And i am sure you would also argue that they underpay their CEO's and fail to grant huge stock options which our market has proven to be essential to great performance... That's not a difference I would ever feel is significant to point out in regards to the topic. I was simply pointing out its hard to make comparisons between what happened there and what will happen here. If you want to make a better comparison you could compare what happened to the US when it was a supply based economy back in the 1920-30s with what Japan has gone through. There are lots of people who want to think our indices will follow Japan's ten year slump and they would be correct in doing that if they never removed the failing companies from the indices....but the indices are self correcting because we allow the companies to fail and disappear to be replaced by those that are successful. We've reached the Schumpeter phase here. The universe of companies making headlines in the US will be very different ten years from now, as drastically different as they are now from ten years ago and ten years before that.
