Correction to previous message The article I mentioned in my previous message ("Japan on the Brink") appeared in The Far Eastern Economic Review (April 16 98) The one I wanted to quote from was really the one in the Economist, March 21st to March 27th 98, Tadashi Nakamae, in "Three Futures for Japan", p. 27-30. Both had excellent coverage. I also wanted to add that the first prerequisite to invest in Japan should be a stable currency, which at this point it is not. Otherwise profits just evaporate in foreign exchange losses. sg

thanks for your great post. actually i am getting ready to buy some japanese companies at the first sign of progress on deregualtion and permanent tax cuts. my favorite companies for now are sony and honda, with canon, hitachi and fuji under consideration. i feel that sony and honda are two of the best managed (read western style profit driven) companies with the best looking technical charts. please stay in touch with us. let us know what is going on with the upper house elections, likelihood of permanent tax cuts, etc, we really appreciate your viewpoint!!!! curtis
