Hello Maurice, what you noted are certainly the conventional worries, arising out of a decade-plus experience, and I hope everyone else continues to believe in those conventional worries, until the fund is fully invested :0) As to Japan disappearing or otherwise trying to work the robots for house cleaning and spousal duties and to make Toyotas, I do not believe it will happen quite that way, because the logic is too linear for a world that folds in on itself. There is of course the risk that Japan may disappear due to some N.Korean robot going boom. To guard against that risk, I would just stock up on Lexus SUV spare parts rather than forego the opportunity to loot Japan real estate. Chugs, Jay

Horie is only a paper billionaire, just like his predecessors in Silicon Valley, during the tech boom. The real billionaire is Mr. Mori, the owner of many of the brand new office buildings in Tokyo. The risk in Tokyo real estate is an earthquake. That some how doesn't stop people from moving to the Tokyo area, where most of the headquarters of large Japanese companies are located. The pull of the center, is there as Paris is to France, even more so.
