A Half-Baked Idea

Folks,
One of the uses I hope with this list is to launch ideas half-baked for your
comments and inputs. AS you may recall from the class I talked about using
Japanese interest rates of or Japanese suppliers to lower your interest
costs...
well, Japan central rates are now 1/4 of a percent, whereas our is some 16
times that...a huge spread... well, according to forbes, it isnt just small
importers who are getting cheap Japan interest rates..it appear USA companies
are buying into joint ventures in Japan so they can qualify for dirt cheap
Japanese money...,
Well.. the half baked idea is why not do this at the small biz level too?
"Why not" is half way... I have not thought up a plausible scenario, and
wonder if any of you might?
