William <2000 vs 1986> In 1986, Japanese industry was flying high. It was decimated by their absurd bubble. Investors in Japanese stocks all swore they would never sell, and then over the cruel grinding years of stock price declines, with small caps giving up 80-90% of their market cap, most all the mutual funds holders did sell. It was a financial disaster. This is not 1986 -- that was their bubble. This is 2000 - our turn. The Japanese learned to do something we never did learn -- they learned to save money. We like to take it to the casino and call it "investing" cause nobody wants to admit they put their paychecks into a card game. Today they stand alone -- with 10 trillion US dollars in savings, not worthless stocks, and they survey the horizon and say -- no thanks, we have had enough of your markets. Get a grip on reality.
