If you’re new to international investing, I recommend these articles – most of them aren’t Japan specific, very beginner oriented, and just lay down best practices for any investment destination, including some tips on how to choose where to invest, as well.

Oh, yes, and also I said that Japan’s growth this last quarter will last forever and also cures cancer. Thanks for the translations. Freckle, did you actually want to say something except “boo boo boo everything you say is boo and I don’t like it”?…[Read more]

We still get a fair few contacts off people who are reading the posts here though. Most likely the US gold rush is over, which is why we’re not hearing as many personal stories as we used to…but it seems to me people…[Read more]

This is the first in a long string of speculations you’ve put forth that are nowhere near a certainty – while I can’t profess to know what will happen to the Yen, Japan’s economy (nor any other country’s) or the price of eggs on Mars, your assumption seems to completely ignore…[Read more]

If you really want to see how "racist" Japan is, feast your eyes on this –
