I’m the CEO of Metcon Finance which is a new Financial services company based in Mumbai, India. We look at Global Equities & Macroeconomics as well for our Investment Research and Japan is an important country for it. I agree with your views in the article and would also like to add that what we are seeing going forward is that the NIKKEI may grow by 13-15% this year and individual stocks may give returns of 22-30% as well. We like the Financials, Steel, Manufacturing, Technology and Infrastructure sectors. Companies like Dai-ichi Life, Kansai Electric, Mizuho Financial Group, Ricoh among others.

The article is for no one in particular. The list at the end is provided to show how the TSE is trying to attract more investors, in this case women investors or people who want to encourage more participation by women in Japanese business.

It was insightful but is this article for women who made it in the list?

I thought your article was very insightful. I only see the Nikkei in terms of yen based economics. But I’m also of the mind the recent surge was not all due to politics that the Nikkei may in fact be just playing catch up.
