Either the money managers realize that stocks are overpriced and start to sell, or the Japanese invest some (most?) of the $ 2 trillion in Big Bang money that comes free 4/1/98 in US equities sending them to the moon. Japan is in dire shape and can't afford to compete with 6% interest rate (currently 1/2%) or have depositors withdraw money. I wouldn't be surprise if Japan suspends the reforms. Eventually I think Japan will be the Tsunami that knocks down this house of cards.
