I. Possible Lessons from the Japanease (slump) bear market

Japanease stock index Nikkie touched 39,000 mark in late 1980s, today it is struggling around 9,000. Virtually there was zero growth for last two decades in the Asia's largest and world's second largest economy. Fiscal measures, monetary measures all failed one after another in bringing back the normalcy.  When one look into the reasons (Irrational credit expansion and reality boom) that caused the downfall of the Japnease economy, one certainly get worried about future prospects from the current juncture.  

Here i would like to initiate and encourage the debate on the possible causes for the continued slump in the Japnease economy. Particularly i invite the arguments on the following issues:

  • Reasons for the failure of fiscal and monetary measures in Japan
  • Why an average Japanease citizen save so high? (even after realising that their savings and investments have gone for a vain)
  • Possible measures to be adapted to cure the Japanease truma
  • Implications of prolonged Japanease slump to the current debacle of the global financial system.
I will be posting my ideas on the above issues during this weekend.....I welcome your insights (on the issues raised), suggestions and comments....
