""""whatever the Japanese investors are doing, i want to fade it, big time. that's why i've been a buyer of Japanese equities this year.""" Funny. You do not think Japan's economy is tanking further like US or any other place anymore. No more financial collapse of 2001 and 2002 anymore!! Wow. What about bond investment? I thought 5% interest is all you want. BH

agreed that Japanese are world's worst investors their entire govt pension program is locked in bond funds the funds pay under 1/2 of 1% imagine the value when rates rise to 3% !!! but among all the Japanese investors, I believe only a small minority are migrating to gold imho they are the smart ones, following the beat of distant drummer the issue has wider spectre than Japan a minority of their people are reacting to increasingly volatile currency swings that are inherent to fiat currency systems Argentina, Turkey, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil -- take your pick currency problems abound those who pegged to dollar are collapsing now I honestly expect a slow gradual transition, with occasional violent turbulence, back to SOME backed currency perhaps some basket of commodities such as (gold, silver, oil, lumber) the alternative is shocking and painful the USdollar has become a debt instrument (flip side of USTBond) AND a world store of value that is untenable / jim
