The iShares Japan ETF (EWJ-N) is gaining attention from experts as they shift focus away from the overheated North American markets towards Japan and emerging markets. The sentiment is positive due to ongoing fiscal stimulation in Japan, supporting the market's upward trend. Analysts have noted consistent breakout patterns in the chart, which eventually settle rather than spike dramatically. This stability is appealing to investors looking for less volatile opportunities. Furthermore, the recent consolidation phase of the chart presents a strategic entry point for those looking to invest, with experts suggesting that Japan's market is shaping up constructively, especially compared to riskier U.S. markets.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/06. Down 8.6%.) Sold his holdings at a profit.
HOLD
Japan has disappointed from political view. Will see 10% earnings growth this year. More likelihood market will go up rather than down. Unlikely to reach $16
PAST TOP PICK
Then 14.15 He sold, at 14.48. The international markets are doing well, but Japan (this stock) didn't participate.
DON'T BUY
Japan has had a 20-year history of being underwater. Puts them in a space very similar to where gold was 25 years ago. You need a lot of patience.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/06. Up 3.4%.) Had expected it to do better, but thinks it will improve. There is a gentle uptrend. He is looking for a double play with both the yen as well as the stock market.
COMMENT
His fund has a significant overweight in Japan. This is a 5-year secular story. Japanese companies have done a very good job of improving their profitability.
BUY
The Japanese market is the best international market to be focusing on.
BUY
This would be fine if you want to invest in the Japanese market. Japanese GDP is starting to grow, but slowly.
BUY
The US$ had some strength against the yen today but, overall, the last year or so, he has been beginning to see signs of strength coming from the Japanese economy. This would be a very good place to have exposure.
TOP PICK
Likes to bet where he can win twice. The Japanese yen is in an uptrend and the Japanese stocks are in an uptrend. If he can make 5% on the currency and another 5%-6% on the market, it’ll be a good year. If he’s wrong on one, the other one might save him.
COMMENT
Japan has had a very difficult year as a market. However, the growth rate exceeded his expectations. Have made good structural changes with strong balance sheets and margins at record highs.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 8/06. Up 0.07%.) There’s been a lot of volatility here and where there’s a lot of volatility, they are fabulous to trade.
BUY
He likes Japanese market for long term view. Believes that there is still opportunity to grow.
BUY
This is one way of having international access without having to own individual shares. It has had a 40% increase in the last year so only buy half a position now and fill the rest of your position later on.
BUY
Likes these iShares. Don't be put off by higher interest rates which will be going up. A big fan of Japanese equities.
