Re: japan, oil or gold
I think a lot depends on your time frame. It seems to me that Oil and to a lesser extent Gold would make better long term investments than Japan.
Given current market, I don't think you could go wrong with any of these in the short term. Bubba |

Re: japan, oil or gold
Once the U.S. starts pulling out of Iraq, the Kurds are likely to declare northern Iraq to be the sovereign state of Kurdistan. That will piss off the Sunnis. Civil war will ensue and 2 million barrels of oil per day come off the market.
Alternatively, Israel gets pissy about Iran's nuclear ambitions and destoys Iran's nuclear plants -- just like it did to Iraq's nuclear facilities several years ago. Or Al-Queda starts sabotaging the oil fields, refineries, pipelines, etc. in Saudia Arabia. None of these are inconceivable. If any of theme come close to becoming reality, gold and oil will both do well. |

Re: japan, oil or gold
Ed and Evan seem to be doing a good job of unmasking your silliness over in the Google thread, so I'll jump on the bandwagon here....
Which to buy? Japan, which has run up 53% in the last 12 months? Oil, which has run up ~52%? Or gold, which has only run up ~24%? Personally, I think all three of these look weak when you compare them to Google's 115%. |

Why would China fare worse than Japan?
Japan has 3 times more dollars than China |
