Japanese Yen: up or down vs. the US$? Which will come first: 87 ¥ or 93 ¥ by Nov. 30, 2009?

Settled as 1 US$ drops to 87 ¥ or below - the dollar stinks

On November 27, JPY dropped to 86.70

Background:

Background: The ¥ started the year at around 91 to the $. Since May, it had bounced between 92 and 99 ¥, but the $ has been sliding lately. In early August the $ peaked at over 97.6¥, but as I write this 1$ = 90.1150 ¥. Please note: past performance is no guarantee of future results!
So, will the dollar continue to slump and drop to 87 ¥ or below, climb back to 93 ¥ or above, or remain between the two values by end of trading on November 30, 2009? Settlement will be based on closing price as reported on www.finance.yahoo.com/currency-investing between now and November 30, 2009 (inclusive).

Settlement details:As reported by http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-investing between now and end of trading November 30, 2009
