Greg ...As Japan goes so does the world...

if you interpret "the world" for mobile phones to be Asia going forward you're probably right

in the 1100-1300s a.d. i read that Japan was primarily a Christian nation. 3 million christians were slaughtered by the ruling junta of the day to prevent the entire country from becoming christianized. so Japan gutted their religious fantasies of the day to appease the ruling few. they've tended toward total makeovers to justify the "ruling class" for both technology and social-isms (my thinking anyway). China subsequently followed. there does seem to be a connection between how Japan goes and the rest of Asia ends up.

it does seem that Asia follows Japan. Asia reprsents the largest mobile market for the 21st century according to the journals. so, it is probably irrelevant what the rest of the world does relative to Japan. what does appear important is how Asia will follow. if Asia follows Japan; it will be principally because well over 2/3(?) of the manufacturing of mobile technology for Asia is currently occurring in Japan. $10 billion is nothing when compared to the cost of helping retain Asia.

that being said, the sell off in Q is still puzzling
