Hey Glenn -- Japan? This old bear market may be over. And what a bear it has been. Why would the bear end here? Because there is 'hope' that real growth is possible in this market. One of the things I like to remind people is that surveys of individual investors in Japan at the top of the market reported that virtually everybody believed they would NEVER sell their shares and then they ALL turned around and sold their shares -- albeit over a period of a couple of years. Now they are ready to come back into the market. Take a well paid salaryman with a retirement cash payout of say, $1 U.S. looking to invest his money -- they think the U.S. market is a bubble. They are taking a second look at their own market. Having said that, even those who are paid to believe this is true are asking the $64,000 question -- was last weeks jump in GNP a blip or the beginning of a trend? BTW, the net is set to go through explosive growth in Japan which will rip the place to pieces. There is a generation gap between old and young unseen anywhere since the sixties in the U.S., and unemployment is going to go double digit this year in the land of 'lifetime employment' and 'full employment'. Japan is on a collision course with destiny -- I hope the outcome is positive.
