RE: "...the Nikkei has been trying to get to 14,000 for about ten years now." Yes it has tried to go lower to equilibrate labor and capital markets including real estate imbalances but government officials have consistently intervened with "price controls" through postal savings injections and other artificial devices. Whether it breaks down through 14,000 I don't know...but I wouldn't be surprised. The resulting test of financial and banking solvency would probably be good in the long term for Japan and might even beneficially result in some bureaucrats losing their jobs. Personally I'd wait a while longer before committing equity funds to the Far East including Japan. Hope things are going well for you I2.
