i do not have anything i want to sell Ditto. I have two winning Powerball lottery equity tickets, one tiny, one not so tiny [riding the coattails of Buffet-like famous Kiwi Chandler brothers], but both well profitable now, huge downdraft necessary to put me underwater on them so I let them ride, gather steam. Other equity positions absolutely inconsequential. There's nothing I want to buy. Yet. But it is early. October, it's always in October.

Japan doing for Brazil what they did for China. Investing heavily in infrastructure, materials and commodities. Thus profiting from the investment they made in China to make products at the same profiting on the supply of the materials and commodities to fuel that Chinese industrial boom. Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Nippon Steel Corp., the world's second-largest steelmaker, said its Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA unit will invest 1 trillion yen ($8.4 billion) to expand production in Brazil. Mitsui last month said it would invest $200 million over three years to expand its locomotive and bulk rail-car fleet in Brazil, focusing on routes between soybean growing regions in Mato Grosso state and Atlantic Coast ports. Mitsui, which invests more in Brazil than in any other country, will buy the stake in Multigrain's Swiss holding company, the Tokyo-based trading house said today in a release. The stake will cost about 30 billion yen ($251 million), the Nikkei newspaper reported, without saying where it got the information. Japan- Brazil ethanol plan cni.org.br

Fund looks for Japanese companies with international focus. iht.com Kinugawa, for his part, is choosing the most global Japanese companies. He is particularly bullish on trading houses, institutions with roots in the 17th century that now operate worldwide in areas like resource development and plant construction. Mitsubishi, the largest trading company in Japan with global sales of ¥20.5 trillion, or $167 billion, in the last fiscal year, has businesses in 77 countries. Four of the five largest Japanese trading companies were in Kinugawa's top 10 holdings as of June 29, with Marubeni the biggest in the fund. The fund also holds Mitsubishi; Mitsui, the second-biggest trading house; and Itochu. All are based in Tokyo except Itochu, which is in Osaka. Their profits surged to a record last year as demand from China and India, the fastest-growing Asian economies, fueled gains in prices of steel, copper, zinc and iron ore. Japanese trading companies expect their investments in mines and oil fields from Russia to Brazil to increase earnings.
