wednesday. They needed the dollar for the year-end settlements of their businesses.

The dollar's average break-even level for Japanese manufacturers is estimated at 115.32 yen for the current business year. So if the dollar slips to around 115 yen, that should be pretty negative to Japan's corporate earnings and its economy.

The dollar met strong resistance due to selling by Japanese importers and speculators, and turned softer against the yen.

The bottom line financially is that we believe QED can be a billion dollar a year business for us within five years, and we think that it will be neutral to our earnings this year,

Obviously, no one is pleased with what happened last year. I didn't see it coming, but I don't expect it that way again. We had a bad year. We had a great year [in 2003], a solid year [in 2004] and a bad year. We have gone about our business trying to fix weaknesses. And we're still open for business. We have a long way to go until Opening Day.

We're all just pretty disappointed. It was a long year, a tough year, a disappointing year. We're a lot better than what we've shown all year. I think everyone knows that. We just didn't come together like we needed to. There wasn't the cohesiveness we needed on this team.

What I'm seeing is that confidence in the Japanese economy is starting to gain. And as people get more comfortable investing in Japanese equities and other Japanese assets, they need to buy yen. And as they buy these yen, the dollar goes down.

Now is a good yen-selling opportunity for Japanese importers.

When the yen falls against the dollar it changes the appetite of Japanese investors for U.S. bonds. Recently, as the yen has fallen against the dollar, dollar bonds look more expensive to Japanese investors and they buy fewer of them.

What's striking is the near unanimity of many of the opinions and attitudes expressed by these businesses. The majority (55.4 percent) say they are better off now than a year ago, and an astonishing 84 percent of businesses -- and nearly 90 percent of San Francisco and Sacramento firms surveyed -- believe their businesses will be even better off a year from now. Their expectations of sales and revenue increases and anticipation that their individual businesses will do better paints a picture far more optimistic than we could have imagined. They simply are not letting anything get them down.

As long as rates stay so low in Japan the outflows by Japanese investors will persist. I think we'll see the dollar head back to 120 yen early next year.

We've gotten some money from other settlements [between companies working with Enron]. But the Enron settlements look like pennies on the dollar due to bankruptcy.

Due to fresh concerns over interest rate hikes, Japanese institutional investors, who normally start buying the dollar from around the beginning of the new fiscal year are not so active right now.

2005 was very much a lukewarm, kind of tread-water year for small businesses. That has to do with the challenges facing small businesses: Costs went way up during the year, health care is up double digits, fuel, raw materials, oil for delivery trucks, all that was significantly higher than it was in the past. On top of that is uncertainty in the marketplace. Are we in a recession or in growth mode? Ask four different economists and you'll get four different answers. And as an owner of a business, it's very difficult to figure out how to operate in an uncertain marketplace.

We need everyone's help to keep TBA together. We are all small businesses, and everyone's help is needed. I'm afraid there are some small businesses that may not make another year. We are down from 67 members to 64.
