Tell me about Japan, anon.
I'm trying to figure out if it finally would be a good time to buy japanese stocks. The market peaked 25+ years ago. Almost everyone took on huge loans and after the turmoil a bunch of zombie banks were left behind.
What im interested in are the maturity dates. Most of the loans that caused the problems were probably issued in 1985-1990. How long were these loans? Are they close to maturity dates? If most of the bad loans have been paid off do they still pose a problem? What is still depressing the market?
So im wondering if we finally might be able to see growth. Or are the demographics so bad that there will be no growth during the next generation?

Global Japanese may grow because of growth abroad but the Japanese economy itself will struggle so long as the population is falling.

Pros: Stronk focus on technology. Efficiency. Good education.
Cons: Very little in the way of energy resources. Huuuuge Sovereign debt:GDP (although internally held). Lack of Pop. growth. Aging population.

Japan has already experienced what the west is about to experience in terms of enacted economic policies and its after effects. The key difference however is that due to extremely low illegal or even legal immigration, Japan's supposed "decline" will be much slower than the West's because they already have self sufficient industries. The west is going under the assumption more illegal immigrants = cheap labor and faster economic growth. What they fail to realise is that these immigrants will mostly be funded by welfare and cheap credit which will just continue to increase government budget deficits.
Kek. We're are so fucked.
