...buying the Japanese yen, the world's most obviously undervalued money, which is likely to rise within several months. The speculation was mild only because Japan tightly controls the exchange of yen, leaving little available for purchase abroad. The price of gold, the traditional refuge for savers who distrust paper money, jumped in London to a 21-month high of $41.50 an ounce...
