On my last trip to Japan, I discovered that ordinary Japanese consumers are very sensitive to their currency. A tour guide and her husband told me that they kept their savings in U.S. dollars. I think most Japanese understand that the soaring yen in the late 1980s was a major part of the their stock market crash and the collapse of their economy. They want to see the yen come down so their economy will improve and their stock market will rise. If I am wrong in my timing, there is still very little risk in the Japan OTC Fund.
Japanese stocks can double and still be far below their old highs.
The daily trading volume is low, often below 100,000 shares. This means you must set buy limits. Don't chase the stock. Its price will run up and down with the Japanese stock market. In other words, there is no hurry.
