The recovery in Japan and Asia: Time to buy? LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- Japan has been in the doldrums for most of this decade. However, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's Japan strategist recently announced that " Japan's bear market ended on March 4, 1999," according to Mutual Funds magazine which went on to say that if you're "worried about the pricey Dow, then look to Japan, where the bull market is just beginning." Now wait a minute, folks -- even if there is a genuine economic recovery in the Pacific Rim, you gotta answer two big questions: First: Should you actually sell some of your "pricey" U.S. big-cap stock funds to buy some Japan and Asia funds? Or would that mean you're just chasing the latest hot fund fad? And secondly, what about the bigger issue? Should this short-term recovery of the Japanese stock market have any impact on your portfolio's long-term asset allocations? cbs.marketwatch.com

>He concluded, "The case for diversification, across investment styles (growth vs. value), capitalization (large vs. small), and equity markets (U.S. vs. international), is strong."< Gee, sounds like a case for something like an index fund. Maybe even something like a total market fund. Sounds familiar. I think I've heard a guy on the radio say the same thing a time or two.
