Ugly, Ugly Macro Chart... Running Japanese Investment Over By A Bus

08/27/08 01:34PM EDT
When my teammate, Andrew Barber, brought up this data point in our morning meeting today, I said "pardon?"!

Toyota reported sales in Japan for the month of July today. For the 23rd consecutive month, the number of trucks & buses sold by Japan’s largest auto company in their home market declined on a percentage basis vs. the same month in the prior calendar year.

Ben Bernanke and Co. please look at this chart. This is what happens when economies are ran into the ground by Keynesian easy money bailout policy makers. No one wants to invest domestically/commercially, even though the money is free!
