Of course the yen is falling. Japan was just hit with a major earthquake and tsunami and is facing billions upon billions in damages. Given the fact that we are all in a recession, and Japan's economy has taken a hit as well, it stands to reason that investors are questioning whether or not Japan can afford to recover from this disaster.
Stock markets generally go down in the event of a disaster.

Look, I'm not trying to bust your chops, this is how I talk and I was just putting my point out there that:
a) no magic beings are involved
and
b) HAARP technology is not capable of the insidious deeds that everyone seems to blame it for
So, if you don't like my delivery of the above message, well nothing I can do about that, but HAARP consipiracy theorists, much like their chemtrail and alien abductee folks, need a good healthy dose of reality.

Sometimes Mother Nature wins. It's rather egotistical to think that all events are man-made. Further, why would we be going after the Yen? If we were looking to merely prop up the dollar, I don't think Japan's economy would be the one we hit first.
