Japan lost 50% of their entire market cap years ago and have still been struggling. Just because a stock/market has fallen does not make it a value play. American cos. are growing both top and and bottom line growth, and many have zero debt, something the Korean cos. cannot say. There are several Japanese banks which have fallens 95%+ yet nobody is buying. Why? People are not sure what bad debts they have on the books. It's a dangerous assumption to believe that simply b/c a stock has fallen, it is now a value play. I am not saying do not invest; only that if you do it will probably be dead $$ for several years.

BTW, I believe YHOO is now $5B+ and AMZN near $5B
