Craig: Although not an "expert", I have watched Japan's economic morass for quite a long time. The changes have just been too little and too slow, and the repetitive resort to quick fixes has left them with few options -- such incredible ability in so many ways -- but wasted. Do you know that in the 1960s and 70s and even early 80s Japan achieved remarkable productivity gains? They are paying dearly for their excesses and their inability to set a new course. Their stock market bubble hid the glaring imbalances in their economy until it was too late -- and I do think AG knows this very well. The bubble which peaked last spring in our markets was a threat to our economic future -- thank goodness it is almost over. But there are still imbalances and they will be painful in some ways. For now, I have been influenced by you and try to keep a balanced perspective -- but nobody would call me extra bullish at this point -- just trading the rally in a bear market. Good luck.
