Hi Ray, I'd be interested in hearing if you see an correlation between the demographics of Japan and what we currently have in the US. And do you see a similar situation wrt the interest rate scenario beginning to play out in the US... Thanks

FWIW- My stock trading mentor always told me that Japan was 10 years ahead of the U.S.A. demographically. If you want to know what the next 10 yrs. hold for us (demographically speaking) look at Japan for the past 10 yrs. to present. Their aging population is a good road map for us. They invested in stocks like crazy during their peak earning yrs: 1980-1990, and they have become much more reserved since then.. I don't know if US markets will match as perfectly as the demographics- but it looks like the NDX does, so far anyway. Regards, TW
