According to expert reviews, the iShares Japan ETF (EWJ-N) is gaining attention as investors seek opportunities outside the overcooked North American markets. Japan is highlighted as a key market currently in an uptrend, supported by fiscal stimulation. The technical charts exhibit a pattern of breakouts and consolidations, which experts find appealing as it indicates a steady rise rather than a volatile parabolic climb. This stability has prompted some investors to gradually build positions, especially as the market shows signs of bottoming out during the current consolidation phase. With US markets perceived as riskier, Japan's recent breakout from a prolonged resistance is seen as a constructive development, which could present a favorable buying opportunity.

Valuation

Fair Value

Vanguard, VWO

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.
