 Strong Yen Dings Japan Car Exports

Japan's three largest auto makers are signaling plans to shift more production overseas to deal with the strong yen, moves that may mark the end of the country's role as one of the world's biggest auto export hubs.

The never-ending euro-zone crisis has left its mark on markets around the world. It has also left an indelible stain on the language of investors.

Ever since Merkozy became shorthand for the pivotal pairing of German Chancellor Angela Merkel with former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, a number of ugly portmanteaus have sprung up. Most obviously, Grexit has become shorthand for a Greek exit from the euro zone. Others include Quitaly and Fixit for either Italy or Finland leaving the currency union.

While Overheard is no fan of such awkward additions to the market vernacular, a short brainstorm did yield a few additions in case events should head in certain unexpected directions. Defaulta, should Malta hit financial difficulties. Severlands, if the Netherlands should balk at ever closer European integration. And, should the full force of the financial crisis reach the core of Europe: "Leave la France."

The danger is that such a society, dazzled by the abundance of its growing fertility and caught in the smooth functioning of a never ending process, would no longer be able to recognise its own futility - the futility of a life that, 'does not fix or realise itself in any permanent subject which endures after its labour is past.'" Adam Smith
