Borb, I don't trade in and out. I'm an investor tryint to capitalize on real economy issues and not a trader constantly reshuffling the portfolio on notions, gossips or rumors.. My target for the Nikkei is north of 20000 within a year.. I picked a lot of Japanese stocks over the last 2 years. Some became great performers: 6911 - New Japan Radio - Recommended at 350 Yen - now 1500 Yen 6974 - Nihon Inter - Rec'd at 190 Yen - Now 660 Yen 6951 - JEOL - Rec'd at 380 Yen - Now 800 Yen 6972 - ELNA - Rec'd at 260 Yen - Now 390 Yen 6772 - Tokyo Cosmos - Rec'd at 80 Yen - Now 125 yen 2551 - Marusanai - Rec'd at 430 Yen - Now 540 Yen others look like poised for a real upswsing - and I have been buying them in the past weeks 6844 - Shindengen Electric - 330 Yen - unchanged from my entry 4004 - Showa Denko KK - 216 Yen - recenty entry 2598 - Asahi Softdrinks - 570 Yen - up from 480 Yen where I bought it the only losses in Japan I suffered were from bad timing - I sold Tokyo Tokai securities and had to forego a 50% gain. I sold Ando Electric and missed a 100% gain. I sold Topcon too early and missed out a 70% gain.. Lesson - especially in Japan - be patient. It usually pays off.. rgrds CROSSY
