Japan Distressed Investing

All:

Don't mean to exploit a bad situation, as my heart goes out to those affected in Japan.

However, I stood prudent while friends made money on past events such as Greece, Ireland, etc.

When and where to put money in Japan?

My friend and I were looking at Japanese value opportunities before this even started. You could find a couple dozon companies that were generating positive cash flows, and traded at NEGATIVE enterprise values. It was literally absurd. I was going to buy several of these, but my cheap-ass broker wouldn't let me buy japanese shares.

 

Buy ishares or a japan etf. You don't want to buy japanese listed companies right now, cause when the yen depreciates like crazy you'll be caught with your pants down.
