With the us dollar so low against nearly all currencies why does it continue to do well against the Yen?
I don't understand the strength of the dollar against the yen. How come it does so well against the yen? Is it the fact they have low interest rates in japan? I am making money in the stock market, but am finding that I am making more dollars that are worth less v other currencies. Any opinions on just buying yen and betting they'll appreciate against the dollar or the yen's weakeness some sort of statistical or mathematical imbalance/anamoly. I doubt that...just wondering what the math whizzes think about it.

there are two strategies... when one currency going up and other going down... 1. If one conuntry's economy no good its currency going down....aginst others... 2. If both countries not doing well , it does not make big difference... Not only yen but swiss franc is also weak aginst U.S. At this time, Canada, India, china , european economy is excellent.....so thats why big difference between U.S $...

The yen has the lowest interest rates, so many global investors borrow in yen (having to pay almost no interest) and invest in other higher-yielding currencies and asset classes -- the so-called "carry trade." Thus, the yen is being sold very heavily around the world. Meanwhile, US Treasuries are still considered by many to be the safest securities in the world, so many investors (including sovereign states) make a nice, safe yield differential in USD/JPY. There are two relevant factors when it comes to currency valuations: interest-rates and purchasing power. Trends persist far longer than most people anticipate, so I wouldn't jump into the yen until it actually reverses. You could be waiting for a while. But I agree, the yen is due for a rebound, and when that happens, you're going to see a nasty fallout in almost all asset classes. I would also say that USD is due for a rebound. A statistical analysis might find the euro to be overvalued, if anything.

How can America help Japan if America is in debt financially?
isn't it a little stupid for America to make people send money for help when America is in this recession?

The US is providing assistance mostly in the form of direct aid provided by the US military already stationed in Japan. I don't know of any other mandatory contributions US citizens are being forced to make. The global economy is so interlinked that a disaster in one nation has a direct effect on nearly all other nations. Japan has the third largest economy in the world and contributes a large share of the world's GDP. In this case, helping Japan is only helping ourselves too in that it will speed the resumption of normal economic activity. That aside and most importantly, Japan is inhabited by human beings who need help. Anyone with morals would see the need to offer assistance in any way possible. Some things are simply more important than money ( a lot of things actually!). The Japanese government DID offer and provide assistance to the US for the Katrina disaster in New Orleans. Japan's public debt is more than twice that of the US's in percentage of GDP terms. I say we owe them one.

The U.S. government will probably send rescue aid via the military and through other means. The Obama-led government will just print more money and devalue the dollar like they have been and not worry about it even though we are headed towards an economic catastrophe if this continues.

Isn't it also a little stupid that a 600 dollar accessory, called the Ipad 2, sells out the weekend it comes out, right when this happens? People do have money they clearly don't need for themselves. Not everyone is in this situation. But there are plenty of people who have money to spend. 270 million dollars spent for an accessory in one weekend I think proves that.

Technically, if you're on a working visa, you can only have one job. Therefore, no you aren't legally allowed to do it. However, no one will probably know and you won't have any problems if you do this.
2 :
The JET contract states that you cannot get paid for doing private lessons, so you are not allowed to give private lessons because it would violate your contract. Some Boards of Education organize evening eikaiwa classes for adults or tutoring for kids outside of the JET's regular working hours, but rather than getting paid for such lessons you get vacation time equal to your evening lesson hours. Some versions of the JET contract say that if you have special permission from the Board of Education or your school you can give paid private lessons, but it is highly unlikely that you would be granted such permission. However, JETs get paid more and have better benefits than most other ALTs.

The people above are exactly right; technically no, you can't. But most of the JETs in my area do have private lessons. There are many benefits to teaching private, not just the money, so they have a lot going for them.
