Foreign investors very much credit Koizumi...with the economic recovery Japan is now enjoying. Strengthening (his) hand to move ahead with further reforms is exactly what investors want to see.
The recovery is firing on all pistons ... Spending is going to be one of the key surprises that will have us upgrading our assessments.
Retail investors are value-hunting now. The asset managers and any institutions with money are starting to come back in.
Investors are now coming to grips with the fact that oil is not going to retreat any time soon.
Hedge funds have used listing as a method of fund raising, with varied level of success. It certainly broadens the reach to investors.
The industrial production number is a big surprise. The expected knee-jerk reaction was certainly evident at the open.
While a Koizumi win was priced in, such a decisive victory ... is more than most were expecting. Koizumi will now be able to push his reform agenda with a much freer hand.
There are a lot of uncertainties. Polls don't really mean a lot.
It's quite shocking. We don't really know how investors are going to react. We have to see how fast the Tokyo Stock Exchange can upgrade its system.
