A Japanese Tale

<< In early 1991 I read in Newsweek that the that the land value of Greater Tokyo was worth 20% more than the whole of the USA.

If a hypothetical owner of Tokyo sold his property in early 1991, he could have bought outright all 50 states of the USA and still have 20% of his capital available to develop his new home - the US of A. UNREAL!

As an ex-physicist and ex-computer systems analyst turned technical analyst with an interest in markets and economics, this fact to me spelled Disaster with a capital D. From that time on I gathered as much information I could find about what was happening in Japan and why the situation had developed in the first place. This became more urgent when the property bubble burst later in 1991 - and it became evident to me why the whole world was being caught up in a vortex that would drag most economies into its depths. -- cont'd -- >>
