The Japanese tried very hard to reinflate their market. Didnt work. But they also had strong employment because the US and the world was buying their production. That’s all over now. Look for the Yen to be going down for a while as the globe contracts. We now have high unemployment and deflating asset prices. This is called a depression by most people. The word’s getting used a lot more now than just 3 months ago. Any asset that takes a lot debt to buy it, will be headed down in price for a while yet.
