The recognition came early Monday, when Tokyo said that Japan’s economy was valued at about $1.28 trillion in the second quarter, slightly below China’s $1.33 trillion. Japan’s economy grew 0.4 percent in the quarter, Tokyo said, substantially less than forecast.

China will pass the United States as the world’s biggest economy as early as 2030. America’s gross domestic product was about $14 trillion in 2009.

瑞穂Mizuho Bank was established on April 1, 2002 by the merger of Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank with the retail operations of Fuji Bank and the Industrial Bank of Japan. All three predecessors were major financial institutions in their own right and had served as cornerstones of major zaibatsu (prewar era) and keiretsu (postwar era).

In the merger of the three banks, Dai-Ichi Kangyo was renamed Mizuho Bank and inherited the group’s individual, small business and local/regional government services, while institutional banking services were consolidated into Fuji Bank, which was renamed Mizuho Corporate Bank.

The two banks were initially consolidated under a holding company, Mizuho Holdings. On October 1, 2005 they were transferred to a new holding vehicle, Mizuho Financial Group.

The key takeaways I want to share with this board are that commodities futures are overpriced and that the fund doesn’t really care about its performance. It’s purpose is to offer a trading vehicle for people who want to trade commodities futures via the stock market. However, the fund is so large it has to trade short term futures because that is where the volume, liquidity (and volatility) are. Far too many people are buying these futures and the prices are too high relative to the spot prices. Consequently, as a result of “contango” the futures cost more than the spot price and rapidly lose value as delivery approaches (and speculators become sellers).
