There is a compelling argument doing the rounds about Japanese stocks-with rising inflation money will enter stocks from bonds and real estate.It doesnt hurt that Japanese stocks are very much below their all time highs and have been down for years.But won't stocks be hurt by high inflation leading to higher rates?I would prefer Yen but since I have that in another portfolio,I am going long Japanese stocks.
