"Japan. I've been looking for a vehicle to bottom fish Japan, any idea? EWJ? Or some close end funds with deep discount? TIA"

Bosco,
Yes. I have an idea. Symbol: JOF. I picked this up, from all people, Bill Fleckenstein. He mentioned it in his nightly column. I have not had time to check it out. Would appreciate hearing what you learn about it. I was shocked Bill mentioned it because he is about the biggest bear I have ever seen. He's been bearish for about 2 years now and I don't think I've seen him more bearish than he is TODAY.

For bargain hunters...

Bill Fleckenstein--I would like to say that in terms of cheap stocks, the Japanese over-the-counter stocks really are quite a value. I haven't done much work myself, but I do happen to know about them because my friend Jim Grant actually has a limited partnership, Nippon Partners, dedicated to investing in over-the-counter Japanese securities. So any of our readers who are accredited investors can contact Grant's at www.grantspub.com for more information. For those of you who aren't accredited investors, you might want to have a look at JOF - that's the symbol for a Japanese OTC fund. I don't know anything about it other than it exists.
