>>There is a huge amount of cash in Japan that is seeking
both interest rate differentials and higher equity returns.
Japanese investors have approximately $13 trillion in liquid
financial assets and over 50% of this, is in cash deposits.

The retail Japanese investor is a huge factor in the U.S.
Stock Market. While the BOJ is under huge political pressure
to protect their exporters...this creates tremendous outlfows
of cash into other markets.

...that's why - "it's off to the races again."

This is a structural trend - not a cyclical one. And it
will continue untill the NIKKEI outperforms global markets.<<

I get it now. They have been building up a huge pile of cash so the could buy stocks at new highs.

I don't think so.
