You Should Buy Japanese Stocks And Japanese Banks

"You should buy Japanese stocks and Japanese banks. This is the absolute contrarian play. Nobody is interested in Japan, all the funds have withdrawn money from Japan, they have given up on Japan.

I guarantee you the economy will not do well, forget about the economy, the population is shrinking, but you can have an economy that does not do well but the companies do well. There is a big difference and I think the Japanese banks are very depressed. All the banks in Asia have actually recovered very strongly but not the Japanese banks so as a contrarian play I would look at that."
