A boom factor that is not factored into most forecasts -Japan recovers, starts spending.

Talk about pent-up consumer and business demand - HUGE amounts of cash, T-bills, foreign currency, etc. Some of it earning interest externally....

Not sure where the consumers will find room to put much stuff, but once they start to buy, it will be a tsunami...

Tankan is up, stock market is up....

Japan has 2nd largest GDP, very high per capita.

They will need beach front houses in warm places, golf courses, flat panel TVs, vacation trips, silk clothing, etc. etc.
