Interestingly, I have read two articles on Japan's economy since last night. I will give you my nutshell takes on both of them. The BARRONS article, filled with more doom and gloom, of course, said the j Japanese economy was two years away from a recovery. They stated the need for banking reform and the general way the way their stock markets operated. It was indicated that they are urging Japanese companies to split their stocks and reduce lot sizes, so the average person can partake. There was some speculation about a "correction" , but that it would be a quick blip. Then I read FORTUNE which said the the Internet was going to wake up the Japanese economy and cause radical change, particularly to the banking industry. There was mention of Son and how he and a few others were behind this evolution. This article more aggressive and straight forward. Neither seemed to think that ultimately things weren't headed in a better direction. So, that's the good news! linda
