Two ways for Nikkei to go up in the short term 1) Foreigners stampeding back 2) Gov't manipulation The former will happen if tax cut is made permanent The latter happens when tottering banks' balance sheet require some window dressing--usually in March/April.

<<<<<There seems no way for Nikkei to go up at all. ......if they deregulate and make tax cuts permanent, the nikkei will rise. they are still a rigid, "command and control" economy. they are not flexible enough to compete with other markets. ....they are fine for a few years. but if they do not make drastic changes there could be a serious depression with high unemployment and lots of poverty. for now, they are the wealthiest, rigid economy in the industrial world--but the wealth will not last forever.
