As you know, Japanese stock prices are presently less than half what they were at their peak over ten years ago. This is the "new era" for Japan. The Japanese are extrapolating from past experience and there is little interest in the stock market there. Twelve years ago Japan was the great economic tiger, all set to surpass the United States. Wealthy Japanese tourists were all over the globe with their travelers checks and cameras. I saw them in Paris--and in droves going to visit Ann of Green Gables's house in Prince Edward Island (the novel is a great favorite in Japan).

Your best course would be to convert your wealth into actual dollars, pay the taxes, and buy inflation-indexed treasury bonds. For excitement, you could play poker or go to the races, or take up sky-diving.
