I like SNE. In general my preference is towards owning individual stocks, but with international situations you are better off in a fund like JPNFY or whatever it's called. The Japan Fund. Don't play ADRs. The stocks rise but the ADRs don't. It's a shell game. Since I believe Japan, precious metals, oils, and shorts, are now the investment with a future, the question is which way to play? Long gold, short stock. I believe this is a little better than long yen or Japanese stocks. Also, this isn't a hedged position. Don't hedge. If you want to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
