I asked a Japanese friend of mine that very question: "Of the $10 trillion how much and who would... invest in "foreign" financial assets.

The answer: "My father never will but he is very poor. He has saved only $200K. Rich people will invest. That is why they are rich...because they are smart."

Average Japanese savings per person are $120K. I read somewhere that average American savings per person were minus $2,800. (credit cards, installment plans, etc.)

At that the Japanese man said that $1-$3 trillion might migrate over time "offshore".
