At this stage it's not a question of investment return, it is institutional capital requirements and solvency set by BIS. The Nikkei has never been at 12,000 before when they marked to market. You can't put bank capital requirements in just anything,. There are very conservative standards (gold?).

Of course the trillion in postal savings is different. If the Japanese don't come up with decent investment instruments, their citizens may start stampeding abroad.
