>> $600 billion a year has flowed into the US markets<< this is most likely an estimate of total current U.S. stock/bond/real estate assets held by Japanese, including their govt. Not really a very scary number - U.S. citizens and investment entities own WAY more than that of other countries' assets worldwide. It is also rarely mentioned that Japan has enormous debts to foreign countries , in the form of JGBs , bank loans , and other arrangements. The world's perception of Japan's wealth is extremely overblown - why do you think they are in such a mess right now ? The yen is dropping like a rock , and the Japanese government is literally begging the other G-7 nations to help stop the free-fall. They can't possibly issue the true numbers on their banking crisis , or it would shock the world. Mighty Japan....smoke and mirrors....propaganda....throw in a healthy dose of BS....and there you have it.
