Yes . Yes we are safe only if we think short term. Yet we plan so different.

Tokyo Earthquakes and the financial markets Michael Lewis who wrote the Money Culture in 1991, has an essay on the probability of a massive destructive earthquake in Tokyo and its potential effect on the US economy resulting from a repatriation of Japanese assets from the US. The last major earthquake was in 1923 and historically Tokyo has shown a periodicity of major earthquakes every 70 years going back several hundred years. Tokyo is currently overdue for a major earthquake that will have profound consequences on both Japan and the US. Obviously, the period is only approximate but if anyone has a copy of Money Culture available could they list the last 5 or so major earthquakes that occurred in Tokyo. The data was somewhat startling to me. rolatzi
