For five years, Japan will not produce income for your shareholders, but then it will, and you'll be ready. Financial services are a fantastic opportunity there. The country has none, basically. Whatever financial services are in Japan are offered by foreigners. There are no opportunities in Japan in commercial banking, but that's true of everywhere in the world.
Commercial banking is a dying industry.
A lot of Japanese businesses will be looking for foreign partners, especially in finance, but perhaps even more so in consumer goods, in production, and in some areas of distribution. Let me ask you about another country, Russia, that drew a lot of attention from investors but that turned into a quagmire last year. Let me start out by saying that I'm prejudiced. I went to Russia in 1929 for a British newspaper, the Manchester Guardian, as a correspondent when I was barely 20 years old. I have not yet recovered from the horror.
