Analysts say Japan market requires long-term plan

Article Abstract:

Analysts believe a long-term strategy is best for those planning to invest in Japanese equities. The optimism seen a few months ago has largely dissipated amidst the combined effects of the Kobe earthquake, political scandals and a slowdown in exports. They strongly advise investors against playing the market's daily fluctuations or attempting to hold stocks for three to five years. However, they also stress that investors should not entirely give up on Japan as its economic strength will eventually become reflected in its stock prices.

Analysts are wary of latest attempts to boost Japan's lagging stock market

Article Abstract:

Two attempts to boost the slumping Japanese stock market reflect the lack of direction for Japanese stocks. The first attempt concerns the bid of more than 120 Japanese brokers to market a fund intended to match the Nikkei 300 Stock Index. A second and larger attempt is Toyota Motor Corp.'s announcement that it intends to share more profits with shareholders via higher dividends.
