This just sounds like private equity is entering Japan and is beginning with their initial sugar high to the corporate sector and will likely end up in the same place as the American economy.

Japan is really moving slowly, their engineering is still one of the best, bit they are just not developing fast enough making enough risks.

Sad. Less Public companies mean less disclosure to investors more chance to get them screwed.

Can't help but think about correlation of when Sony started to decline to appointing Howard Stringer as CEO & Chairman. Under his reign, Sony's main focus shifted to Hollywood away from its traditional strength (consumer products), and started bleeding cash. Sony has started to slowly rebuild different parts of the company.

Getting off the stock exchange is the best way to go! Companies can now focus on their products rather than Quarterly reports and the Whims of Stock Holders! Make your company grow by making Profits, not by selling Stocks!

What's up with Bloomberg doing this extended coverage of Japan's rebirth thesis 😅. Because the host and the teams wants to travel in Japan longer? 😂
