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.

WEAK BUY
To get this diversification of Japan, by this slowly, don't rush into it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A top pick Sept. 28/05 up 13%) Just took that position off a couple of days ago. Japan is starting to lose momentum compared to other countries.
BUY
This is a good way to invest in Japan.
TOP PICK
The Japanese market has definitely turned. All the signs point to continued growth in the economy.
COMMENT
Prefers to be an active investor and buy individual stocks rather than buying a basket of stocks where some are good and some are bad.
BUY
Likes Japan. If you believe in Japan and thinks there's some potential there, this is a way to play it.
TOP PICK
Likes the technical structure that he's seen in the short run here. Made a higher high and basically have taken out the key resistance level of around $11. There's big volume coming in to Japan now. Anytime there is a correction, you want to be a buyer. Will be counter cyclical to what is happening in the US.
BUY
Looking for more upside. Can see between 14000/16000 which would put this up around the $15 level. Expects to buy some shortly.
BUY
Valuations outside of US are better. Japan is a very attractive market right now. Currency and stock market are strong. This one gives you broad coverage in the Japanese market.
TRADE
Q: Borrowed on margin US$'s and bought Japan iShares. Q: A neat strategy. What you haven't made on iShares will be picked up on the $. Japan's economy is better than it has been in a decade. Has limited knowledge on Japanese market.
BUY
Gives exposure to the broader Japanese market. Believes Japan will provide fairly healthy returns for the next 3 years.
WEAK BUY
Still thinks Japan is on its way back. Caution: These are based on US$ and he feels that the US$ will be dropping.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Got nervous about the market in March and sold their holdings. Would consider buying if they sold off a bit.
BUY
Japan looks like a reasonable place to invest in.
BUY
Japanese stocks have really taken off on sales to China. Things it still has a way to go. Could also benefit from a weakening US dollar.
