Tokyo investors to keep eye on Fed, BOJ meetings next week

It's good to know what the 1% will be concerned with. The rest of us will be watching to see if we still have a little extra left over as the cost of living keeps going up as our wages stagnate or decline, or even if we have a job.

Tokyo investors do not need to look anywhere except at Japanese Pension Funds (!)

So glad I got out of yen 3 years ago and into the dollar and swiss francs. It's a continuing 1 way bet! The only question with the yen is how far it will fall and how quickly.

"So glad I got out of yen 3 years ago and into the dollar and swiss francs."

What about Bitcoin? No good?

If you stay out the yen completely, more fool you. Been so much movement you could have ridden a thousand waves by now. 1% shifts down, then up, then down... buy low, sell high. Beautiful ride.

What about Bitcoin? No good?

Not if you value your financial assets, IMO. You might hit the jackpot, if you get ahead of the right curve, but Bitcoin as a financial asset looks like a bubble that popped, to me. (Peaked above 1,000 USD, now just 286 USD).

The technology no doubt has good applications though.

less than 10% of people make money on the currency markets, most of those are big corporations with the resources (inside info) the other 90% dont. day trading is even riskier, over the long term most people will lose. youve got more change of making money playing blackjack at the casino.

Being a part of the 10% works for me. Ka-ching.
