Donald,

there are a lot of imbalances in Japan. I don't see anything positive but rather some potential major castastrophies.

The interest rate difference between Japan and the rest of the world is staggering. This gap needs to be closed in order for Japan, the second largest economy in the world, to be playing in the same field. With the big bang reform, the Japanese people are going to have the choice of investing in instruments other than postal savings at less than 1% return. I wonder what is going to happen to Japan Inc when they have to borrow at the same rate as US Inc for operating purposes?

How is Japan going to finance all the grand schemes? I am beginning to think that the Asian contagion is far worst off today than last year. While Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia are important to their respective citizens, none of them remotely pack the punch Japan could bring to the world if they finally collapse.

In the mean time, my fingers are never more than a few inches from the "sell" order button.
