joe you crack me up with your rather piercing observation of the Japanese investment style. But in this case I don't think Softbank advised anyone to buy Yahoo or anything else,all they have done was increased their stake in Yahoo. I for one wouldn't write off the Japanese yet just because the media only told us about their investment blunders, I wonder how many good investments that they have made over the years that we know nothing about??????

Hey besides they help us pay our bills on time.

PS: I am not Japanese but for what it is worth I don't think you have offended them in any way by making some good observations about their investment style, but in this day and age of 'political correctness' and all you'll never know.<gg>

I see you live in S.Korea,how are things over there these days.I spent couple of weeks over there in late 80s,stayed at hotel Shilla (sp?).Have you been there if so they still have the American band at the club???? Oh BTW love them eel skin wallets.Itawan (sp?) market rules! Hope you like Kimchi.<gg>

Joe, the investment was intended to prop the stock up by promoting the notion that a big company will come along to snap up Yhoo.Softbank couldn't afford to buy them, so its not too much of a threat, really.
