Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

In questionable taste, but...I wonder if the BOJ's job of injecting nigh on $190 billion will settle the market jitters.

I have a suspicionthat it won't make much difference.
I fell the problem is actually bored traders, who just use a good disaster as an excuse to goose the market.
Every report I have seen in the last few days has some extremely tenuous looking link to the Japanese problems.
It's the same with the 3 year long run on commodities. It all started when bear sterns issued a report saying they thought sugar was undervalued. There was really nothing more than a half arsed opinion in the report, but sugar doubled in a month, and has never got back to anywhere near where it was. All this bollocks about shortages etc are about 10% of the problem. The rest is bored brokers.
