Japan's business confidence at more than 6-year high: BOJ

Can only go down from here.

Japan's business confidence at more than 6-year high: BOJ

and yet J-economy will require stimulus package of trillions of Yen within a few months time !

Watch consumer spending drop and retailers panic. Not gonna be pretty, but Abe and his pals will be okay.

@some14some

Business confidence/investment is medium-long term, while fiscal stimulus is short-term. Apples to oranges, not the right comparison.

Agree with you, though, that stimulus is likely to come.

Gotta love how good economic news provokes increasingly negative responses from the pro-austerity, conservatives, etc.. No wonder, as they're watching their worldview crumble, as their predictions continue to fail to materialize and real events prove their theories to be wrong.

They were happier, it seems, when the economy was shrinking.

No wonder some of the major companies in Japan are offering pity Y2,000 yen ($20.00) monthy increase to their employees salary. Sounds like alot of confidence to their workers.

Have you wondered where this BOJ optimism is coming from? Another cooked up self justification?

Also, you can't discount that most of the negative people here are "fake" people, i.e. fake people paid for by the Communist Party of China to sow confusion in the discussion groups regarding Japan.

These people are known as fifty-centers (i.e. Wumao in Chinese) as they allegedly receive 50 Chinese cents (50 Yuan) per post that promotes Beijing's line or demolishes an opponent's line.
