But maybe, just maybe, there may be a turn-around in the 'Land of the Rising Sun'. After all, the iShares MSCI Japan Index (EWJ) is up 20.8% since July 1 of last year.

Japan has the third largest economy in the world based on gross domestic product for purchasing power parity and nominal GDP. Three quarters of the GDP comes from the service sector. The country's unemployment rate is 5.1%. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is the largest exchange in the world outside of the United States.
