Jacob,

Re:As long as the Japanese economy is getting smaller, the U.S. economy is getting bigger, rates of return on Japanese bonds and equities are near-zero or worse, rates of return on U.S. bonds are far higher than in Japan, then capital will continue to flow out of Japan to the U.S

To date, the Japanese investors have not shipped their $$ overseas and interest rates have been 1/2 of 1 percent. What makes you think that is about to change anytime soon? They are shell-shocked from the collapse of their stock market and the bursting of their real estate bubble and simply want to preserve their capital.
