That's right. Blame other countries when Abe's three arrow plan doesn't work!

Nikkei has dropped nearly 6% in last three days and 3% consumption tax hike is yet to take place.

The market correction has been already underway quietly since about 10 days ago.

Japan's economy is going to drop like the proverbial stone after April. Scary place to be. What is the future for japan, hard to see any.

A few more days like this you will not need to wait till April for the Nikkei to drop way below 13,000. Congratulations Shinzo Abe. You are going to do it!

With political corruption, demography changes, no e economic structural reforms, too much national debt, no big bang inventions, I actually agree with you.
