Japanese buy less of our debt cause it has to rebuild.

Worked 8 hrs for "the man".Celebrated @ Japanese hibatchi grill. ( the celebration is part of the deal, right?

The closest thing is the collapse of the Japanese credit bubble around 1990.

I'd stick to the 3 Japanese brands for cars, but I'm not familiar with cars as much as trucks.

Also a few vintage Japanese tea cups thrown in an attic.Some clown left their crack pipe in an outdoor electrical box once.Just found about 20 rakes, shovels, and assorted yard tools in the crawl space of the house I'm rehabbing now.

I also heard that Japanese, Chinese and Korean market are getting hot among foreigners, looking for better deals than they can find in Europe or US, with a lower risk and better economies.

The Japanese are a big percentage of our tourist and have been coming here for years.

in order to gain trust and assistance from the Japanese to help you.

Then when we started sourcing Japanese properties, all sorts of people, including very influential hedge fund managers etc (of the sort that brought the market crashing down in 2008) were saying similar things ("prices haven't risen in 15 years etc") - they're all (mom included) laughing out of the other side of their mouths now ;)Slow and steady does it - it takes those who go against the grain to make a real killing - and Detroit may be just the place to hit now, of all times.Best of luck and welcome aboard!

I think the Japanese economic disaster is something we need to study as we're likely to be dealing with many similar issues.
