I mean a Japanese employee about to retire who put his/her future in NIKKEI in 1989. How many years has it been now, 18 years? If the guy retired then, he/she must be dead by now and in misery he/she must have died.
1989 is not a year chosen at random. Obviously the financial racket is about odds. But someone who started in 1989 wouldn't retire until, what, 2019? 2025? Who knows what's going to happen between now and then? What about someone who started in 1979? You could do the same with an American in 1929, but it would be stacking the deck to prove a point that's mostly wrong. Doug
