HB, I sold off my JOF when the premium got too much for me to bear. I still own EWJ. Right now, the cheapest way to buy Japan is through Morgan Stanley Asia Pacific (APF) and Scudder New Asia (SAF). You get your Japan for 85-86 cents on the dollar. Of course, you get a lot of non-Japan Asia, too, which doesn't bother me much.

I would also prefer to be in the OTC sector in Japan, but I don't see a smart way to play it. JOF is overpriced. DFA can't manage their way out of a paper sack. And the stocks are almost impossible for us to follow individually and a diversified list would be out of my budget range.
