It's easy to argue that 1989 was a bubble, but even if you eliminate that, it's essentially been stagnant since the early 1990s.
I don't get it. It's not like fly-ridden people are starving in the streets. You'd think that even stagnation would produce a mild gain every year just due to inflation. I keep pondering buying in on Japan, but after 20 years, what's changing for the positive? I'm mystified.
